'ITH  pleasure  we  present  this  volume  dealing  with 
'the  resources,  various  industries  and  institutions  and 
many  points  of  interest  in  Arizona,  the  youngest  State 
in  the  Union.  This  hook  also  commemorates  the  ac- 
tivities and  achievements  of  those  Arizonans  who  have 
contributed  to  the  development  and  are  now  furthering  the  growth 
and  progress  of  this  great  commonwealth.  Owing  to  the  book 
being  larger  and  more  complete  than  was  originally  intended,  pub- 
lication has  been  delayed,  but  we  feel  that  the  delay  is  justified  in 
the  improvement  which  has  resulted.  Even  so,  the  book  is  not  en- 
tirely satisfactory,  and  in  a  short  time  a  revised  edition  will  follow. 
There  arc  a  number  of  citizens  whose  contributions  to  the  upbuilding 
of  Arizona  are  such  that  their  omission  from  the  volume  leaves  it 
incomplete.  They  will  be  given  space  in  the  new  edition.  We  be- 
lieve this  second  attempt  will  surpass  any  previous  publication  deal- 
ing with  Arizona,  both  in  scope  and  method  of  treatment.  Like  the 
present  volume  the  next  edition  will  be  strictly  a  home  production 
issued  from  the  job  department  of  the  Arizona  Daily  Star  at  Tucson. 
We  desire  to  extend  thanks  to  those  who  have  made  this  book  a  suc- 
cess, by  extending  their  financial  support,  suggestions  and  encourage- 
ment.

IN      ARIZONA 


ARIZONA 


Although  the  youngest  state,  Arizona  is  one  of  the  largest  and  is 
u'ithout  doubt  the  richest  in  natural  resources.  Her  history  is  most 
interesting,  and  exemplifies  the  saying  "Truth  is  stranger  than  fiction." 
The  story  of  the  settlement  of  the  territory,  the  gaining  of  statehood, 
and  the  development  of  the  marvelous  industries  and  the  many  points 
of  interest  are  here  briefly  outlined. 

IT  WAS  during  the  trying  times  of  the  Civil  War,  in  1863,  that 
President  Lincoln  approved  the  act  establishing  the  Territory  of 
Arizona,  and  what  had  previously  been  the  County  of  Arizona  was 
then  formally  separated  from  New  Mexico.  At  the  time  of  the  or- 
ganization of  the  Territory  of  Arizona  the  white  population  was 
20,000.  Provision  had  been  made  for  changing  the  boundaries,  and 
by  adding  certain  portions  of  it  to  Nevada  in  1866  the  Arizona  of 
today  was  outlined.  John  A.  Gurley  of  Ohio  was  first  appointed 
governor,  but  as  he  died  before  assuming  the  office,  John  N.  Goodwin 
of  Maine,  who  was  appointed  to  take  his  place,  was  the  first  acting 
Governor.  Governor  Goodwin,  in  company  with  a  detachment  of 
cavalry,  traveled  westward  from  Santa  Fe,  and  at  Navajo  Springs 
hoisted  the  American  flag  and  read  President  Lincoln's  Proclamation 
of  Establishment.  Another  short  stop  having  been  made  at  what  is 
now  Del  Rio  railway  station,  they  then  passed  on  to  the  new  military 
post  at  Whipple  Barracks,  and  thence  to  Prescott,  where  in  the  winter 
of  1864-1865  the  first  legislative  session  of  Arizona  was  held  in  a  log 
hut  especially  erected,  the  first  meeting  having  occurred  October  4, 
1864.  In  1867  the  capitol  was  removed  to  Tucson,  then  the  most 
important  settlement  in  the  Southwest,  but  after  ten  years  was  re- 
turned to  Prescott,  where  it  remained  until  1889,  when  the  first  Act 
of  the  Legislature  was  to  remove  the  capitol  and  the  pending  session 
to  Phoenix.  There,  prior  to  1901,  the  year  which  saw  the  comple- 
tion of  the  new  capitol  building,  the  sessions  were  held  in  the  City 
Hall.  At  the  first  session  of  the  Legislature  the  Territory  was  di- 
vided into  four  counties,  Pima,  Yuma,  Mohave  and  Yavapai,  named 
for  the  friendly  tribes  of  Indians.  Maricopa,  the  fifth  county,  was 
organized  in  1871  out  of  Yavapai,  while  Greenlee,  the  fourteenth 
and  last  organized,  was  formed  from  Graham. 

The  history  of  Arizona  is  replete  with  wonderful  achievement  and 
no  State  or  Territory  has  made  greater  progress  or  become  better 


W  H  0     S       \V  H  O 


known  during  the  past  two  decades.  General  attention  has  been 
more  intensely  directed  toward  it  since  its  admission  to  the  Union; 
hut  its  own  abundant  natural  resources  it  is  which  holds  the  atten- 
tion of  the  world,  no  matter  what  may  have  attracted  it  thither.  And 
now,  after  years  of  struggle  amidst  the  most  discouraging  circum- 
stances, Arizonans  are  in  possession  of  a  State  showing  illimitable 
promise  for  the  future;  a  State  that  is  really  a  wonderland  and  only 
in  its  infancy.  In  extent,  about  350  miles  from  New  Mexico  to 
California,  and  about  the  same  from  Old  Mexico  to  Utah,  and  having 
an  area  of  113,000  square  miles,  Arizona  ranks  sixth  in  size  among 
the  states  of  the  Union,  and  equals  in  area  England,  Scotland  and 
Ireland  combined. 

Arizona  has  a  diversity  of  altitudes,  and,  therefore,  furnishes  a 
variety  of  climates.  The  elevations  range  from  almost  sea  level  at 
Yuma  to  13,000  feet  upon  the  San  Francisco  mountains,  and  by 
making  suitable  changes  in  altitude  to  fit  the  season  it  is  possible  to 
enjoy  perpetual  spring.  While  there  is,  perhaps,  no  place  that  can 
boast  of  a  really  perfect  climate,  the  section  which,  like  Arizona,  can 
show  the  fewest  and  mildest  extremes  approaches  nearest  to  the  ideal. 
And  this  State,  being  exceptionally  favored  in  its  climatic  conditions, 
is  beneficial  to  the  majority  of  chronic  diseases. 

As  a  mineral  producing  State  Arizona  ranks  first  in  the  Union,  and 
its  mining  resources  as  a  whole  have  been  the  means  of  attracting 
vast  amounts  of  capital  for  development  purposes.  In  its  other  im- 
portant industries,  agriculture,  horticulture,  stock  raising  and  dairy- 
ing, its  advantages  are  unsurpassed,  yet  despite  its  marvelous  re- 
sources, Arizona  ranks  forty-sixth  in  point  of  population  in  the  Union, 
having  had,  according  to  the  census  of  1910,  about  205,000  inhab- 
itants, the  number  being  now  estimated  at  close  to  250,000.  Though 
it  is  a  land  of  bright  sunshine  and  bright  prospects,  and  one  of  the 
fastest  growing  communities  in  the  United  States,  its  great  need  is 
people  who  can  and  will  do  things.  And  it  is  attracting  them — men 
of  every  class  of  life — the  capitalist,  the  high  salaried  man  and  the 
laborer.  It  had  not  been  decreed  that  Arizona  submit  to  the  domi- 
nation of  one  industry,  but  endowed  by  nature  with  manifold  riches 
in  mineral  form  and  agricultural  possibilities  that  are  rarely  excelled, 
the  field  is  ample  for  capital  and  labor,  and  the  demand  for  workers 
in  every  occupation  is  great.  She  has,  therefore,  much  to  offer  to  the 
newcomer. 

In  the  production  of  copper  Arizona  leads  the  world,  and  no  other 
copper  field  has  shown  such  heavy  increase  in  production  during  the 
past  decade,  or  has  brighter  prospects  for  the  future  in  the  develop- 
ment of  the  illimitable  copper  deposits  not  yet  touched.  So  in  this 
field  alone  there  is  the  constant  inducement  to  men  of  ability  and 
means,  men  who  can  afford  to  increase  the  great  producing  power 
of  the  State  by  the  further  development  of  this  great  resource,  whose

coming  of  itself  necessitates  an  increased  demand  for  the  salaried  offi- 
cial and  the  laboring  man.  Mining  as  an  industry  began  more  than 
fifty  years  ago.  At  a  number  of  points  throughout  the  State,  how- 
ever, there  are  evidences  of  rude  operations  in  mining  by  prehistoric 
people,  although  no  traces  of  smelting  have  been  found,  and  had 
the  copper  ores  been  reduced  in  those  days  the  slags  and  possible  rem- 
nants of  the  furnaces  could  scarcely  have  escaped  attention.  The 
first  copper  smelter  in  the  State,  built  of  adobe  bricks,  is  said  to  have 
been  located  at  the  Ajo  mines  in  Yuma  County,  and  to  have  been 
operated  about  1852.  In  the  early  days  of  the  industry  silver  was 
first  mined  and  gold  was  found  in  paying  quantities  in  many  districts, 
but  of  late  years  attention  has  been  directed  mainly  to  copper  mining. 
Much  of  the  copper  mined  today  has  a  paying  percentage  of  gold  and 
silver.  There  are  certain  of  the  great  copper  mines  of  Ari- 
zona with  which  nearly  every  one  is  familiar  through  frequent  ref- 
erences to  them  in  the  newspapers  of  the  United  States,  as  well  as  in 
the  financial  and  mining  journals,  whose  owTiers  reap  almost  fabu- 
lous rewards.  Notable  among  these  are  the  Copper  Queen,  Shattuck- 
Arizona  and  the  Calumet  &  Arizona  mines  at  Bisbee ;  the  Old  Domin- 
ion, Inspiration  and  Miami  mines  in  the  Globe-Miami  District ;  the 
United  Verde  at  Jerome;  the  Detroit  Copper  Mining  Company  of 
Arizona,  the  Arizona  Copper  Company,  Ltd.,  and  the  Shan- 
non Copper  Company  in  the  Clifton-Morenci  district,  and  the  Ray 
Consolidated  Mine  at  Ray.  These  are  the  great  ore  producers 
of  Arizona,  and  number  their  monthly  production  by  the  million 
pounds.  They  employ  thousands  of  men  in  their  mines,  con- 
centrators and  smelters.  Their  pay  rolls  run  into  millions  of 
dollars  annually,  and  they  furnish  the  basis  for  large  commercial 
and  industrial  enterprises.  These  mines  pay  a  heavy  share  of  the 
State's  taxes,  are  one  of  its  greatest  sources  of  wealth,  and  a  huge 
factor  in  its  progress.  Producing,  in  addition,  such  precious  stones 
as  garnet,  opal,  sapphire  and  turquoise,  a  high  grade  of  marble  and 
exquisite  onyx,  which  are  found  in  the  mountains;  great  stores  of 
granite,  limestone,  tufa,  sandstone  and  other  building  materials, 
Arizona  may  truly  be  reckoned  the  wrorld's  greatest  mineral  de- 
pository. 

To  the  farmer  or  fruit  raiser  Arizona  can  offer  conditions  nearly 
perfect — soil,  warmth  and  moisture;  and  for  the  latter,  owing  to 
the  provisions  made  by  irrigation,  he  is  not  compelled  to  trust  to  the 
clouds,  but  can  truly  reduce  his  \vork  to  a  science.  The  value  of 
Nature's  gifts — a  mild  and  extremely  healthful  climate,  a  soil  of 
exceeding  fertility  lying  in  broad  valleys,  almost  ready  for  the  plow, 
and  a  ready  market  for  all  ranch  and  orchard  products — has  been 
greatly  enhanced  by  the  development  of  the  water  supply,  for  many 
years  one  of  the  most  absorbing  problems  with  which  the  people  of 
Arizona  had  to  deal.  Water  is  being  developed  for  irrigation  pur- 


IN      ARIZONA 


poses  through  both  private  and  government  enterprises,  and  thou- 
sands of  acres  of  land  are  being  reclaimed  from  the  desert  and 
rendered  incomparably  productive.  After  years  of  doubt  and  pro- 
crastination the  national  lawmakers  have  recognized  Arizona's  possi- 
bilities and  requirements;  have  realized  that  the  cultivation  of  the 
soil  is  practicable  everywhere,  dependent  upon  the  securing  of  water, 
and,  stimulated  by  an  appreciation  of  this  fact,  the  Reclamation  Ser- 
vice has  given  much  attention  to  its  arid  districts  and  constructed 
mighty  dams  for  the  conserving  and  utilizing  of  the  water  resources 
of  the  State. 

On  the  Salt  River,  above  Phoenix,  the  Roosevelt  Dam,  a  marvel 
of  modern  engineering,  is  part  of  the  vast  work  of  the  Reclamation 
Service.  It  is  one  of  the  world's  greatest  reservoirs  and  holds  in 
storage  the  water  with  which  over  two  hundred  thousand  acres  of 
land  can  be  irrigated,  most  of  it  by  gravity  and  the  remaining  por- 
tion by  pumping.  On  the  Colorado  River,  above  Yuma,  is  Laguna 
Dam,  an  Indian  weir  dam  identical  in  type  with  that  on  the  River 
Nile  at  Assouan,  and  a  diversion,  rather  than  a  storage  dam,  which 
controls  the  flood  waters  of  the  Colorado  River.  As  it  was  found 
practicable  to  have  the  main  canal  on  the  California  side,  an  im- 
mense siphon  has  been  built  of  steel  and  concrete  beneath  the  bed 
of  the  river,  to  carry  the  water  from  the  main  canal  to  the  lands 
of  the  Yuma  Valley.  The  Colorado,  thus  diverted,  furnishes  water 
for  approximately  90,000  acres  in  its  valley,  most  of  which  can  be 
irrigated  by  gravity.  The  Gila  River  empties  into  the  Colorado 
from  the  east  just  above  Yuma,  and  on  the  triangle  formed  by  the 
junction  of  the  two,  about  20,000  acres  are  watered  by  a  flow  diverted 
to  ditches  from  the  Arizona  end  of  the  Laguna  Dam.  Then,  too, 
excellent  opportunities  are  offered  by  the  Santa  Cruz,  San  Pedro, 
Verde  and  Agua  Fria  Rivers  for  storage  and  irrigation  projects. 
The  water  supply  from  all  sources  for  irrigating  purposes  in  the 
State  is  estimated  at  about  5,000,000  acre  feet,  or  sufficient  to  in- 
tensively cultivate  1,000,000  acres  of  land.  In  addition  to  this,  ar- 
tesian water  has  been  discovered  in  abundance  at  various  places,  in 
the  Gila  and  Verde  Valleys,  and  at  St.  David  and  Sulphur  Springs; 
more  will  be  sought  and  found  and  the  number  of  acres  now  yielding 
marvelous  crops  will  be  increased  ten-fold. 

With  this  increase  in  the  area  of  irrigable  lands  has  come  a  pro- 
portionate growth  in  the  knowledge  of  possibilities.  Fruit  raisers 
and  farmers  are  beginning  to  truly  appreciate  the  possibilities  of  their 
land,  and  to  direct  their  efforts  in  accordance  with  this  new  under- 
standing. With  a  climate  and  soil  adapted  to  the  growing  of  every 
variety  of  citrus  and  deciduous  fruit  known  to  the  temperate  and 
semi-tropical  zones,  Arizona  would  appear  to  offer  all  the  opportunity 
a  progressive  horticulturist  might  desire  for  success  and  the  acquire- 
ment of  wealth,  but  when  one  realizes  that  in  Southern  Arizona  fruits

ripen  from  two  to  eight  weeks  earlier  than  elsewhere  in  the  Union, 
the  possibilities  of  this  avenue  of  industry  appear  in  their  true  light, 
and  Arizona  to  much  greater  advantage.  The  same  may  be  truly  said 
of  almost  every  variety  of  vegetable,  many  of  which  are  available 
every  day  in  the  year. 

During  the  past  year  at  the  International  Dry  Farming  Congress 
held  at  Lethbridge,  Canada,  fifty-one  premiums  were  taken  by  this 
State  in  a  competition  in  which  were  entered  fourteen  States  and 
seventeen  foreign  countries,  and  this  despite  the  fact  that  a  great  part 
of  the  material  shipped  for  entry  was  unfit  for  exhibition  upon  arrival 
because  it  had  been  packed  before  properly  matured.  The  entire  ex- 
hibit was  from  dry  farms  in  Yavapai,  Navajo  and  Cochise  Counties, 
Yavapai  having  taken  a  majority  of  the  prizes  secured.  At  the  First 
State  Fair  held  at  Phoenix  in  the  fall  of  1912,  Yavapai  County  had 
a  display  of  more  than  two  hundred  varieties  of  the  finest  apples, 
pears,  peaches,  quinces,  grapes  and  plums  ever  shown  in  the  South- 
west. 

The  supreme  advantage  of  the  Arizona  farmer  is  his  home  market, 
for  the  number  of  thriving  towns  and  mining  camps  where  agricul- 
ture is  not  carried  on,  all  of  which  are  easily  accessible,  create  a  de- 
mand for  farm  and  orchard  products,  thereby  enabling  the  farmer 
to  dispose  of  his  stock  to  advantage  without  the  necessity  of  sharing 
his  profits  with  the  middleman.  Experimental  stations  established 
and  conducted  by  the  University  of  Arizona  and  the  United  States 
Department  of  Agriculture  are  demonstrating  constantly  the  possi- 
bilities of  this  irrigated  soil  by  the  production  of  wondrous  crops, 
wrhich,  maturing  earlier  than  in  other  sections,  and  possessing  a  su- 
perior flavor,  prove  highly  remunerative. 

The  live  stock  industry  in  Arizona  is  exceeded  in  importance  only 
by  mining  and  agriculture.  Cattle  growing  ranks  first  and  sheep 
growing  next,  and  some  of  the  ablest,  keenest  and  wealthiest  of 
her  citizens  are  men  who  have  attained  to  their  present  position  from 
humble  beginnings  in  these  pursuits. 

In  transportation  facilities  Arizona  is  well  to  the  front,  having 
within  its  limits  more  than  two  thousand  miles  of  railroad,  consist- 
ing of  great  trunk  lines,  branch  lines  connecting  all  the  important 
cities  and  mining  camps,  and  intimate  connection  with  Mexican 
business.  The  first  railroad  to  build  through  the  State  was  the 
Southern  Pacific,  which  entered  from  the  west  at  Yuma  in  1878,  and 
extends  across  the  southern  portion.  The  Atlantic  &  Pacific,  now  a 
portion  of  the  Santa  Fe,  was  built  five  years  later.  Next  in  impor- 
tance is  the  El  Paso  &  Southwestern,  with  lines  now  reaching  many 
of  the  important  cities,  one  into  Tucson  recently  opened,  and  others 
building. 

Usually  in  new  countries  the  building  of  a  railroad  is  preceded  by 


12  \v  no's     \v  H  o 

the  building  of  towns  which  make  necessary  some  regular  means  of 
transportation  for  freight  and  passengers,  hut  here  the  reverse  was  the 
order,  and  the  railroads  were  built  simply  in  a  desire  to  connect  the 
States  to  the  east  with  those  to  the  west,  before  the  public  had 
awakened  to  the  fact  that  Arizona  had  before  it  a  great  commercial 
future  and  that  as  a  result  of  the  development  of  its  extraordinary 
resources  the  territory  would  one  day  be  dotted  with  thriving  cities. 
Now  practically  every  producing  center  is  off  the  main  lines  of  trans- 
portation, which  lead  through  the  least  desirable  sections  of  the  State, 
and  so  a  score  or  more  of  small,  independent  roads  have  been  built 
connecting  some  of  the  important  centers  of  industry  and  population 
with  the  transcontinental  lines.  The  one  general  disadvantage  of 
this  condition  is  the  inaccuracy  of  public  opinion  regarding  the 
State's  industries  and  attractions,  for  not  even  a  favorable  idea  of  its 
diversity  of  resources  and  aggregate  of  wealth  could  possibly  be 
formed  by  the  man  whose  knowledge  of  the  State  is  gained  through 
observation  from  a  passing  train.  Commonly,  the  summing  up  of  the 
passerby  is  the  superficial  impression  he  receives  of  glaring,  hot  sun- 
shine, desert  and  cactus,  rather  than  of  thriving  cities,  grazing  herds 
and  productive  fields  or  mines.  Much,  therefore,  must  be  done  in 
the  way  of  publicity  to  eradicate  this  erroneous  impression  regarding 
Arizona,  which  is  all  too  prevalent  among  the  disinterested,  with 
whom  an  impression  thus  received  is  lasting  if  dependent  upon  any 
effort  of  their  own  for  its  removal.  Much  has  already  been  done 
in  a  direct  way  by  charmed  newcomers  for  a  temporary  stay,  whether 
business,  health-seeking  or  pleasure,  who,  meeting  with  conditions  as 
they  really  are,  feel  only  too  glad  to  be  able  to  herald  the  news  of 
their  good  fortune  to  their  friends,  but  this  form  of  publicity,  while 
very  effective,  is  not  very  far  reaching.  Much  is  being  done  in  a  gen- 
eral way  by  alert  and  businesslike  Chambers  of  Commerce  and  Com- 
mercial Clubs  of  the  various  sections  by  means  of  specially  prepared 
advertising  matter,  yet,  this  being  one  instance  where  distance  does 
not  lend  enchantment  to  the  view,  their  efforts  in  that  respect  when 
read  two  or  three  thousand  miles  away,  will  doubtless  meet  with 
some  depreciation  from  their  home  value,  which  is  one  result  of  the 
unfavorable  impression  previously  formed  regarding  Arizona's  un- 
inviting aspect.  And  so  the  matter  of  publicity  of  the  State's  actual 
advantages,  material  and  otherwise,  necessitates  eternal  vigilance, 
lest  an  opportunity  for  enlightenment  be  allowed  to  slip  by  without 
leaving  its  footprints  in  the  sands. 

Yet  this  campaign  of  publicity  persistently  employed  will  succeed, 
and  a  constant  growth  of  population  by  immigration  from  the  East 
will  ensue,  now  that  the  State's  greatest  lack,  a  dearth  of  water  to 
insure  vegetation,  has  been  magnificently  overcome  by  irrigation,  and 
her  greatest  foe,  the  dreaded  Apache,  has  been  subdued.  Of  the 
Apache,  the  following,  written  nearly  forty  years  ago  by  one  of 


\V  H  0      S       VV  H  O 


Arizona's  ardent  admirers,  has  proven  prophetic,  and  Arizona  has 
been  "found  to  he  the  very  treasure  house  of  this  great  Republic": 
"Indeed,  experience  seems  to  have  demonstrated  that  the 
Apaches  can  neither  be  Christianized  nor  civilized.  They  are 
the  one  tribe  who  refused  to  receive  the  cross  from  good  old 
Father  Kino  in  1670,  nor  have  they  accepted  it  since  that  time, 
and  I  am  confident  their  history  will  warrant  the  assertion  that 
until  they  are  completely  exterminated  the  fertile  valleys  of 
Arizona  will  never  wave  with  golden  grain,  her  beautiful  up- 
lands be  covered  with  lowing  cattle,  her  vast  alkali  plains  be 
utilized,  her  lofty  mountain  peaks  echo  the  hoarse  whistle  of  the 
silver  smelting  furnace,  or  the  smoke  ascend  from  the  hearth- 
stones of  a  happy  and  prosperous  people.  Never,  until  then,  will 
the  great  mineral  wealth  of  the  territory  be  properly  developed, 
her  rocky  fastnesses  thoroughly  explored,  her  rich  gold  placers 
worked,  and  the  precious  stones  that  now  lie  unsought  among 
the  rough  pebbles  of  her  mountain  streams  be  brought  to  yield 
their  lustrous  beauty  for  the  adornment  of  her  fair  daughters. 
When  this  has  been  accomplished,  I  have  no  doubt  but  Arizona 
will  be  found  to  be  the  very  treasure  house  of  this  great  Re- 
public." 

And  for  the  benefit  of  those  upon  whom  Arizona's  real  significance 
has  not  yet  been  impressed,  to  wrhom  the  word  implies  nothing  more 
than  a  wide  stretch  of  arid  waste,  or  at  best,  of  semi-civilization— 
and  they  are  more  numerous  throughout  the  East  than  most  of  us 
realize  —  let  us  say  that  the  traveler  here  will  find  everywhere  as 
high  a  state  of  civilization  and  intelligence  —  even  culture  —  and  as 
well  developed  a  system  of  society  as  any  State  in  the  Union  can 
boast  of,  and  in  which  education,  religion  and  government  are  making 
constant  and  exceptional  strides.  With  a  splendid  and  rapidly 
growing  State  University  at  Tucson,  having  a  School  of  Mines;  thor- 
oughly equipped  and  well  conducted  Normal  Schools  at  Tempe  and 
Flagstaff;  excellent  public  schools  throughout,  even  in  districts  hav- 
ing but  a  few  children  ;  and  high  schools  in  all  the  important  towns, 
one  can  not  doubt  that  the  facilities  for  education  are  ample.  And 
it  can  be  truthfully  said  that  there  are  few  better  systems,  thanks 
to  the  sincere  and  successful  efforts  of  the  pioneer  educators  and  to 
the  highly  efficient  corps  engaged  in  educational  work  at  present. 
The  University  offers  at  a  minimum  cost  all  the  leading  branches  of 
study  to  be  found  in  any  up-to-date  curriculum,  while  its  mining 
and  industrial  courses  are  most  practical  and  thorough.  That  Ari- 
zona in  an  educational  way  reaches  the  standard  of  other  States  is 
shown  by  statistics,  which  prove  that  among  the  English  speaking 
population  the  proportion  of  illiterates  is  very  low. 

Since  the  early  days  of  the  white  people  here  the  history  of  most  of 
the   churches   has   been   one   of   accomplishment   and    progress.      The 


INARIZONA  15 

Catholics,  who  were  the  first  comers  and  established  here  the  out- 
posts of  their  religion,  are  the  strongest,  having  churches  in  all  towns 
of  any  size,  convents  and  schools  in  larger  towns,  and  a  school  for 
the  Papago  Indians.  There  are  also  creditable  church  edifices  of 
practically  all  denominations,  and  the  Methodists,  Presbyterians, 
Baptists  and  Episcopalians  have  zealous  organizations  in  every  city 
and  town,  and  regular  services  in  nearly  all  communities  of  consider- 
able number  and  stability.  The  Presbyterians  have  several  churches 
among  the  Indians,  and  a  school  at  Tucson  erected  at  a  cost  of 
$100,000.  The  Methodists,  too,  have  erected  a  church  among  the 
Yuma  Indians.  There  are,  in  addition,  various  churches  for  the 
negroes  and  Spanish  missions  at  several  places,  all  of  which  depict 
their  intense  loyalty  to  the  spirit  of  evangelism  and  represent  a  strong 
force  for  good  in  their  respective  communities.  In  other  districts, 
where  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints  are  in  the 
majority,  their  habits  of  thrift,  industry  and  thoroughness  have  in- 
delibly impressed  their  mark  upon  the  section.  Especially  is  this  true 
of  Thatcher,  where  they  have  an  academy,  in  which,  while  a  church 
institution  and  primarily  a  theological  school,  non-members  are  re- 
ceived for  the  commercial  and  high  school  courses,  wTith  no  regard 
whatever  to  sectarian  teaching. 

But  in  other  ways  also  has  educational  progress  manifested  itself; 
by  means  of  Women's  Clubs,  with  able  women  at  their  heads;  active 
and  progressive  civic  organizations,  alert  Commercial  Clubs  and 
Chambers  of  Commerce  and  Boards  of  Trade,  Y.  M.  C.  A.'s  with 
departments  for  instruction  in  various  lines,  and  through  its  half  a 
hundred  newspapers,  about  twenty  of  which  are  dailies,  is  Arizona 
forging  ahead  in  matters  of  general  and  specific  importance. 

Arizona  has  not  attained  to  its  present  standards  from  the  primi- 
tive conditions  of  early  days  without  supreme  effort  on  the  part  of 
the  sturdy  pioneers  who,  made  strong  by  adversity,  and  inured  to 
hardihood  and  sacrifice,  came  to  represent  in  themselves  a  class  with- 
out whose  daring  to  attempt  and  power  to  achieve  the  State  could 
never  have  reached  its  present  high  plane.  While  the  early  pioneers 
are  rapidly  passing  away,  their  spirit  of  bravery,  persistence  and  iron 
will  is  yet  characteristic  of  the  citizenship  of  the  State,  both  in  their 
descendants  and  in  the  men  who  came  later  willing  to  risk  the  vicissi- 
tudes of  life  in  the  thinly  populated  Territory,  and  who  have  done 
their  part  in  the  molding  of  the  forty-eighth  State.  There  are  still 
prospectors,  too,  zealous  as  of  old,  whose  ambitions  and  efforts  have 
accomplished  so  much  ;  but  to  the  men  who  have  made  mining  the 
great  industry  it  now  is,  to  the  corporations  operating  mines  and 
smelters  in  the  most  modernly  scientific  manner,  and  building  about 
them  up-to-date  cities  and  towns  with  home,  educational  and  many  of 
the  other  advantages  of  eastern  cities,  much  of  Arizona's  rapid  de- 
velopment in  recent  years  must  be  attributed.

Possessing  the  best  natural  roads  in  the  United  States,  Arizona 
has  also  an  enthusiastic  Good  Roads  Association,  through  whose  ef- 
forts provision  has  been  made  for  a  system  of  state  highways  which 
will  bring  the  different  portions  of  the  State's  area  into  the  most  in- 
timate relation.  Plans  have  been  made  for  a  highway  extending 
from  north  to  south,  running  through  the  capital  city  and  having 
laterals  reaching  to  every  county  seat  and  to  the  borders  of  the  ad- 
joining States,  there  to  connect  with  the  Ocean  to  Ocean  Highway. 
These  roads  should  assuredly  be  a  valuable  adjunct  in  State  improve- 
ment, as  they  will  encourage  closer  relationship  in  business  affairs 
and  thereby  develop  trade ;  prove  a  tempting  invitation  to  all  those 
wrho  have  a  desire  to  see  America's  most  interesting  section  and 
thereby  increase  travel  for  pleasure;  make  feasible  comfortable  auto- 
mobile tours  to  the  various  points  of  interest,  the  Grand  Canyon  of 
the  Colorado,  the  Painted  Desert,  Petrified  Forest,  Ice  Caves,  Lava 
Beds,  Sunset  Crater,  Moqui  Indian  Villages,  Prehistoric  Ruins,  Cliff 
Dwellings  and  Montezuma  Wells ;  and  bring  within  easy  reach  of 
sightseers  those  missions  and  ruins  of  early  times  which  add  to  the 
State's  many  other  charms  that  of  antiquity. 

They  wrill  also  make  comparatively  easy  of  access  hundreds  of 
camping  grounds  in  the  picturesque  valleys  of  the  Colorado,  Chiquito, 
Oak  Creek  and  Verde  Rivers,  where  excellent  trout  fishing  is  to  be 
found  ;  while  the  forests  of  the  Mogollon,  Santa  Catalina  and  White 
Mountains,  which  contain  an  abundance  of  game,  will  be  the  more 
readily  accessible  Mecca  of  the  huntsman.  In  fact,  the  number  and 
variety  of  interesting  tours  which  they  will  make  possible  within  the 
State  can  hardly  be  equaled  in  any  similar  area. 

Primarily,  life  in  Arizona  will  impress  the  newcomer  with  its 
liberality  and  lack  of  the  artificial,  and  its  recognition  and  apprecia- 
tion of  desirable  personal  qualities.  Here  merit  has  more  weight 
than  money,  and  cordiality,  to  a  greater  extent  than  in  most  places, 
forms  the  basis  of  the  social  structure.  Populations  are  more  cos- 
mopolitan than  ordinarily  found,  and  composed  largely  of  people  who 
have  acquired,  through  travel  and  wide  experience,  a  broad  and  com- 
prehensive view  of  life,  and  to  be  accepted  one  must  be  likable,  loyal 
to  his  resident  city,  and  have  virtues  as  well  as  ancestors. 

Its  social  life,  too,  has  many  phases.  In  the  cities  there  are  ever 
the  formal  and  elaborate  functions  quite  in  accordance  with  the 
customs  of  older  and  larger  places,  while  Country  Clubs,  with  ample 
provision  for  indoor  and  outdoor  diversion — whether  it  be  dancing, 
lunching,  tennis  or  golf — are  the  boast  of  the  larger  cities.  There  are 
also  spacious  halls  and  theaters  which  provide  other  modes  of  en- 
tertainment. And  everywhere  climate  and  circumstances  favor  out- 
door recreation,  which  materially  adds  to  the  charm  of  life.  To  a 
recent  arrival  one  of  the  most  novel  and  refreshing  forms  of  recrea- 
tion afforded  by  many  of  the  localities  is  the  possibility  in  midwinter,

of  comfortably  spending  a  day  in  riding,  driving  or  automobiling 
with  none  of  the  rigors  of  an  eastern  winter  to  be  endured,  but  in 
constant  enjoyment  of  an  atmosphere  as  pleasing  to  the  eye  as  it  is 
invigorating  to  the  body,  a  striking  feature  of  the  country,  where 
over  all  the  landscape  hangs  a  veil  of  soft  purple  haze  which  gives 
to  the  scene  a  mysterious,  subtle  quality. 

With  the  beautiful,  as  with  the  material,  Nature  has  been  not 
only  liberal,  but  lavish,  to  Arizona,  for  nowhere  else  on  the  conti- 
nent are  the  skies  more  soft,  the  air  more  clear,  the  stars  more 
bright,  or  the  moon  so  radiantly  beautiful.  And  nowhere  are  the 
sun's  rays  more  potent  for  good  to  human  and  plant  life,  or  the 
sunsets  afford  more  pleasure  to  even  the  mildly  appreciative  eye. 

"When  the  God  of  Day  sinks  to  rest  behind  some  rugged 
mountain,  lighting  up  the  western  heavens  with  a  blaze  of  gold, 
and  pink,  and  crimson,  and  orange,  and  wrapping  the  jagged 
peaks  of  the  bare  and  forbidding  mountains  in  a  soft  and  dreamy 
haze  of  purple  and  violet ;  when  the  banks  of  clouds  around  the 
western  horizon  look  like  masses  of  burnished  gold  set  in  a  sea 
of  silver,  then  is  presented  a  picture  to  which  neither  pen  nor 
pencil  can  do  justice.  And  when  the  last  ray  has  disappeared 
and  the  western  sky  is  yet  blushing  with  the  mellow  radiance  of 
the  last  golden  caress,  the  stars  begin  to  peep  out  from  the  clear 
blue  canopy  and  in  a  short  time  the  vault  of  heaven's  dome  is  lit 
up  by  the  brilliant  beams  from  the  countless  creations  that  gem 
the  firmament." 

Not  more  at  variance  are  the  methods  of  access  to  the  State,  from 
the  days  of  the  old  timer  who  staged  it  in  to  the  present  day  mode 
of  travel  in  a  Pullman  car,  than  are  the  conditions  found  upon  ar- 
rival. In  contrast  with  the  deprivations  of  the  desert,  the  probable 
attack  of  the  Indian  and  the  other  perils  likely  to  be  encountered  by 
the  then  occupant  of  an  isolated  home,  the  newcomer  of  today  will 
find  in  various  sections  valleys  of  exceedingly  fertile  lands,  productive 
in  the  extreme ;  a  number  of  truly  modern  cities  such  as  Phoenix, 
Tucson,  Bisbee,  Prescott,  Douglas  and  Globe,  with  a  number  of  lesser 
towns  and  villages,  and  all  throughout  the  spirit  of  activity  that  be- 
tokens rapid  progress  and  the  development  of  a  commonwealth  im- 
pregnated with  unexcelled  possibilities.  With  such  conditions,  assured 
of  ample  reward,  the  progressive  and  energetic  citizens  of  Arizona 
are  impelled  to  put  forth  their  best  efforts,  whatever  may  be  the 
trend  of  their  endeavors. 

From  February,  1863,  to  February,  1912,  a  period  of  forty-nine 
years,  Arizona  remained  a  territory,  despite  years  of  patient  but 
unprofitable  effort  on  the  part  of  her  ablest  citizens,  whose  endeavors 
were  finally  rewarded  when  on  the  fourteenth  of  February,  1912, 
Arizona  was  admitted  to  statehood,  and  the  forty-eighth  star  was

versary and  the  following  day,  February  14  and  IS,  were  the  oc- 
casion of  an  elaborate  celebration  at  Phoenix.  On  Statehood  Day 
the  speakers  were  Vice  President-elect  Thomas  P.  Marshall,  Gov-

state's  leading  attorneys.

home  or  pleasure,  infinitely  increased  by  its  wondrous  devel-

admission  to  Statehood,  one  is  led  to  wonder  what  the  remaining  half 
of  its  first  century  may  mean  to  the  forty-eighth  State,  but  who  might

The  Salt  River  Valley 

By  Harry  Welsh,  Secretary  of  the  Phoenix  Board  of  Trade 

Now  is  Arizona  with  us.  A  sister  state  rich  in  opportunity  and 
eagerly  extending  the  hand  of  welcome  to  the  settler  who  is  looking 
for  ideal  conditions.  Mines  and  minerals,  timber  lands  and  great 
stock  ranges,  sheep  pastures  and  mountain  farms  all  offer  good  open- 
ings- 
Agricultural  Arizona  is  centered  chiefly  in  and  around  the  Salt 

River  Valley,  which  locality  historians  tell  was  once  the  home  of  an 
ancient  race  of  husbandmen  that  practiced  irrigation  and  built  great 
canal  systems  and  granaries.  Some  few  evidences  of  these  first  Ameri- 
cans remain  at  this  day;  the  lines  of  the  old  canal  systems  have  been 
found,  and  ditches  lined  with  a  natural  cement  are  laid  with  that 
accuracy  of  measurement  which  would  seem  impossible  without  the 
delicate  engineering  instruments  of  the  present  date.  Here  in  the 
Salt  River  Valley,  an  agricultural  paradise,  is  a  land  where  sunshine 
saturates  the  fields,  building  energy  and  hope ;  lifting  the  task  of  labor, 
where  smiling  skies  reflect  the  spirit  of  enthusiasm  born  of  health  and 
happiness. 

The  Salt  River  Valley  has  thousands  of  acres  of  soil,  than  which 
there  is  no  better  in  the  world.  Included  in  the  area  under  irrigation 
are  two  hundred  and  forty  thousand  acres  of  the  choicest  land.  The 
Salt  River  project  is  the  world's  premier  irrigation  system,  with  the 
great  Roosevelt  dam  as  the  backbone.  The  Salt  River  project,  it  is 
generally  conceded,  is  the  most  perfect  in  existence,  and  has  been  com- 
mended by  engineers  and  irrigation  authorities  who  have  journeyed 
east  and  west,  north  and  south,  from  far  off  Australia,  from  Russia, 
and  from  Egypt  to  examine  and  to  praise. 

Here  nothing  has  been  left  undone  to  make  the  lot  of  the  farmer 
more  pleasant  or  more  profitable.  Here  is  an  ideal  farming  commun- 
ity supplied  with  all  conditions  that  spell  success ;  where  soil  is  unex- 
celled, water  supply  guaranteed  by  government  works,  and  the  climate 
perfect  for  the  production  of  varied,  bountiful  and  profitable  crops. 

The  first  farmers  built  small  diversion  dams  on  the  Salt  River,  only 
to  see  them  washed  away  by  the  first  freshet  following  a  storm  in  the 
distant  mountains.  Plans  for  a  storage  dam  and  an  immense  reservoir 
were  not  dreamed  of  for  a  long  time,  but  it  was  eventually  realized 
that  a  system  wrhich  would  properly  care  for  the  particular  needs  of 
the  locality  must  be  very  large  and  very  exhaustive  in  its  operation. 
Government  aid  must  be  secured.  This  was  accomplished  by  the 
passage  of  the  Reclamation  Act,  and  the  work  of  constructing  the 
Salt  River  project  was  undertaken  as  soon  as  the  United  States  Recla- 
mation Service  was  organized. 

Many  sites  were  examined  and  one  about  75  miles  east  of  Phoenix 
selected.  Here  the  Tonto  Creek  and  the  Salt  River  enter  a  great

natural  basin,  and  then  together  flow  through  a  narrow  gorge  which 
was  found  to  be  admirably  adapted  to  the  construction  of  a  great 
dam.  So  Nature  was  found  ready  to  cooperate  in  this  great  work, 
but  her  cooperation  did  not  cease  after  providing  a  location.  Deposits 
of  shale  and  other  materials  necessary  to  make  a  fine  quality  of  cement 
were  found  close  by  the  damsite,  and  a  rock  suitable  for  use  in  the 
dam  itself  was  also  near  at  hand.  The  strata  of  the  rock  walls  of  the 
canyon  lie  at  an  angle  which  added  greater  strength  to  the  whole 
structure,  and  the  result  is  a  monolithic  mass  168  feet  thick  at  base 
and  rising  287  feet  from  the  river  bed,  the  whole  structure  being  set 
into  the  walls  of  the  canyon,  and  into  the  bed-rock  of  the  river,  a  dis- 
tance of  30  feet. 

The  dam  is  168  feet  through  at  the  base  and  tapers  to  a  width  of 
20  feet  at  the  top ;  the  length  of  the  dam  on  top  is  680  feet,  added  to 
which  are  two  spillways,  each  200  feet  long.  These  spillwrays  are 
spanned  by  splendid  concrete  bridges,  making  a  total  length  of  1080 
feet. 

Some  of  the  blocks  of  stone  weighed  30  tons  each,  and  each  rock, 
before  being  put  into  position,  was  washed  under  hydraulic  pressure, 
and  set  in  cement.  Back  of  this  gigantic  wall  the  water  from  the 
Tonto  Creek  and  Salt  River  is  held  in  check  in  a  lake  which  will 
cover  25  square  miles  in  area  and  contain  1,300,000  acre  feet  of  water, 
or  enough  to  cover  all  the  land  in  the  valley  under  irrigation  with 
water  five  feet  deep. 

The  two  streams  drain  a  great  section  of  country,  covering  over 
6260  square  miles.  This  immense  area  is  mostly  Forest  Reserve,  and 
has  an  elevation  varying  from  2000  feet  to  high  mountain  peaks,  which 
rise  11,500  feet  above  the  sea  level.  This  drainage  basin  insures  an 
unfailing  water  supply  to  fill  the  great  reservoir,  and  the  whole  area 
is  under  the  supervision  of  officials  and  protected. 

The  rainfall  in  this  area  supplying  the  Roosevelt  reservoir  has  been 
estimated  from  returns  made  for  25  years,  and  approximates  19.10 
inches  each  year. 

Here  in  the  mountains,  75  miles  from  Phoenix,  is  a  huge  body  of 
water  capable  of  floating  the  combined  Atlantic  and  Pacific  fleets. 
The  dam,  which  makes  this  lake  possible,  was  built  at  a  cost  of  $3,- 
500,000.  This  is  the  biggest  item  in  the  cost  of  the  Salt  River  Project, 
which  now  totals  about  $9,000,000. 

The  road  from  Phoenix  to  the  dam  is  through  a  wonderful  suc- 
cession of  mountains,  which  presents  an  ever-changing  array  of  colors 
and  forms.  The  ride  is  one  full  of  magnificent  surprises,  impressive  in 
the  extreme,  rivalling  famous  roads  and  drives  in  Europe,  and  without 
an  equal  in  this  country.  This  road  was  constructed  by  the  Reclama- 
tion Service,  is  traversed  by  automobiles  with  perfect  safety  and  ease, 
and  is  a  splendid  argument  to  further  the  cause  of  "See  America  first". 

The  water,  on  being  released  through  the  powrer  plants,  then  from 
the  reservoir,  journeys  down  the  river  to  the  Granite  Reef  Dam,

which  is  a  diversion  dam  1100  feet  long  and  38  feet  high.  This  enor- 
mous weir  is  also  built  of  masonry  and  cement,  and  serves  to  check  the 
flow  of  the  water  in  the  river,  diverting  the  same  into  the  main  canals 
on  the  north  and  south  banks  of  the  stream. 

These  canals  are  themselves  like  rivers.  The  main  canal  is  the 
"Arizona,"  having  a  width  of  72  feet  and  a  depth  of  eight  feet.  Over 
640  miles  of  canals  have  been  constructed  to  date.  This  system  in- 
cludes wherever  possible  the  development  of  electrical  power  from 
various  canals,  and  eventually,  when  all  of  the  plans  and  works  are 
completed,  there  will  be  27,000  horse  power  generated,  the  greater 
quantity  of  which  will  be  for  sale  to  outside  parties.  Some  of  it  is 
used  for  pumping  water  to  serve  lands  within  the  irrigation  project, 
but  the  power  that  will  be  sold  outside  will  bring  a  big  revenue 
annually. 

At  present  the  cities  of  Phoenix,  Mesa,  Glendale  and  Tempe  are 
supplied  with  power  from  the  project,  the  revenue  from  the  sale  to 
these  cities  going  to  defray  part  of  the  expense  of  constructing  the 
system. 

Lands  under  the  project  are  now  held  in  private  ownership,  and 
the  water  right  belongs  to  the  land  itself,  and  cannot  be  sold  apart 
from  the  land.  Every  land  owner  has  a  voice  in  the  conducting  of 
the  affairs  of  the  Water  Users'  Association,  which  will  control  the 
project  as  soon  as  it  is  turned  over  by  the  Reclamation  Service.  The 
Salt  River  Valley  Water  Users'  Association  will  be  one  of  the  largest 
cooperative  institutions  in  the  country;  not  only  will  it  control  the 
water  service  for  230,000  acres  of  land,  and  have  for  sale  several 
thousand  electrical  horsepower  each  year,  but  eventually  it  will  have 
water  to  sell  to  lands  outside  of  the  project,  thereby  adding  still  fur- 
ther to  its  revenue. 

The  land  to  be  irrigated  lies  in  a  compact  body.  The  area  that  will 
be  watered  will  cover  230,000  acres,  of  which  190,000  will  be  watered 
by  gravity  flow,  and  40,000  by  pumping.  At  this  time  about  160,000 
acres  are  in  cultivation,  and  the  remaining  70,000  acres  are  rapidly 
being  put  into  crops. 

The  soil  is  of  fine  quality  and  equal  to  any  to  be  found  in  the 
famous  garden  spots  of  the  world.  It  has  in  fact,  but  few  equals,  and 
its  superior  is  not  to  be  found  anywhere — not  even  in  the  Valley  of 
the  Nile,  the  "polders"  of  Holland  or  the  famous  "black  lands"  of 
Russia.  The  soil  material  is  the  result  of  erosion  from  the  surround- 
ing mountains,  together  with  quantities  of  silt  brought  down  by  rivers 
and  streams.  It  has  been  the  task  of  ages,  doubtless  hundreds  and 
thousands  of  years  required  to  build  up  the  great  level  plain  which  is 
now  the  valley  floor.  Out  of  this  level  the  encircling  ranges  rise  like 
cliffs  from  out  the  placid  surface  of  some  great  lake. 

The  silt  or  soil  is  easily  worked,  lending  itself  most  readily  to  farm- 
ing operations,  and  lies  in  an  almost  perfect  plane,  with  just  sufficient

fall  to  make  easy  the  operation  of  gravity  irrigation.  This  silt  contains 
in  great  measure  the  ingredients  required  for  successful  agriculture, 
and  the  soil  is  inexhaustible.  It  is  of  four  types,  gravelly  loam,  sandy 
loam,  Maricopa  loam  and  Glendale  loess.  The  gravelly  loam  is  the 
best  orange  land  and  is  closer  to  the  hills.  The  sandy  loam  has  a 
little  gravel,  less  than  ten  per  cent,  and  is  a  rich  and  easily  worked  soil. 
The  Maricopa  loam  is  a  heavier  quality  of  the  same  soil.  The  Glen- 
dale  loess  is  similar  to  the  Mississippi  valley  type  of  soil,  40%  is  silt 
and  25%  very  fine  sand.  This  is  highly  decomposed  material  and 
analysis  shows  much  lime,  potash  and  phosphoric  acid.  The  latter,  a 
most  valuable  constituent,  exists  here  in  the  surprising  proportion  of 
22-100%.  The  depth  of  the  soil  throughout  the  valley  is  generally 
very  marked.  Near  Glendale  the  silt  or  loess  type  of  soil  is  often 
one  hundred  feet  deep  ;  near  Phoenix,  borings  show  deposits  five  hun- 
dred feet  deep  without  rock,  while  further  east  1,300  feet  borings  end 
in  clay.  Here  are  240,000  acres  of  as  good  land  as  may  be  found  in 
any  one  country  in  the  world. 

With  this  splendid  soil  and  a  complete  system  of  irrigation  it  is  not 
surprising  that  there  are  to  be  found  in  the  valley  of  the  Salt  River 
conditions  which  are  present  in  many  countries  at  widely  separated 
points  throughout  the  world.  The  dates  of  Arabia  and  the  Soudan 
are  thriving  and  bearing  luscious  fruit;  the  orange,  lemon  and  grape- 
fruit rival  their  relatives  from  Florida;  cotton  thrives  and  gives  prom- 
ise of  a  crop  that  will  be  without  a  peer;  sugar  beets  yield  nineteen 
per  cent  of  saccharine  matter;  the  Rocky  Ford  type  of  cantaloupe  has 
developed  until  a  special  variety  is  produced  in  great  quantities  with 
splendid  success;  corn,  milo  maize,  kaffir  corn,  all  yield  with  more 
energy  than  in  their  native  lands;  the  broad  fields  of  alfalfa  return 
several  crops  each  year;  the  fig,  peach,  pear,  plum,  and  in  fact,  all 
varieties  of  fruit  trees  blossom  and  bear  with  big  returns.  Here  the 
ostrich  is  as  much  at  home  as  on  the  South  African  farm.  The  live 
stock  industry  can  be  operated  with  great  success.  It  requires  no  pro- 
tection further  than  a  little  shade,  as  cattle  and  horses  are  allowed 
to  run  in  green  fields  the  year  round.  They  require  no  shelter  in 
winter,  barns  are  unnecessary,  and  the  farmer  is  not  required  to  store 
up  feed  for  the  winter.  Sheep  graze  throughout  the  surrounding 
country,  and  are  brought  in  large  numbers  to  the  Salt  River  Valley 
for  shearing  and  fattening.  Conditions  for  dairying  are  ideal. 

The  valley  lies  under  a  half  tropical  sun,  insures  a  long  growing 
season  and  a  wide  range  of  products.  Here  a  man  does  not  grow 
what  he  must,  but  what  he  chooses  —  what  is  in  line  with  his  tastes, 
his  experience,  or  his  judgment.  As  has  been  shown,  some  things 
which  can  not  be  grown  elsewhere  on  the  continent  can  be  grown 
here,  and  some  things  can  be  grown  better  here  than  elsewhere,  as 
regards  both  quality  and  quantity. 

The  mistake  of  the  farmer  for  generations  has  been  to  think  more 
of  land  than  of  climate,  but  today  we  are  in  an  era  of  new  agricul-

ture.  We  see  the  wisdom  of  intensive  farming.  Fewer  acres  and 
better  tillage,  or  a  farm  of  moderate  size  under  skies  that  clothe  the 
fields  with  emerald  in  January  and  provide  something  for  the  market 
nearly  every  month  in  the  year  is  the  aim.  Here  are  to  be  seen  young 
beets  in  the  fields  the  last  of  January,  the  mowers  cutting  alfalfa  in 
the  middle  of  February,  the  cattle  feeding  in  December  on  fields  of 
barley,  the  rank  growth  of  which  must  be  kept  back.  The  natural 
conditions  make  life  comfortable  and  the  earning  of  one's  bread  easy. 

Favorable  as  the  climatic  conditions  are  for  agriculture,  they  are 
also  ideal  for  health.  The  dry,  clear  atmosphere  encourages  out-of- 
door  occupations.  People  live  more  in  the  open  owing  to  the  con- 
genial conditions  prevailing  most  of  the  year,  and  all  of  this  counts 
for  health,  vigor  and  active  life. 

The  average  temperature  for  the  spring  season  is  67.3  degrees;  for 
the  summer  87.3  degrees;  for  the  autumn  70.1  degrees,  and  for  the 
winter  52.1  degrees,  or  an  average  for  the  entire  year  of  69.4  degrees. 
Clear,  sunshiny  days  are  usual.  During  a  period  of  forty  years  the 
average  number  of  clear  days  each  year  has  reached  232,  partly  cloudy 
days  96,  cloudy  days  37,  and  the  same  number  of  rainy  days.  Of 
foggy  days  there  were  only  two  each  year.  During  the  same  period  of 
years  the  average  annual  rainfall  was  8.08  inches. 

In  the  heart  of  the  great  Salt  River  Valley,  centrally  situated  in 
the  area  irrigated  from  the  Roosevelt  Dam,  lies  the  city  of  Phoenix, 
the  capitol  city  of  Arizona,  and  the  busy  business  city  of  the  new  State. 
A  census  of  the  population  in  Phoenix  will  show  over  18,000  people, 
with  an  additional  5,000  in  the  suburbs  immediately  adjacent.  There 
are  20,000  people  who  are  supplied  with  mail  from  the  Phoenix  post- 
office,  and  by  the  five  rural  routes  which  are  supplied  from  the  city. 

The  growth  and  future  prosperity  of  the  city  are  assured  by  the 
immense  possibilities  of  this  body  of  230,000  acres  of  agricultural  land. 
Markets  for  the  produce  of  the  valley  are  found  in  the  mining  camps 
in  the  State,  and  much  is  shipped  throughout  the  country. 

Entering  the  valley  there  are  two  railroad  systems,  with  branches 
radiating  to  the  Southern  Pacific  main  line  at  Maricopa ;  to  the  Santa 
Fe  main  line  at  Ash  Fork,  to  Los  Angeles  by  way  of  Parker,  into  the 
Gila  valley  mining  section  to  the  eastward,  and  into  the  Buckeye 
valley  westward.  This  Gila  Valley-Buckeye  stretch  of  the  Southern 
Pacific  will  soon  be  connected  up  at  Yuma  and  San  Carlos  into  a 
main  line  for  the  road  through  Arizona  with  the  lowest  gradients  of 
any  transcontinental  line.  The  El  Paso  and  Southwestern  railroad 
system  has  surveyed  a  line  to  Phoenix  from  Benson  through  Tucson, 
and  will  start  work  this  year,  bringing  also  the  traffic  of  the  Port 
Lobos  road,  a  Santa  Fe  line,  to  tidewater  on  the  Gulf  of  California. 

It  is  a  beautiful  valley,  resplendent  under  the  unhindered  sun,  with 
great  fields  and  orchards,  set  in  a  frame  of  friendly  mountains,  red, 
brown,  purple  and  parti-colored  in  their  coverings.

I  N      A  R  I  Z  O  N  A 


Tucson  and  Pima  County 

By  John  F.  Myers,  Secretary  of  the  Tucson  Chamber  of  Commerce 

The  story  of  the  development  and  growth  of  Tucson  from  an  old 
desert  pueblo  to  what  has  been  very  aptly  termed  "The  livest-big- 
little  city  in  the  Southwest,"  is  a  story  worthy  of  a  master's  telling. 
From  the  establishment  of  the  San  Xavier  Del  Bac  Mission  in  1687 
to  the  coming  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad  in  1878,  it  was  a 
typical  frontier  town.  Unprotected  from  the  ravages  of  the  Apaches 
and  other  tribes  until  the  establishment  of  Fort  Lowell  in  1866,  it 
offered  but  small  inducements  to  the  settler,  but  upon  the  completion 
of  the  railroad  came  first  the  miner  and  prospector,  then  the  shop- 
keeper, and  finally,  hearing  in  some  way  of  the  wonderful  healing 
qualities  of  the  climate,  the  health  seeker  and  tourist.  The  miner 
discovered  an  immense  resource,  and  capital  built  great  smelters,  until 
Tucson  became  the  center  of  the  world's  richest  copper  mining  sec- 
tion. The  tourist  and  health-seeker  came  to  be  the  resident,  built 
homes,  hotels  and  business  blocks,  and  today  we  have  a  modern-  up- 
to-date  city  of  more  than  20,000;  a  city  of  homes  and  schools  and 
churches,  a  city  of  business  houses,  progressive  and  growing. 

These  forces  have  given  the  city  a  splendid  foundation,  and  made 
possible  its  wonderful  growth  into  the  city  of  today  from  a  town  of 
little  more  than  1,000  in  1900.  But  1912  has  seen  the  development 
of  another  great  resource,  sufficient  water  to  irrigate  thousands  of 
acres  of  arable  land  tributary  to  the  city,  and  the  birth  of  a  new  era. 
Tucson  will  soon  have  an  agricultural  back  country  capable  of  sup- 
porting a  great  population  and  making  it  a  power  in  the  development 
of  the  Southwest.  And  all  because  one  man  dreamed  of  such  a  possi- 
bility, believed  in  his  dream  and  fought  for  it.  To  his  belief  and  work 
is  due  the  coming  of  the  Tucson  Farms  Company,  and  its  develop- 
ment work — the  clearing,  irrigating  and  placing  under  cultivation  of 
more  than  6,000  acres  in  the  Santa  Cruz  Valley.  This  is  but  the 
beginning  of  an  extensive  agricultural  development,  for  other  com- 
panies are  now  in  the  field  doing  a  similar  work. 

Commercially,  Tucson  is  located  on  the  main  trunk  line  of  the 
Southern  Pacific,  at  the  end  of  a  division,  and  is  the  present  western 
terminus  of  the  El  Paso  &  Southwestern  System.  It  is  also  the 
northern  terminus  of  the  great  railway  system  now  pushing  down 
the  West  Coast  of  Mexico  under  the  direction  of  the  Southern  Pa- 
cific, connecting  Tucson  with  the  Mexican  seaports  of  Guaymas  and 
Mazatlan,  and  destined  to  reach  Guadalajara,  and  thence  by  the 
National  line  to  the  City  of  Mexico. 

Politically,  it  is  the  official  seat  of  Pima  County,  a  county  rich  in 
mines  and  in  grazing  and  agricultural  lands,  the  area  of  which  is 
equal  to  that  of  Massachusetts  and  Rhode  Island  combined.

The  strength  of  the  city  is  in  the  network  of  railroads  reaching  east 
and  west  and  south.  Here  is  the  division  headquarters  of  the  South- 
ern Pacific's  Sunset  Route  and  its  repair  shops  and  army  of  employes, 
and  also  the  general  offices  of  the  Arizona  Eastern  Railway  and  of  the 
Southern  Pacific's  Mexican  West  Coast  Lines. 

The  short,  direct  line  from  Tucson  to  Nogales  places  Tucson  in  a 
strategic  position,  making  it  the  gateway  to  that  vast  fertile  region 
lying  along  the  West  Coast  of  Mexico,  which  is  now  being  opened 
to  settlement  by  Americans  by  the  construction  of  the  Southern  Pa- 
cific's road  down  through  Sonora  and  across  the  broad  valleys  of  the 
Yaqui  and  Mayo  Rivers. 

In  addition  to  this  the  El  Paso  &  Southwestern  has  now  built  into 
Tucson  from  Benson,  connecting  Tucson  with  the  mining  towns  of 
Bisbee  and  Douglas  and  the  prosperous  commercial  city  of  El  Paso, 
Texas.  It  is  headed  westward,  and  will  connect  Phoenix  and  Yuma 
with  Tucson,  while  it  has  projected  a  spur  to  the  rich  mineral  fields 
in  the  Santa  Catalina  Mountains  north  of  the  city,  and  a  road  from 
Sasco  west  of  Tucson,  to  Port  Lobos  on  the  Gulf  of  California.  This 
would  make  a  fertile  country  in  the  extreme  southwest  tributary  to 
this  city  and  add  another  and  shorter  route  to  the  Mexican  Coast,  the 
one  actually  in  operation  being  the  Southern  Pacific  line  to  Guaymas 
and  Mazatlan. 

Mining  assets  include  not  only  the  mines  of  Pima  and  Santa  Cruz 
Counties,  but  largely  of  Pinal  and  Cochise  counties  and  of  part  of 
New  Mexico  and  the  Mexican  state  of  Sonora.  This  district  is  per- 
haps the  richest  copper  mining  district  in  the  world.  The  opening  of 
the  plant  of  the  Pioneer  Smelting  Company  early  in  1912  has 
caused  a  resumption  of  operations  in  the  Helvetia,  Mineral  Hill  and 
Twin  Buttes  districts  and  the  development  of  other  properties,  and 
has  brought  $40,000  per  month  net  into  Pima  County  and  Tucson. 
A  great  variety  of  copper  ore  is  found  in  the  county,  and  gold,  silver, 
zinc,  tungsten,  lead  and  galena  are  produced  here.  The  trade  of  the 
city  in  mining  machinery  and  supplies  of  many  kinds  extends  over  a 
large  area  on  both  sides  of  the  international  boundary. 

The  Cattle  Industry  is  one  of  the  large  resources  of  the  county, 
and  the  value  of  range  cattle  shipped  from  Tucson  in  a  single  year 
has  exceeded  $900,000. 

The  county  has  always  been  famous  for  the  abundance  and  quality 
of  its  beef  cattle.  This  is  due  to  the  great  area  of  grazing  lands  and 
to  the  nutritious  and  highly  flavored  wild  grasses  of  the  mountain 
slopes,  which  impart  a  sweetness  and  flavor  to  beef  unattainable  by 
fattening  in  the  stall  or  even  upon  alfalfa. 

Tucson  is  the  chief  educational  center  of  the  state,  owying  to  the 
location  here  of  the  University  of  Arizona,  with  its  score  of  professors 
and  teachers,  and  of  the  United  States  Agricultural  Experiment  Sta- 
tion, with  chemical  laboratories  and  facilities  for  specializing  in  sev-

eral  important  agricultural  studies.  The  University  of  Arizona  is  sit- 
uated a  mile  from  the  heart  of  the  city.  Through  its  Agricultural 
and  Mining  Departments,  this  institution  has  a  most  vital  and  inti- 
mate connection  with  the  Southwest,  and  particularly  with  Arizona. 

The  public  schools,  of  which  there  are  five,  and  the  high  school, 
were  built  at  a  cost  of  over  $300,000  and  are  among  the  best  looking 
structures  in  the  city.  The  schools  are  so  well  distributed  that 
scarcely  a  home  in  the  city  is  more  than  a  five-minute  walk  from  one 
of  them.  The  new  high  school  building  has  fifteen  recitation  rooms, 
with  laboratories  for  physiography,  chemistry  and  physics  and  a  fine 
assembly  hall  with  a  seating  capacity  of  more  than  eight  hundred. 

The  city  has  several  private  and  denominational  institutions. 

The  Methodist  School  for  Mexican  Girls,  conducted  by  the  Home 
Missionary  Society  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  cares  for  48 
girls  in  a  $16,000  home.  A  training  school  for  Pima  and  Papago 
Indians,  conducted  by  the  Worn'  's  Board  of  Missions  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  has  an  enrollmei^  of  over  a  hundred  and  fifty.  The 
institution  has  a  one  hundred  and  sixty-acre  farm  near  the  city  and 
$50,000  has  been  spent  on  its  buildings. 

More  than  125  pupils  are  instructed  at  the  Papago  Indian  School, 
maintained  at  the  San  Xavier  Mission  by  the  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph. 
The  work  in  behalf  of  the  Papagoes  is  supplemented  by  the  United 
States  Government,  which  has  a  $10,000  school  house  and  dormitory. 

In  the  city  itself  the  Catholic  church  is  active  in  the  educational 
field,  maintaining  an  excellent  parochial  school  with  an  enrollment  of 
nearly  400,  and  St.  Joseph's  Orphanage,  the  home  of  40  children.  A 
most  important  work  is  also  done  by  the  St.  Joseph's  Academy,  a 
boarding  school  for  girls  and  young  ladies.  This  institution  has  an 
enrollment  of  200  and  offers  a  very  thorough  course  of  study,  not 
only  in  the  elementary  branches  but  also  in  high  school  study,  music, 
art,  etc.  Their  full  course  prepares  for  regular  College  work. 

The  climate  of  Tucson,  especially  in  the  winter  months,  is  ac- 
knowledged to  be  the  best  on  the  American  continent.  In  the  past 
three  years  there  have  been  but  ten  days  in  which  the  sun  did  not 
shine  in  this  city.  This  is  the  great  feature  of  the  region — the 
amount  of  sunshine — and  it  is  in  arid  regions  that  the  sun  attains  its 
greatest  vivifying  influence.  The  germicidal  power  of  sunshine  is 
well  known,  and  here  the  chemical  activity  of  its  rays  is  not  lost  in 
clouds  or  fogs,  but  exerts  its  full  force.  There  is  no  other  portion 
of  the  United  States  that  will  compare  favorably  wTith  that  in  and 
about  Tucson  for  the  relief  of  pulmonary  affections.  That  is  the 
opinion  of  eminent  physicians  and  scientific  climatologists,  and  the 
basis  of  this  opinion  is  the  maximum  of  sunshine,  the  clearness  of  the 
atmosphere  and  the  rapid  radiation  which  brings  a  tonic  and  refresh- 
ing coolness  to  the  night.  And  the  summer  is  dry.  The  experts  of 


WHO'S    WHO     IN    ARIZONA  37 

the  Experiment  Station  say  that  to  get  the  sensible  summer  tempera- 
ture here  it  is  necessary  to  subtract  fifteen  to  thirty  degrees  from  the 
maximum.  That  is  to  say,  the  dryness  of  the  air  makes  Tucson  that 
much  cooler  than  the  East  under  corresponding  temperatures. 

The  average  rainfall  for  forty-one  years  at  Tucson  is  11.66  inches. 
The  average  for  the  past  ten  years  has  been  11.78,  the  greatest  pre- 
cipitation occurring  during  July  and  August,  with  December  a  good 
third. 

The  summer  storms  are  short,  uncertain,  refreshing.  The  air 
parts  with  its  humidity  rapidly,  and  the  clear,  tonic,  dry  atmosphere 
returns  quickly. 

Travelers  say  this  atmosphere  of  Southern  Arizona  has  the  same 
bracing  and  exhilarating  qualities  as  the  air  of  the  Sahara,  and  that 
it  is  drier  than  any  part  of  the  valley  of  the  Nile  north  of  the 
Cataract. 

Water  for  the  city  comes  from  wells  located  in  the  valley  four 
miles  distant.  The  capacity  of  the  present  water  works  has  been 
outgrown,  and  is  now  being  enlarged,  a  bond  issue  providing  $125,000 
to  cover  the  cost.  In  a  small  way  windmills  are  made  use  of  for  ir- 
rigation, but  power  pumps  are  most  relied  on,  water  being  obtained  at 
from  10  to  150  feet. 

The  economic  aspect  of  pumping  for  irrigation  has  been  well 
threshed  out,  the  conclusion  being  that  while  not  so  cheap  or  con- 
venient as  ditch  supplies  from  rivers,  the  productivity  of  the  land  in 
this  climate  and  the  increased  market  value  of  the  products,  make  the 
slightly  increased  cost  of  pumping  economical,  while  there  are  some 
important  advantages  over  ditch  irrigation.  Well  supplies  are  con- 
tinuous and  fairly  uniform  throughout  the  year,  and  water  is  avail- 
able when  it  is  most  needed. 

The  Tucson  Gas,  Electric  Light  and  Power  Company  supplies 
power  for  manufacturing  as  well  as  gas  and  electricity  for  domestic 
use.  Several  miles  of  line  have  also  been  thrown  out  into  the  sur- 
rounding country  to  supply  pumping  plants  for  irrigation. 

Tucson  is  essentially  a  city  of  homes.  The  residential  streets  and 
districts  attract  attention  for  their  beauty  and  adaptation  of  the  archi- 
tecture to  the  climate,  and  because  of  the  gardens  and  trees. 

On  the  social  and  religious  side  Tucson  is  the  equal  of  any  Eastern 
city  of  the  same  size.  There  are  twelve  churches:  two  Methodist, 
two  Baptist  and  two  Presbyterian,  as  well  as  Catholic,  Episcopal, 
Congregational,  Christian,  Christian  Science,  Lutheran  and  Jewish. 

Practically  all  the  fraternal  organizations  are  represented,  and 
there  are  several  clubs,  four  of  which  occupy  buildings  of  their  own. 
The  Old  Pueblo  Club  building  was  recently  completed  at  a  cost  of 
$60,000,  and  the  Eagles  have  just  finished  splendid  clubrooms  in  their 
own  building.  There  are  organizations  for  women  also,  including 
the  Woman's  Club,  the  Collegiate  Club  and  the  Music  Club.

Santa  Cruz  County 

Allen  T.  Bird,  Editor  Nogales  Oasis 

SANTA  CRUZ  COUNTY,  politically  one  of  the  smallest  in  the  State, 
is  one  of  the  southermost  and  adjoins  Mexico  on  its  northern  bound- 
ary. Its  county  seat,  Nogales,  is  known  as  "The  Line  City."  The 
region  embraced  within  this  county  consists  of  lofty  mountain  ranges 
teeming  with  undeveloped  mineral  wealth,  and  enclosing  rich  and 
fertile  valleys  susceptible  of  a  high  state  of  cultivation.  The  moun- 
tains offer  splendid  opportunities  for  successful  investments  in  mining 
operations  with  manifold  returns,  and  the  valleys  injure  to  the  capable 
tiller  of  the  soil  not  only  a  competence,  but  independence  and  wealth; 
while  the  rolling  hills  between  afford  ground  for  the  breeding  and 
rearing  of  cattle  that  may  be  fattened  for  the  markets  near  at  hand 
upon  the  succulent  and  juicy  forage  plants  raised  upon  neighboring 
farms.  Seldom  can  there  be  found  anywhere  so  great  a  variety  of 
natural  resources  awaiting  development  as  here,  where  the  field,  the 
farm  and  the  mine  closely  supplement  each  other  and  support  a  large 
and  industrious  population. 

According  to  the  assessment  roll  of  1912  the  taxable  value  of  prop- 
erty within  Santa  Cruz  County  was  $2,815,133.54,  showing  an  in- 
crease of  $330,429.58  over  that  of  the  previous  year. 

It  is  stated  upon  good  authority  that  in  the  San  Rafael  and  Rain 
Valleys  alone  there  are  between  four  and  five  hundred  quarter  sections 
of  good  land  capable  of  producing  excellent  crops,  that  two  years  ago 
were  open  to  homestead  location.  Within  the  past  18  months  150 
such  locations  have  been  made  in  these  valleys,  and  about  200  other 
entries  are  now  being  made.  It  is  anticipated  that  during  the  current 
year  every  available  location  will  be  taken.  Most  of  those  who  have 
taken  up  this  land  are  people  of  means,  who  have  gone  to  work  in  the 
right  way,  and  whose  coming  and  the  application  of  whose  capital  and 
labor  will  make  the  eastern  part  of  Santa  Cruz  County  one  of  the 
most  populous  and  wealthy  regions  in  the  State. 

The  agricultural  possibilities  of  Santa  Cruz  County  have  been 
realized  but  recently,  and  even  at  this  time  are  not  thoroughly  com- 
prehended by  the  majority.  For  many  years  there  has  been  a  limited 
cultivation  in  the  river  bottoms  along  the  Santa  Cruz  and  Sonoita 
Rivers,  from  which  some  water  for  irrigation  has  been  obtained,  and 
there  have  been  a  few  isolated  places  in  the  mountains  where  good 
crops  have  been  raised ;  but  recently  general  attention  has  been  attract- 
ed to  the  valleys  referred  to  above  and  there  have  been  recorded  phe- 
nomenal growths  of  milo  maize,  corn,  and  apples,  while  nearly  all 
deciduous  fruits  thrive  well  in  the  vicinity.  A  hydrographic  map  of 
the  United  States,  published  by  the  Smithsonian  Institute,  shows  the

annual  precipitation  to  exceed  twenty  inches  of  water  and  classifies  this 
region  with  the  western  parts  of  Kansas,  Nebraska  and  the  Dakotas. 
The  area  included  in  this  classification  extends  in  a  northwesterly  di- 
rection from  the  vicinity  of  Cananea,  Mexico,  to  Prescott,  and  is  about 
sixty  miles  in  width,  and  within  Santa  Cruz  County  the  rainfall  is 
shown  to  be  much  heavier  than  in  the  regions  on  either  side.  The  sur- 
face water  is  tapped  by  wells  that  vary  in  depth  from  a  few  feet  to 
sixty  or  more,  and  in  places  in  the  vicinity  of  Elgin  wells  of  a  depth  of 
sixty  to  ninety  feet  have  struck  flows  of  water  which  raised  in  the 
wells  twenty  or  thirty  feet,  and  produced  an  apparently  inexhaustible 
supply.  Settlers  of  experience  in  various  artesian  belts  express  a  firm 
belief  that  wells  bored  to  a  depth  of  six  or  seven  hundred  feet  will  tap 
water  strata  that  will  send  to  the  surface  strong  and  abundant  flows. 


Dairy  Scene  in  Santa  Cruz 

In  many  of  the  mountain  ranges  mining  operations  of  considerable 
importance  have  been  conducted  for  a  number  of  years,  but  the  work 
has  not  been  carried  to  any  great  depth.  However,  geologists  and 
mining  experts  who  have  visited  the  region  insist  that  the  indications 
all  point  to  the  possibilities  of  successful  and  profitable  deep  mining; 
and  where  depth  has  been  attained,  notably  at  Duquesne,  in  the  Pata- 
gonia Mountains,  and  at  the  World's  Fair  mine,  in  the  same  vicinity, 
the  results  have  borne  out  these  assertions.  Within  the  past  year  re- 
markable developments  have  been  made  in  properties  in  widely  sepa- 
rated districts,  in  the  Patagonia  and  the  Santa  Rita  Mountains  and 
the  Oro  Blanco  country,  all  of  which  show  that  deep  mining  in  Santa 
Cruz  County  is  in  its  infancy  only,  and  some  of  the  heaviest  mining 
operators  and  corporations  in  the  United  States  have  bought  proper- 
ties and  commenced  development  work.  Among  these  are  the  Phelps- 
Dodge  Company,  one  of  the  greatest  copper  mining  syndicates  in  the 
world,  who  have  recently  bought  the  World's  Fair  mine;  W.  A.

Clarke,  owner  of  the  United  Verde,  said  to  be  the  greatest  copper 
mine  in  the  world,  has  bought  the  Trench  mine  in  the  same  locality; 
and  N.  L.  Amster,  President  of  the  Shannon  Copper  Company,  at 
Clifton,  has  bought  and  is  developing  the  R.  R.  R.  group.  This,  in 
itself,  spealrs  volumes  for  the  latent  mineral  resources  of  Santa  Cruz 
County. 

A  fine  grade  of  chalcedony,  equal  to  the  far  famed  Mexican  onyx, 
used  largely  in  ornamentation  and  finish  of  construction  work,  in  ar- 
chitecture, is  found  in  large  quantities  on  the  north  side  of  the  Santa 
Rita  Mountains. 

The  cattle  industry  has  been  an  important  interest  from  the  early 
settlements  here,  and  in  the  mountains  and  hills  are  extensive  ranges 
unfitted  for  any  purpose  other  than  grazing.  The  grasses  grow  rank 
and  abundant,  and  except  in  seasons  of  the  most  severe  and  protracted 
drought,  there  is  seldom  a  scarcity  of  water.  Development  of  water 
will  help  out  in  such  seasons.  The  cattle  growers  in  the  hills  and 
mountains  find  right  at  home  a  market  for  their  feeders,  and  instead 
of  sending  out  to  market  cattle  that  must  be  fed  before  making  good 
beef,  there  will  be  turned  off  annually  thousands  of  head  of  finished

bullocks  fit  for  the  block.  During  many  years  the  cattle  growers  of 
Santa  Cruz  County  have  turned  their  attention  to  high  bred  stock  and 
their  herds  are  now  well  graded  up.  The  industry  is  on  a  good,  sub- 
stantial basis,  and  will  continue  to  be  an  important  factor  in  the  ad- 
vancement of  this  great  region. 

The  population  of  the  county,  according  lo  the  census  of  1910,  was 
less  than  7,000,  but  is  nowr  estimated  to  be  close  to  9,000.  About 
3,500  of  this  number  wrere  residents  of  the  county  seat,  Nogales,  and

the  remainder  of  the  outlying  precincts.  It  is  conservatively  estimated 
that  at  the  end  of  another  year  it  will  number  about  10,000. 

In  addition  to  Nogales,  the  principal  towns  of  the  county  are  Pata- 
gonia, Harshaw,  Tubac  and  Oro  Blanco.  Harshaw  is  one  of  the  old- 
est mining  camps  in  that  part  of  Arizona,  and  Tubac  a  town  that  goes 
back  in  history  to  the  time  of  the  early  Spanish  occupation,  and  was  a 
place  of  some  importance  at  the  time  of  the  American  occupation. 

The  county  is  served  by  two  branches  of  the  Southern  Pacific  R.  R. 
and  trains  run  through  to  both  Benson  and  Tucson,  there  to  connect 
with  main  line  trains  in  either  direction,  and  at  The  Line  Citv  with 


Santa  Cruz   County   Products 

trains  to  and  from  all  points  on  the  West  Coast  reached  by  the  lines 
of  the  Southern  Pacific  of  Mexico. 

Nogales  is  the  central  point  for  several  important  branches  of  the 
U.  S.  government  service.  It  is  the  headquarters  for  the  Customs  Col- 
lection district  of  Arizona  and  the  Immigration  Bureau  has  there  an 
important  office. 

Having  in  its  favor  its  natural  resources,  climate,  situation,  and  an 
active  and  energetic  people,  Santa  Cruz  County  seems  destined  to  be- 
come at  no  very  distant  day  one  of  the  most  populous  and  wealthy 
counties  in  the  state,  and  the  seat  of  a  civilization  of  the  very  highest 
order.

Graham  County 

(By  R.  J.  Young,  Immigration  Commissioner) 

We  want  good  people  to  help  us  open  up  this  great  valley  of  the 
Gila,  the  finest  garden  spot  in  the  west,  tb"  best  climate  in  Arizona, 
the  finest  soils,  the  most  water  per  acre  for  the  irrigated  lands,  the 
best  canal  system,  excepting  the  government  control  systems,  of  any 
portion  of  the  west.  We  have  more  water  per  acre  than  any  other 
section,  and  without  the  water  you  have  nothing  but  an  arid  waste. 
Our  lands  pay  more  money  per  acre  than  any  other  lands  in  Arizona 
and  are  sold  for  less.  We  have  no  speculative  value,  the  value  of  the 
land,  irrigated,  being  derived  from  the  earning  power  of  the  money 
invested,  no  more  no  less.  Our  valley  fences  are  bull  proof,  horse 
high  and  hog  tight.  Nothing  can  keep  our  crops  from  growing  but  the 
clouds. 

We  have  graded  schools  in  Solomonville,  Safford,  Thatcher,  Cen- 
tral and  Pima  and  district  schools  in  all  the  outlying  districts,  the 
best  of  teachers  and  good  accommodations  for  the  pupil. 

Thatcher  has  an  academy  equal  to  any  in  the  new  State,  in  which 
are  taught  all  the  higher  branches. 

Our  valley  is  about  forty  miles  long  and  two  to  four  miles  in 
width,  with  about  thirty  thousand  acres  actually  under  cultivtaion. 

The  principal  crop  raised  for  exportation  is  the  great  forage  crop, 
alfalfa.  Last  year  we  shipped  about  40,000  tons  to  outside  points 
and  consumed  about  50,000  tons  at  home  in  the  fattening  of  cattle 
and  raising  of  hogs. 

We  have  three  flour  mills  in  the  valley  and  are  now  raising  a  grade 
of  wheat  which  will  permit  our  mills  to  compete  with  outside  mills 
in  the  production  of  flour. 

Our  vegetables  are  equal  to  any  raised  in  the  State  and  bring  the 
top  of  the  market  at  Globe  and  Miami,  but  \ve  do  not  raise  half 
enough  for  the  consumption  of  the  mining  camps  and  the  result  is  that 
a  portion  of  the  perishable  stuff  is  shipped  in  from  California. 

All  our  mesa  land  has  at  one  time  supported  a  vast  population  of 
our  ancient  brethren.  Pottery  is  plowed  up  in  the  field,  beautiful  spec- 
imens of  the  ancients'  work  of  art,  in  a  perfect  condition  of  preserva- 
tion. There  are  acres  of  land  where  you  can  trace  their  old  dwell- 
ings, in  perfectly  symmetrical  lines,  showing  the  size  of  each  building. 
On  the  Bonita  Creek  we  find  many  old  buildings  in  a  perfect  state  of 
preservation,  the  imprint  of  the  fingers  being  just  as  distinct  as  it 
was  the  day  the  aborigines  took  the  mud  in  their  hands  and  plastered 
the  walls.  The  timbers  in  the  roofs  are  as  hard  as  iron  and  the  roots 
themselves  absolutely  perfect.  The  small  orifices  left  for  the  family

to  enter  the  dwelling  are  today  as  they  were  thousands  of  years  ago. 
The  buildings  that  are  in  such  a  perfect  state  of  preservation  are 
under  the  lee  of  enormous  bluffs,  overhanging  instead  of  being  perpen- 
dicular, protecting  the  buildings  from  the  action  of  the  elements. 
Their  old  canals  are  traceable  in  many  places,  showing  they  carried 
on  an  extensive  irrigation,  and  in  fact  in  many  of  the  old  ruins  cotton 
cloth  has  been  dug  up,  seeds  of  many  varieties,  ojas  filled  with  the 
bones  and  ashes  of  human  beings,  their  form  of  burying  the  dead  be- 
ing cremation.  Where  once  lived  such  a  vast  population  there  must 
be  some  inherent  quality  of  the  soil,  an  atmospheric  condition  unknown 
in  other  sections  to  warrant  the  old  timer  to  dwell  in  such  vast  num- 
bers in  our  valley.  The  modern  people  who  are  now  invading  and 
making  their  homes  in  this  wonderful  valley  realize  the  incomparable 
beauty  of  our  surroundings  and  the  ideal  conditions  that  permit  the 
farmer  to  raise  such  an  abundance  of  the  good  things  of  life  and  the 
prosperous  condition  of  the  farmer  verifies  the  opinion  that  we  have 
the  best  valley,  the  most  productive  valley,  the  best  irrigation  system, 
the  most  water  per  acre,  the  most  reasonable  land  values  of  any 
section  of  the  great  State  of  Arizona. 

The  towns  of  Pima  and  Safford  have  a  splendid  water  system, 
piped  throughout  their  streets.  This  water  is  perfection  itself  and 
comes  from  the  lofty  mountains  and  the  precipitous  canyons  of  the 
famous  Graham  Mountains,  just  south  of  this  great  valley,  rising  to 
a  height  of  10,600  feet  above  sea  level,  snow-capped  most  of  the  year 
and  covered  with  a  splendid  growth  of  pine  and  fir.  It  is  just  a  halt 
day's  travel  from  the  heat  of  the  valley  to  the  most  perfect  summer 
climate  in  the  world,  where  one  can  enjoy  the  cool  breezes  and  the 
perfect  climatic  conditions  that  make  an  ideal  summer  and  a  perfect 
health  resort,  for  rest  and  recuperation  in  the  summer  time.  \Ve 
have  saw  mills  on  this  mountain  and  supply  considerable  of  the  lum- 
ber used  in  the  valley  towns.  On  the  west  side  of  this  famous  moun- 
tain we  have  the  Aravaipa  Valley,  the  most  beautiful  roads,  the 
finest  stock  and  grass  growing  country  in  Arizona.  The  Industrial 
school  is  located  on  the  south  slope  of  this  great  mountain,  where 
once  stood  and  where  now  you  may  see  the  vast  ruins  of  the  once 
great  government  post,  Fort  Grant,  the  grandest  and  most  perfect 
post  the  federal  government  ever  built  in  the  far  west,  the  mammoth 
buildings  falling  into  decay  and  ruin  and  now  another  era  of  man  is 
reclaiming  it  and  building  a  new  school  for  the  education  of  those 
who  have  not  the  opportunity  of  most  of  us,  wards  of  the  State. 

This  is  a  great  cattle  and  goat  country,  and  thousands  of  dollars 
each  year  are  derived  from  the  sale  of  goats'  wool,  mohair,  and  cattle. 
Considerable  farming  is  being  done,  most  of  the  products  being  con- 
sumed at  home. 

On  the  north  slope  of  the  Graham  Mountains  we  have  an  artesian 
belt  about  twenty  miles  in  length  and  from  four  to  six  miles  in

width.  Only  a  portion  of  this  belt  has  been  reclaimed  and  we  are 
bringing  in  new  wTells  all  the  time.  We  have  some  wonderful  flows 
of  water,  ascending  from  two  to  sixteen  inches  above  the  collar  of  the 
pipe  and  some  of  the  wells  are  flowing  sufficient  water  for  the  irriga- 
tion of  one  hundred  and  twenty  acres  of  land.  What  more  would 
the  settler  ask  than  a  permanent  water  right  for  $500  or  $1,000.  The 
cost  of  sinking  these  wells  is  approximately  $1  per  foot  and  there  is  no 
place  in  the  artesian  belt  where  they  have  not  encountered  a  good  flow 
of  water.  The  temperatures  of  this  water  is  about  75  degrees  and 
permits  the  farmer  to  raise  garden  truck  all  the  year  and  in  the  winter 
time  the  mining  camps  pay  the  highest  price  for  green  vegetables. 
Think  what  the  future  of  this  one  section  alone  means  to  a  live,  wide- 
awake farmer.  The  extent  of  this  underground  flow  has  never  been 
determined. 

The  farmers  in  the  artesian  belt  have  recently  organized  a  cotton 
growers'  association  and  have  signed  up  considerable  land  for  the  pur- 
pose of  raising  cotton  and  making  it  one  of  our  permanent  industries. 
So  far  the  cotton  grown  has  been  in  an  experimental  way,  but  has 
proven  beyond  doubt  that  we  can  raise  cotton  equal  to  any  section  of 
the  south. 

We  are  working  hand  in  hand  with  the  Ocean  to  Ocean  Highway 
and  have  done  wonders  for  our  road  system  in  the  last  year.  Through 
the  heart  of  the  valley  we  have  as  good  dirt  roads  as  are  found 
anywhere  and  are  continually  grading  and  adding,  just  as  fast  as  the 
road  fund  will  permit.  We  have  graded  several  miles  of  new  road 
in  the  Fort  Thomas  section,  have  signed  a  contract  with  the  Indian 
agent  for  the  completion  of  the  road  from  Geronimo  to  San  Carlos, 
across  the  reservation,  and  several  miles  have  already  been  completed. 
This  road  has  always  been  an  eyesore  and  a  terrible  trial  to  the 
autoist  on  account  of  the  washes  and  sand.  This  has  all  been  done 
away  with.  The  main  washes  are  now  bridged  and  a  great  portion 
of  the  road  graded  and  in  perfect  condition,  so  that  the  machine  man 
need  have  no  fear  of  the  reservation.  Our  congressman  has  recently 
informed  us  that  Congress  has  made  the  appropriation  for  the 
bridges  at  the  San  Carlos  and  the  Gila  Rivers,  the  building  of  which 
will  entirely  close  the  gap  between  the  good  roads  and  give  the 
traveling  public  an  ideal  highway  to  the  Phoenix  and  Globe  section 
without  having  to  pass  over  the  high  altitudes,  muddy  roads,  torren- 
tial streams  and  isolated  section  of  the  White  Mountains.  The 
eastern  traveler  can  now  bring  his  machine  to  the  warm  south  and 
our  glorious  climate  without  incurring  any  undue  inconvenience.  This 
means  all  the  eastern  travel  heading  toward  the  San  Diego  Pan- 
American  Exposition  will  find  we  have  a  glorious  route  through 
Arizona  and  that  he  will  travel  for  days  in  sight  of  agricultural 
fields,  farm  houses,  growing  crops  and  running  water  and  that  we 
in  Arizona,  especially  on  this  route,  have  obliterated  the  desert,  made

it  into  one  of  the  garden  spots  of  the  sunny  south,  and  the  land  of 
perpetual  sunshine  and  good  health. 

We  will  shortly  be  on  the  main  line  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Rail- 
road and  practically  the  only  irrigated  section  from  San  Antonio  to 
the  Salt  River  Valley.  Those  familiar  with  conditions  in  the  West 
know  there  is  nothing  will  advance  a  community  more  rapidly  than 
co-operation  with  the  railroad,  as  it  displays  its  resources  in  that  way 
to  the  thousands.  We  need  new  blood  and  new  money  to  bring  us 
to  the  place  we  would  like  to  see  attained  while  we  of  the  present 
day  are  alive,  able  and  ready  to  appreciate  its  vast  benefits. 

There  is  not  one  instance  here  where  a  diligent  worker  had  to 
return  his  place  to  the  original  owner,  not  one  case  on  record  where 
acreage  has  had  to  be  foreclosed  because  of  non-payment  of  principal. 
Doesn't  this  mean  that  our  values  are  constantly  increasing  and  that 
we  are  above  all,  prosperous  and  industrious? 

We  have  a  wonderful  country  in  an  archaeological  as  well  as  in 
an  agricultural  sense,  evidences  of  which  are  continually  being  dis- 
covered, as  it  is  continually  being  proven  that  we  can  raise  something 
a  little  bit  better  than  our  neighbor,  some  fruit,  vegetable  or  berry, 
all  of  which  demonstrates  that  we  are  still  in  our  infancy,  and  have 
not  yet  realized  what  a  vast  opportunity  is  ours.  Nor  shall  we  until 
we  have  cut  up  many  of  our  larger  holdings  in  order  that  we  may 
derive  all  the  benefits  possible  from  this  wonderful  soil  and  climate.

Cochise  County 

By  Joseph  H.  Gray,  Secretary  of  Warren  District  Commercial  Club. 

With  an  extent  of  6147  square  miles,  equal  to  the  area  of  Con- 
necticut and  Rhode  Island  combined ;  with  rugged  mountain  ranges 
that  are  the  storehouses  of  inestimable  mineral  wealth ;  with  broad 
and  extending  valleys  wherein  are  ranges  o'er  which  roam  thousands 
of  cattle,  and  which  are  dotted  with  an  ever-increasing  number  of 
ranches,  in  the  southeastern  corner  of  Arizona,  lies  Cochise  County 
which  leads  the  state  in  wealth  and  disputes  with  Maricopa  County 
the  premiership  in  population.  In  assessed  valuation  it  contains  one- 
fifth  of  the  wealth  of  the  whole  state,  while  its  population,  which  in 
1910  was  35,591,  is  now  conservatively  estimated  to  be  in  excess  of 
40,000.  Its  assessed  valuation  of  $38,000,000,  gives  a  per  capita 
wealth  of  $950  for  each  man,  woman  and  child  within  its  confines. 

As  Arizona  leads  the  nation  in  production  of  copper,  Cochise  Coun- 
ty leads  Arizona,  producing  one-half  of  the  total  output  of  that  metal, 
while  the  Warren  District  alone  produces  more  than  one-third  of  the 
state's  output.  While  mining  is  the  chief  and  largest  industry,  cattle 
raising  is  of  great  importance  and  agriculture  is  making  such  vast 
strides  that  it  promises  in  the  near  future  to  rank  second  only  to  min- 
ing. Settlers  are  rapidly  taking  up  all  of  the  available  government 
land  and  by  the  development  of  underground  wrater  supplies  and  the 
practice  of  intensive  farming  are  developing  the  rich  fertile  lands  of 
the  county  into  garden  spots,  building  up  substantial  homes,  and  gath- 
ering into  agricultural  communities  wrhile  the  industry  is  still  in  its 
infancy.  Where  formerly  all  was  cow  country  now  are  hundreds  of 
ranch  homes  ranging  from  the  most  modest  to  substantial  dwellings 
with  large  outbuildings  and  modern  farming  equipment  so  that  the 
lower  lands  of  Cochise  county  are  in  a  transition  period.  As  the  hills 
have  been  only  scratched  over  in  the  search  for  minerals  so  also  have 
the  valleys  been  little  more  than  touched  in  proving  their  possibilities 
for  agriculture  and  yet  the  results  promise  as  much  for  the  one  as 
the  other  when  equal  development  has  been  achieved. 

Topographically  Cochise  County  is  divided  from  south  to  north  by 
three  mountain  systems  which  separate  three  great  valleys.  The  west- 
erly mountain  system  is  composed  of  three  ranges,  the  Whetstone, 
Huachucas  and  Mules,  the  great  Warren  District  being  situated  in  the 
latter  range,  surrounding  Bisbee  the  metropolis  of  the  county.  Far- 
ther east  are  the  Dragoons  and  still  farther  east  the  Swisshelms  and 
the  Chiricahuas.  In  the  mountains  of  the  county  in  the  early  days 
were  the  strongholds  of  the  fierce  and  bloodthirsty  Apaches  and  from

these  Geronimo  and  his  braves  waged  relentless  warfare  upon  the 
pioneers  until  themselves  hunted  down  by  government  regulars  and 
volunteers  from  among  the  early  day  settlers. 

The  three  valleys  are  the  San  Pedro  on  the  west,  Sulphur  Springs 
in  the  center  and  San  Simon  on  the  east.  In  the  San  Simon,  at  San 
Simon,  and  in  the  San  Pedro  at  Land,  artesian  flows  of  water  have 
already  been  developed,  while  experiments  in  that  direction  are  now 
in  progress  in  the  Sulphur  Springs  Valley,  which  is  settling  more  rap- 
idly than  any  other  section.  In  all  of  these  valleys  the  climate  is  un- 
surpassed, the  land  is  most  fertile  and  the  magic  touch  of  water  is  all 
that  is  required  to  make  them  blossom  and  produce.  The  putting 
down  of  wells,  the  erection  of  windmills  and  pumping  plants  in  all 
directions  is  bringing  this  about. 

On  the  foothills  are  luxurious  growths  of  nutritious  grasses  during 
most  of  the  months  of  the  year  and  here  and  in  the  valleys  roam  the 
herds  of  cattle  owned  by  individuals,  firms  and  corporations,  bringing 
in  revenues  mounting  to  millions  each  year.  These  foothills  are  also 
susceptible  of  cultivation  into  vineyards  and  orchards,  producing  fine 
grapes  and  peaches  that  excel  any  others  grown  in  the  west. 

It  is  in  the  Mule  Mountains  that  the  greatest  mineral  resources  of 
Cochise  County  have  been  developed.  From  the  Warren  Mining  Dis- 
trict there  are  being  shipped  daily  for  reduction  6,000  tons  of  ore  by 
three  companies,  the  Copper  Queen,  the  Calumet  and  Arizona,  and 
the  Shattuck  Arizona  Companies,  the  former  having  been  an  active 
producer  since  the  early  eighties  of  the  last  century.  In  this  district 
there  are  hundreds  of  miles  of  underground  workings  and  yet  the 
extent  of  the  ore  deposits  remain  undetermined  beyond  the  fact  that 
they  still  contain  vastly  more  metal  than  has  been  extracted  within  the 
past  thirty  years  and  that  even  then  the  end  is  not  in  sight. 

For  many  years  copper  was  the  only  metal  to  receive  attention  in 
the  Warren  District  but  recently  important  deposits  of  rich  lead- 
silver  ore  have  been  developed  and  are  now  being  mined  and  shipped 
for  reduction.  The  importance  of  these  mines  as  well  as  the  porphyry 
deposits  is  now  manifest  and  these  wrill  from  now  on  receive  deserved 
attention.  In  addition  to  this  there  is  a  large  placer  area  at  the 
southerly  end  of  the  district  which  contains  60  cents  in  gold  to  the 
cubic  yard  and  this  requires  only  the  solution  of  a  cheap  method  of  ex- 
traction to  become  an  added  source  of  available  wrealth. 

Although  there  are  but  three  actively  producing  mining  companies 
in  the  district  there  are  many  mining  claims  on  which  development 
work  has  progressed  sufficiently  to  indicate  valuable  deposits  and  to 
warrant  assertion  that  further  development  is  all  that  is  necessary  to 
bring  them  to  production. 

The  Johnson-Dragoon  District  is  another  important  mineralized 
section  of  Cochise  County  situated  in  the  same  general  mountain  sys- 
tem but  in  the  northwesterly  corner  of  the  county.  Here  there  are 


WHO'S     WHO     IN     ARIZONA  55 

now  half  a  dozen  producing  properties  with  more  than  a  dozen  others 
in  well  advanced  stages  of  development  and  scores  of  claims  that  have 
undergone  only  preliminary  exploration  and  work. 

Pearce,  Courtland  and  Gleeson  are  located  in  the  central  moun- 
tain system,  and  are  all  producers.  At  the  first  mentioned  is  located 
the  Commonwealth,  which  has  given  up  $38,000,000  in  silver  and  is 
being  further  developed  with  every  indication  that  millions  remain  to 
be  extracted.  Courtland  and  Gleeson  both  have  their  producing 
mines,  making  large  shipments  to  the  smelters.  Courtland  is  a  copper 
camp  and  Gleeson  produces  silver  as  well. 

In  the  Chiricahuas  and  the  Swisshelms,  the  easterly  system  of  moun- 
tains, are  producing  and  partially  developed  mining  properties  as  well. 
There  are  numbers  of  these  in  the  vicinity  of  Paradise  especially.  Dos 
Cabezas  promises  to  become  prominent  in  copper  production  in  the 
near  future. 

Bisbee,  the  largest  and  most  important  city  of  Cochise  County,  has 
a  population  of  13,000  and  with  its  suburbs,  all  connected  with  it  by 
electric  street  railroads,  the  population  is  more  than  18,000.  This 
city  with  its  unincorporated  suburbs  forms  the  Warren  District  and 
pays  one-third  of  the  taxes  of  the  county.  It  is  essentially  a  mining 
community  but  at  the  same  time  affords  the  facilities,  improvements 
and  advantages  of  the  modern  city.  It  is  the  most  populous  area  of 
the  same  size  in  Arizona  as  well  as  the  most  wealthy.  Its  monthly 
payroll  amounts  to  $750,000  and  its  business  and  trade  importance  is 
commensurate.  Here  the  underground  worker's  lowest  wage  is  $3.75 
per  day  and  other  labor,  as  well  as  clerical  work,  is  proportionately  re- 
warded. No  Mexican  labor  is  employed  underground  and  American 
labor  predominates  throughout  the  district.  The  chief  foreign  ele- 
ment to  be  found  in  the  district  is  Slavonian  and  this  labor  is  as  well 
paid  as  is  the  American  for  the  same  class  of  work. 

In  its  early  days  Bisbee  was  known  as  Mule  Gulch  and  first  at- 
tained notice  about  thirty  years  ago  when  it  was  merely  a  prospectors' 
camp  of  a  few  shacks  and  tents.  Here,  up  among  the  rugged  moun- 
tains the  Copper  Queen  company  developed  a  mine,  and  others  fol- 
lowed until  there  grew  up  a  great  mining  center.  On  the  only  level 
streets  business  houses  were  built,  warehouses  constructed,  office  build- 
ings erected,  while  the  residential  districts  spread  up  the  hills  and 
climbed  to  points  along  the  mountain  sides,  reached  sometimes  by 
roads,  more  often  by  trails  and  at  other  times  by  flights  of  steps.  The 
result  is  a  city  that  in  appearance  is  unique.  Shacks  gave  place  to 
handsome  buildings  of  brick  and  stone,  charming  homes  replaced  the 
miners'  cabins,  dives  and  rookeries  made  way  for  churches,  libraries, 
lodge  buildings,  Y.  M.  C.  A.  buildings,  a  Y.  W.  C.  A.,  school  houses 
and  other  public  improvements.  Water  was  piped  and  pumped  from 
Naco,  nine  miles  away,  instead  of  being  packed  in  skins  on  burro  back. 
The  railroad  entered  and  supplanted  the  pack  train.  The  smelter  was

moved  to  Douglas,  35  miles  away,  and  smoke  and  sulphur  fumes 
were  thus  eliminated.  Electric  lights  and  gas  supplanted  candles  and 
smoky  oil  lamps,  paved  streets  appeared,  a  subway  system  carried  off 
the  flood  waters  of  the  rainy  season  and  devastation  which  had  before 
been  not  infrequent  was  made  impossible.  After  several  destructive 
fires  one  of  the  best  fire  departments  in  Arizona  resulted  from  im- 
provements and  a  city  water  supply  for  fire  purposes  was  created. 
For  these  municipal  improvements  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars 
were  expended  and  permanent  benefits  therefrom  were  obtained. 

At  an  altitude  of  5300  feet  at  the  railroad  station  Bisbee  enjoys  a 
cooler  climate  in  summer  than  do  the  cities  of  the  valleys,  while  the 
surrounding  mountains  in  close  proximity  effectually  shelter  it  from 
the  cold  blasts  of  winter  as  well  as  from  dust  storms.  The  average 
mean  temperature  for  the  past  twenty  years  has  been  60.1  degrees, 
the  average  coldest  month,  January,  is  45.3,  and  the  average  month 
of  July,  the  warmest  of  the  year,  is  75.3,  while  the  precipitation  in 
the  same  period  has  been  17.96  annually.  The  result  is  a  climate  of 
singular  health  giving  properties  and  despite  the  fact  that  accidents 
in  mines  are  at  times  unavoidable  the  death  rate  in  the  Warren  Dis- 
trict is  lower  than  in  any  other  section  of  the  state.  Despite  this  fact 
Bisbee  has  been  too  busy  with  mining  and  with  business  affairs  to 
enter  the  ranks  of  health  resorts  and  today  it  takes  pride  in  the  fact 
that  its  pre-eminence  is  as  a  copper  producing  center. 

In  culture,  education  and  socially  the  city  is  at  the  forefront.  There 
is  a  larger  proportion  of  college  bred  men  in  its  limit  than  can  be 
found  outside  of  college  cities  of  the  same  population.  All  churches 
are  represented,  all  lodges  also,  and  the  Elks,  Masons,  Moose  and 
Knights  of  Columbus  all  own  their  homes,  as  do  the  Woman's  Club 
and  the  Country  Club.  A  fine  library  and  reading  rooms,  open  to  all 
of  the  public,  is  supported  by  the  Copper  Queen  company.  Both  the 
Copper  Queen  and  the  Calumet  and  Arizona  companies  have  their 
medical  corps,  their  dispensaries  and  their  hospitals,  where  the  most 
modern  equipment  is  to  be  found.  Of  the  lodges  it  is  a  notable  fact 
that  the  Elks  built  a  new  home  on  the  site  of  the  one  that  had  been 
destroyed  by  fire  and  paid  off  $34,000  of  indebtedness  in  two  and  one- 
half  years. 

Lowell  is  the  nearest  and  the  largest  suburb  of  Bisbee,  ten  minutes 
distant  by  street  railway,  situated  to  the  south,  and  in  a  more  open  loca- 
tion. Here  are  the  two  hospitals,  handsome  business  houses,  and  it 
has  its  own  bank  and  theater.  Lowell  is  closer  to  more  mine  shafts 
than  Bisbee,  and  through  its  independence  avoids  the  payment  of 
municipal  taxes. 

Warren  is  the  residential  suburb  of  Bisbee.  Here,  on  a  gradually 
sloping  plateau,  commanding  a  view  of  mountains  on  the  one  side  and 
valley  on  the  other,  are  handsome  homes,  surrounded  by  lawns,  shrub-

ben",  trees  and  flowers  and  in  reach  of  Bisbee  in  twenty  minutes  by- 
electric  railway  writh  half  hour  service.  Here  are  the  offices  of  the 
Calumet  and  Arizona  company,  charming  Vista  Park,  and  close  by 
the  Country  Club  with  its  spacious  home,  its  nine  hole  golf  course, 
tennis  courts,  rifle  range  and  traps  for  the  shotgun  experts.  At  War- 
ren water  and  electric  light  are  both  furnished  by  the  mining  com- 
pany. It  has,  as  has  Lowell  also,  its  own  school  building,  all  of  the 
district  being  in  the  Bisbee  School  District  for  which  there  is  now  be- 
ing erected  an  $80,000  high  school  building. 

Tombstone,  replete  with  historic  interest,  picturesquely  located  with 
a  magnificent  outlook,  is  the  county  seat  of  Cochise  County.  It  was 
discovered  in  1878,  before  there  was  a  Cochise  County,  by  Edward 
Scheffelin,  and  was  long  known  as  one  of  the  most  famous  mining 
camps  of  the  country.  Millions  of  dollars  of  wealth  it  produced  until 
the  problem  of  unwatering  the  workings  caused  a  shut  down  by  the 
operating  company  which  must  continue  until  that  problem  has  been 
solved. 

Willcox  is  the  largest  town  in  the  north  of  the  county  on  the 
Southern  Pacific  Railroad,  and  is  the  center  of  a  growing  agricultural 
district  as  well  as  an  important  cattle  shipping  point.  Other  towns 
of  the  north  are  Dos  Cabezas,  Cochise  and  Bowie  ;  of  the  south  Naco, 
important  as  being  the  gateway  to  the  Cananea  District  in  Mexico  and 
railroad  junction  for  the  El  Paso  and  Southwestern  Railroad  and  the 
Cananea  Railroad  ;  Benson  on  the  Southern  Pacific  and  Southwestern 
Railroads  and  important  as  an  agricultural  and  possible  oil  center; 
and  Fort  Huachuca,  the  government  military  post.  Up  the  Sulphur 
Springs  Valley  is  Courtland,  important  for  its  mines  and  surrounding 
ranches,  while  numerous  smaller  settlements  are  rapidly  growing  up 
in  its  eighty  miles  of  length  and  twenty  miles  of  breadth  with  the 
spread  of  agriculture. 

In  addition  to  its  natural  wrealth  and  possibilities,  Cochise  boasts 
of  its  good  roads  and  its  school  system.  There  are  more  miles  of  good 
roads  than  can  be  traversed  at  all  seasons  of  the  year  than  in  any  other 
county  of  the  state,  and  these  systems  are  being  each  year  extended. 
It  is  traversed  by  the  state  highway  and  by  two  of  the  proposed  Na- 
tional Highways,  these  passing  through  Douglas,  Bisbee  and  Tomb- 
stone, and  being  connected  up  with  other  points. 

The  public  schools  of  Cochise  County,  in  the  65  school  districts,  are 
supported  by  an  annual  expenditure  of  over  $200,000,  and  rank  with 
the  best  in  the  land.  There  are  in  attendance  4500  scholars  who  are 
instructed  by  200  teachers,  the  average  salary  for  men  being  $111.75, 
and  for  women  $83.81.  As  fast  as  occasion  requires  new  school  dis- 
tricts are  created,  new  buildings  erected  and  more  teachers  engaged  so 
that  the  progress  of  education  keeps  pace  with  the  growth  of  popula- 
tion in  all  parts  of  the  county.

Douglas 

By  Edward  P.  Grindell 

In  the  southeastern  corner  of  Arizona,  on  the  borderline  between 
the  United  States  and  Mexico,  is  Douglas,  a  modern  city,  now  but 
ten  years  old. 

Situated  in  the  center  of  the  greatest  mineral  district  in  the  world, 
and  having  good  railroad  facilities,  Douglas  is  the  natural  location  for 
the  great  smelters  that  are  now  in  operation  and  in  course  of  con- 
struction in  that  city.  In  the  center  of  a  rich,  fertile  valley,  its  loca- 
tion permits  of  the  building  of  a  city  second  to  none  in  Arizona. 
Douglas  is  the  one,  large  borderland  city  between  El  Paso  on  the  east 
and  Los  Angeles  on  the  west.  Its  position  commercially,  politically, 
and  geographically,  is  strategic.  Cochise  is  the  most  thickly  populated 
county  in  Arizona,  has  the  most  complete  system  of  roads  and  rail- 
ways, and  the  largest  output  of  precious  and  commercial  metals  in  the 
new  State,  as  well  as  the  heaviest  investment  of  capital,  local  and 
interstate. 

Ten  years  ago  Douglas  was  an  uninhabited  patch  in  the  Sulphur 
Springs  Valley.  The  present  population  is  about  12,000  happy  and 
industrious  people.  The  public  buildings,  office  blocks,  banks, 
schools,  churches,  and  mercantile  establishments  are  all  substantially 
built,  principally  of  brick  or  stone.  The  schools  are  of  the  best. 

Douglas  is  on  the  main  line  of  the  El  Paso  &  Southwestern  R.  R., 
with  branch  lines  running  south  into  Mexico,  eighty  miles  to  Naco- 
zari,  and  north  through  the  Sulphur  Springs  Valley.  The  Southern 
Pacific  R.  R.  has  had  a  survey  into  Douglas  for  some  time  to  connect 
with  their  lines  from  the  south  coast  of  Mexico. 

Arizona  leads  the  districts  of  the  United  States  in  the  production 
of  gold,  silver,  copper,  lead  and  zinc.  The  Douglas  smelters  treat 
over  50%  of  the  state's  output  of  copper,  besides  receiving  thousands 
of  tons  of  ore  from  Mexico  for  smelting.  The  combined  output  of 
the  Douglas  smelters  is  nearing  200,000,000  Ibs.  of  copper  bullion  a 
year,  making  Douglas  one  of  the  greatest  smelter  cities  in  the  world. 
Within  a  radius  of  one  hundred  miles  of  Douglas  there  are  hundreds 
of  small  mines  that  during  their  development  ship  to  the  Douglas 
smelters  thousands  of  tons  of  rich  ores  that  in  many  cases  pay  the  ex- 
penses of  the  development  of  the  mine.  Many  of  these  properties 
lack  only  capital  to  bring  them  into  the  class  of  big  producers.  Doug- 
las is  headquarters  for  the  mining  men  of  the  Southwest,  both  Mexico 
and  Arizona,  and  serves  as  a  supply  point  for  these  smaller  mines. 
Merchandise  from  the  Douglas  stores  is  shipped  by  rail  and  pack 
trains  hundreds  of  miles  into  the  wilderness  of  Mexico,  and  this  Mexi- 
can business  is  a  big  item  in  the  trade  of  the  Douglas  merchant.  One 
mile  from  the  city,  across  the  Mexican  line,  is  the  interesting  town  of

Agua  Prieta,  a  valuable  port  of  entry  for  the  Mexican  Government, 
which  during  the  recent  civil  war  was  a  point  of  much  contention. 

The  Gadsden  Hotel  at  Douglas  is  one  of  the  finest  to  be  found  in 
the  west,  and  offers  every  convenience  to  the  traveler.  Splendid 
street  car  service,  automobile  roads,  country  club  and  golf  links  fur- 
nish the  tourist  with  conveniences  difficult  to  equal  in  the  ordinary 
western  town.  It  is  but  a  short  distance  and  easy  ride  to  the  moun- 
tains on  either  side  of  the  valley,  where  can  be  found  running  streams, 
immense  timbers,  rugged  mountain  peaks,  and  beautiful  picnic  and 
camping  grounds.  The  city  is  on  the  main  line  of  the  transcontinental 
automobile  travel. 

All  secret  societies  have  lodges  in  Douglas.  The  Elks  have  a  well- 
equipped  home  for  the  comfort  of  their  members. 

The  city  is  located  upon  flat,  level  ground,  with  plenty  of  room  to 
grow  in  every  direction.  It  has  a  magnificent  view,  the  background  in 
every  direction  being  the  mountains,  rich  in  all  the  wronderful  coloring 
characteristic  of  the  rugged  hills  of  the  Southwest. 

Douglas  is  not  only  prosperous  now,  but  is  looking  forward  to 
greater  things,  one  of  which  is  the  development  of  the  Sulphur  Springs 
Valley  to  the  north.  This  valley  is  being  settled  as  fast  as  settlers  can 
make  their  location,  put  in  pumping  plants  and  build  their  homes. 
Some  wonderful  results  in  crop  production  have  been  shown  in  the  few 
years  that  farming  has  been  carried  on  in  this  vicinity.  The  soil  is 
rich,  the  water  pure,  soft  and  unlimited  in  supply,  while  the  climate 
is  such  that  the  farmer  can  work  out  doors  every  day  in  the  year. 
This  valley  is  fast  becoming  a  home  for  the  small  rancher.  With  a 
farming  background  and  a  vast  mineral  wealth,  Douglas  is  fast  be- 
coming the  garden  city  and  ideal  home  town  of  Arizona.  The  city  is 
new,  there  are  no  old  buildings  to  mar  the  beauty  of  the  principal 
streets.  It  is  built  for  the  future — all  her  streets,  street  car  lines, 
public  buildings,  water  works,  sewer  systems,  telephone  system,  hotels 
—everything  is  built  for  permanence  and  for  a  city  of  many  times  its 
present  population.  The  banks  of  Douglas,  with  over  a  million  and  a 
half  of  deposits,  are  among  the  solid  financial  institutions  of  the  west. 

Douglas  is  young,  and  offers  inducements  to  men  in  many  lines  of 
work  to  come  there  and  live.  It  is  the  ideal  city  with  which  to  be 
associated  and  grow  up.

Yavapai  County 

Malcolm  Fraser,  Secretary  Chamber  of  Commerce 

YAVAPAI  COUNTY,  "Mother  of  Arizona  counties,"  formerly  com- 
prised nearly  the  whole  of  Northern  Arizona,  a  territory  larger  than 
Indiana.  Its  area  is  now  8,160  square  miles,  about  the  same  as  that 
of  the  state  of  NewT  Jersey. 

The  principal  resources  of  Yavapai  County  are  mining,  stock  rais- 
ing and  agriculture.  It  is  the  second  largest  county  in  the  state  of 
Arizona  in  the  production  of  gold,  third  in  copper,  second  in  cattle 
and  sheep  and  first  in  horticulture. 

The  Arizona  Consolidated  Smelting  Company,  at  Humboldt,  and 
the  United  Verde  Copper  Company,  at  Jerome,  are  the  principal 
smelters  in  Yavapai  County.  Mining,  wrhich  has  been  dull  for  sev- 
eral years,  owing  to  the  drop  in  the  price  of  copper,  is  reviving.  A 
recent  very  rich  strike  of  copper  ore  in  the  Commercial  Mining  Com- 
pany's property  at  Copper  Basin,  near  Prescott,  may  give  rise  to  the 
construction  of  another  large  smelter  here.  To  care  for  the  produc- 
tion of  his  great  mine,  ex-Senator  W.  A.  Clark,  the  fortunate  owner 
of  the  United  Verde  Copper  Company,  is  building  a  new  town  and 
smelter  at  Clarkdale,  near  Jerome,  in  the  Verde  Valley,  to  which  a 
railroad  has  been  constructed  from  Cedar  Glade,  on  the  Santa  Fe, 
Prescott  &  Phoenix  line  between  Ash  Fork  and  Phoenix.  This  new 
smelter,  like  the  one  at  Humboldt,  will  treat  custom  ores. 

At  the  First  Arizona  State  Fair,  Phoenix,  1912,  Yavapai  County 
made  a  clean  sweep  of  the  horticultural  prizes,  taking  practically  all 
the  individual  and  special  prizes  for  her  orchardists.  The  number 
of  blue  and  red  ribbons  taken  totaled  185,  being  more  than  twice  as 
many  as  were  received  by  all  the  other  counties  exhibiting.  Yavapai 
also  took  the  silver  cup  for  the  best  county  exhibit  and  more  than 
$500  in  cash  prizes. 

The  advent  of  scientific  soil  culture  ("dry- farming")  in  Yavapai 
County,  Arizona,  was  only  two  years  ago.  The  first  impetus  re- 
ceived by  the  farmers  of  this  county  came  through  experts  brought 
to  the  towns  by  the  Prescott  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  the  Santa  Fe 
Railway.  Our  farmers  received  enough  practical  suggestions  from 
these  experts  to  enable  them,  in  1912,  to  double  their  harvests,  com- 
pared with  those  of  1910.  Yavapai  exhibits  made  in  the  Colorado 
Springs  and  Lethbridge  Dry-Farm  congresses,  in  1911-1912,  which 
won  many  first  prizes  against  the  world,  further  enheartened  our 
farmers  to  plant  additional  areas. 

The  results  of  this  campaign  of  education  have  been  two-fold: 
They  have  greatly  improved  the  grasp  of  our  local  farmer  and  en- 
hanced his  confidence  in  his  land,  and  they  have  brought  to  the  at-

tention  of  the  outside  world  the  fact  that  there  are  great  areas  in 
Yavapai  County,  which  can  be  bought  cheaply  or  homesteaded,  upon 
which  profitable  crops  yearly  may  be  produced. 

Over  2,000  more  acres  of  corn  were  planted  in  1912  than  in  1911. 
A  conservative  estimate  of  the  production  per  acre  is  placed  at  twenty- 
five  bushels.  While  this  would  not  look  unusual  to  the  average 
farmer  of  the  corn-belt  states,  it  should  be  noted  that  much  of  the 
land  on  which  this  corn  was  grown  was  broken  for  the  first  time  in 
the  winter  of  1911;  also,  that  our  farmer  gets  two  cents  a  pound 
for  his  corn  and  other  grains. 

Potatoes  in  Williamson,  Skull  and  Thompson  valleys  yielded 
splendid  harvests.  This  crop  can  now  be  said  to  be  out  of  the  experi- 
mental stage,  so  far  as  northern  Arizona  is  concerned.  All  our  pota- 
toes are  grown  without  irrigation,  the  average  rainfall  for  the  past 
thirty  years  in  these  valleys,  sixteen  inches,  having  proved  ample  to 
mature  all  the  crops  which  can  be  growTn  in  the  temperate  zone. 

Yavapai  County  enjoys  the  best  all-year-round  climate  to  be  found 
in  the  Southwrest.  The  altitude  of  the  county  averages  one  mile. 
Life  in  the  open  is  possible  for  at  least  ten  months  of  the  year,  and 
blankets  are  necessary  every  night  of  the  365. 

The  principal  town  of  Yavapai  County  is  Prescott,  population 
6,000,  altitude  5,347  feet,  situated  in  quite  a  thickly-wTooded  pin>_ 
area.  The  temperature  is  pleasant  at  all  seasons  of  the  year.  The 
hottest  months,  July  and  August,  are  thoroughly  enjoyable,  wyhiie 
the  winter  days  are  mild  and  sunny.  The  summer  nights  are  de- 
liciously  cool,  and  a  blanket  always  is  requisite.  The  maximum  sum- 
mer temperature  is  about  95  to  98  degrees  F.,  and  the  mean  tempera- 
ture for  the  months  of  July  and  August  is  71.6  and  71.2  degrees,  re- 
spectively. The  mean  temperature  for  the  coldest  months,  December 
and  January,  is  37.7  and  35.1  respectively,  while  the  maximum  for 
these  months  is  about  70  degrees.  Frequently  the  thermometer  drops 
nearly  to  zero  for  a  day  or  two  about  the  end  of  December.  The 
average  annual  rainfall  at  Prescott  is  17.12  inches,  falling  chiefly  in 
short,  sharp  showers  in  the  summer  season.  In  the  winter  there  is 
occasionally  a  slight  fall  of  snow,  which,  under  the  influence  of  the 
bright  sunshine  soon  disappears.  The  percentage  of  sunshine  in 
Prescott  is  very  high.  In  1909  there  were  241  clear  days,  74  partly 
cloudy  and  50  cloudy.  In  1910  there  were  265  clear  days,  55  partly 
cloudy  and  45  cloudy. 

One  may  get  a  clearer  conception  of  the  mountain  climate  of  north- 
ern Arizona  with  that  of  other  well-known  mountain  resorts.  Vaughn, 
in  the  Montreal  Medical  Journal,  says:  "The  climate  of  Prescott 
challenges  comparison  with  that  of  Denver  and  Colorado  Springs. 
Thirty  feet  higher  than  Denver,  and  750  feet  lower  than  Colorado 
Springs,  it  has  an  annual  mean  temperature  of  53  degrees,  or  some 
three  degrees  higher  than  both.

Gila  County 

By  A.  W.  Sydnor,  County  Immigration  Commissioner. 

GILA  COUNTY,  with  an  area  of  4,542  square  miles,  almost  as  great 
as  that  of  the  State  of  Connecticut,  has  vast  natural  wealth  that 
with  the  coming  of  more  railroads  and  good  wagon  roads  will  make 
it  one  of  the  most  favorable  to  the  wants  of  the  homeseeker.  Its 
resources,  like  most  of  the  other  counties  of  the  State,  are  varied,  and 
as  yet  have  been  but  meagrely  developed.  The  northern  part  of 
the  county  has  five  mining  districts,  where  the  wealth  of  the  ore 
deposits  has  been  proven,  and  these  are  awaiting  only  more  adequate 
means  of  transportation  to  enable  them  to  rank  first  as  producers  of 
copper,  gold  and  silver.  Here  also  an  immense  cattle  range  affords 
sustenance  to  about  50,000  head  of  live  stock,  and  thousands  of 
acres  of  virgin  timber,  in  wrhich  is  included  large  forests  of  pine,  are 
standing.  This  large  region,  commonly  spoken  of  by  the  people 
of  the  southern  part  as  the  "Payson  country,"  contains  a  rain  belt,  in 
which  hundreds  of  acres  are  under  cultivation  without  irrigation. 
Many  varieties  of  fruits  and  vegetables  are  here  grown  to  supply 
the  markets  of  Globe,  Roosevelt  and  Phoenix.  This  land  is  situated 
just  north  of  Payson,  a  town  of  about  200  population,  located  one 
hundred  miles  northwest  of  Globe,  and  in  the  northern  part  of  the 
great  Tonto  basin.  In  nearly  all  the  valleys  of  this  basin  are  found 
private  irrigation  schemes,  by  means  of  which  numerous  tracts  of 
land  are  made  to  produce  fruits,  vegetables  and  grains. 

Gila  County  lies  in  east  central  Arizona.  It  was  formed  from 
portions  of  Maricopa  and  Final  counties  in  1881,  since  when  a  small 
strip  has  been  added  on  the  north  from  Yavapai.  It  is  surrounded 
on  all  sides  by  stately  and  rugged  mountains  whose  peaks  are  cov- 
ered with  snow  many  months  of  the  year.  On  the  south  are  the  Final 
Mountains  whose  summits  are  covered  with  pine,  and  on  the  west 
the  Superstitious,  Four  Peaks,  and  Mazatzal  Mountains  form  the 
natural  boundaries. 

Gila  County  is  rich  in  the  wonders  of  nature,  the  most  noted  is  the 
Natural  Bridge  on  Pine  Creek,  in  the  northern  portion  rivalling  in 
beauty  the  Natural  Bridge  of  Virginia.  It  spans  Pine  Creek  at  a 
height  of  200  feet,  and  the  walls  of  the  canyon  rise  above  it  700  feet 
on  each  side.  The  bridge  is  of  lime  formation,  and  the  inside  of  the 
great  arch,  250  feet  across,  is  worn  by  water  as  smooth  as  though 
chiseled  by  the  trained  hand  of  the  artisan.  The  top  of  the  arch  is 
nearly  400  feet  wide  and  1,000  feet  long  across  the  canyon,  and  at 
the  thinnest  part  not  more  than  six  feet  through.  Near  the  center 
of  the  arch  is  a  hole  large  enough  to  admit  the  body  of  a  man,  and 
through  this  one  can  look  down  into  the  crystal  pool  below.  The 
climate  is  exceedingly  mild  and  a  wonderful  variety  of  vegetation

exists  there,  trees,  shrubs,  vines  and  plants,  some  of  which  are  quite 
rare.  The  vicinity  abounds  in  fossils  and  shells,  and  wherever  mois- 
ture penetrates  the  rocks  beautiful  stalactites  are  formed.  Beneath 
the  bridge  are  numerous  caves  which  are  lined  with  these  pendant 
cones  resembling  huge  icicles. 

The  famous  Globe-Miami  mining  district  is  located  in  Gila 
County  and  here  are  found  some  of  Arizona's  most  productive  cop- 
per mines.  In  the  early  days  gold  and  silver  were  the  chief  metals 
sought  in  Gila  County,  and  the  mining  of  copper  did  not  commence 
until  the  late  seventies.  Since  then,  however,  the  amount  of  copper 
mined  has  been  constantly  increasing  and  today  the  output  of  this 
district  does  much  to  give  the  State  the  position  it  holds  at  the 
head  of  copper  producing  areas  of  the  United  States.  To  the 
southwest  of  Globe  the  El  Capitan  zone  has  good  deposits  of  both 
silver  and  copper,  and  between  the  Old  Dominion  and  Black  War- 
rior mines,  in  the  Lost  Gulch  district,  rich  veins  of  free-milling  ore 
have  recently  been  found.  Recent  assays  of  ore  from  the  property 
of  the  Lost  Gulch  United  Mines  Company  show  gold  values  to 
almost  $300  a  ton.  In  the  northern  mineral  belt,  including  the 
Mazatzal,  Green  Valley,  Gun  Creek,  Houdon  and  Ellison  mining 
districts,  development  work  is  being  done  on  a  small  scale,  and  in 
the  former  gold,  silver  and  copper  have  been  found.  The  Mogollon 
Mountains  extend  into  the  northern  part  of  the  County,  and  are  said 
to  contain  large  coal  deposits. 

During  the  past  year  wonderful  improvements  of  various  kinds 
have  been  made  within  the  borders  of  Gila  County,  and  here  the 
Good  Roads  movement  has  received  a  decided  impetus.  The 
Ocean  to  Ocean  Highway  will  run  by  the  Roosevelt  Dam,  and 
already  one  of  the  finest  highways  in  the  country  has  been  built 
from  the  dam  to  Globe,  while  the  towns  of  Hayden  and  Winkle- 
man,  both  in  Gila  County,  will  soon  be  connected  with  Globe  by 
means  of  highways  now  being  built  by  convict  labor.  With 
the  building  of  the  San  Carlos  Dam  and  other  improvements,  either 
planned  or  under  way,  the  current  year  will  mark  an  important 
era  in  the  physical  improvement  of  the  County.  Railroads  and  bet- 
ter highways  mean  much  for  Gila  County,  and  the  people  believe 
that  a  good  road  is  one  of  the  best  assets  a  County  can  have,  and 
the  Gila  Supervisors  are  among  the  most  wideawake  boosters  in 
Arizona  on  this  subject.  They  have  been  ready  and  willing  to  do 
their  share  toward  the  development  of  the  State  Highways. 

The  county  seat  of  Gila  is  Globe,  which  has  a  population  of  10,000 
and  is  one  of  the  largest  mining  towns  of  the  state.  It  is  situated  75 
miles  east  of  Phoenix.  Globe  has  churches  of  all  leading  denomina- 
tions, three  banks,  two  theaters,  and  electric,  gas  and  water  plants. 
I  here  are  two  newspapers,  The  Republican  and  the  Record,  the  latter 
one  having  been  but  recently  established  by  some  of  the  city's  repre-

sentative  men.  Globe  is  one  of  the  largest  and  most  progressive 
cities  in  Arizona.  The  next  town  in  both  size  and  importance  is 
Miami,  also  a  very  thriving  mining  town,  which  is  situated  on  the 
A.  E.  R.  R.,  ten  miles  west  of  the  county  seat.  Though  having  had 
but  a  few  years  of  existence,  Miami  has  made  wonderful  progress 
in  every  particular.  Here  are  two  weekly  newspapers,  The  Messen- 
ger and  The  News,  and  the  Daily  Silver  Belt.  The  town  has  also 
three  churches,  two  banks  and  a  theater.  Other  towns  of  importance 
are  Hayden  and  Winkleman,  which  are  also  dependent  upon  the  min- 
mining  industry  and  are  rapidly  improving. 

Between  Globe  and  Miami  there  is  a  good  railroad,  a  branch  of 
the  Arizona  Eastern,  and  excellent  automobile  service,  and  recently 
a  franchise  has  been  granted  for  the  building  of  an  electric  line  be- 
tween the  two  towns.  Between  Phoenix,  the  state  capital,  and 
Globe  is  splendid  automobile  service,  and  passengers  may  leave 
either  place  after  breakfast  and  reach  their  destination  in  the  early

afternoon,  the  route  being  by  Roosevelt  Dam  and  through  scenery 
which  cannot  be  excelled  in  the  country.  The  Kelsey  stage  line, 
which  has  plied  between  Globe  and  Kelvin  for  many  years,  connect- 
ing with  the  Arizona  Eastern  at  Ray  Junction,  has  been  modernized 
by  the  addition  of  several  automobiles,  and  during  the  past  year  has 
not  missed  a  trip.  The  veteran  stage  driver,  "Bill  Kelsey,"  drives 
the  automobile  with  the  same  dexterity  as  he  did  the  stage  coach, 
which  almost  precludes  the  possibility  of  a  mishap. 

It  is  confidently  expected  that  within  the  next  few  months  the 
district  about  Payson  will  be  traversed  by  railroads  and  highways, 
which  will  greatly  enhance  the  desirability  of  this  section  as  a  resi- 
dence place,  and,  all  in  all,  it  is  the  hope  of  the  people  of  this 
county  that  Gila  will  eventually,  because  of  its  many  advantages  of 
resource  and  beauty,  become  the  most  populous  and  wealthy  county 
of  Arizona.

Coconino  County 


By  Edgar  A.  Brown 

THROUGHOUT  ARIZONA  there  is  a  large  amount  of  building 
done  during  the  year.  There  is  a  great  demand  for  lumber 
and  in  the  northern  part  of  the  state,  vast  amounts  of  virgin  timber 
are  found.  The  county  of  Coconino  may  well  be  called  the  home 
of  the  lumber  industry  of  the  state,  as  the  four  greatest  mills  in  the 
southwest  are  located  in  this  county.  The  Arizona  Lumber  Com- 
pany has  been  among  the  great  wealth  producers  of  the  state  for 
many  years  and  has  turned  out  enough  lumber  to  build  as  many 


Babbitt  Brothers'   Trading  Post 

buildings  as  are  at  present  standing  in  the  entire  state.  The  members 
of  the  firm,  progressive,  wideawake  business  men,  have  been  promi- 
nent in  the  industrial  life  of  the  state,  and  have  done  much  toward 
the  upbuilding  of  Arizona.  They  are  interested  also  in  other  in- 
dustries, including  sheep  and  cattle  raising,  and  the  same  interests 
which  control  the  Arizona  Lumber  Company  are  heavy  stockholders 
in  the  Greenlaw  Lumber  Company,  which  has  a  large  mill  near 
Flagstaff. 

The  Saginaw  and  Manisteo  Lumber  Company  has  been  most 
successful  since  it  was  established  several  years  ago  at  Williams,  one 
of  the  progressive  towns  of  the  northern  tier  of  counties.  The  man- 
agement has  been  in  the  hands  of  capable  men  who  understand  both 
the  manufacture  and  sale  of  lumber,  and  the  company  has  been  a 
success  from  the  start.  This  industry  pays  to  the  people  of  Coconino 


\V  H  O     S       \V  H  O 


a  large  amount  of  money  each  year  in  wages  and  for  supplies,  and 
otherwise  brings  into  the  channels  of  trade  a  large  amount  of  money. 
The  lumber  men  and  mill  men  are  among  the  best  citi/.ens,  and  a 
majority  of  them  o\vn  their  own  homes  in  the  county. 

The  Flagstaff  Lumber  Company  is  a  new  concern,  but  it  is  fast 
forging  to  the  front.  The  men  who  have  charge  of  the  mill  are  also 
heavy  stockholders  and  the  large  majority  of  the  stockholders  are 
residents  of  Coconino  county.  The  company  handles  all  kinds  of 
lumber  and  supplies  the  trade  in  a  number  of  Arizona  towns. 

Large  tracts  of  timber  still  remain  uncut  in  the  county  and  it  is 
expected  that  the  mills  will  be  supplied  for  a  score  of  years  from 
the  forests  contained  in  Coconino  county. 

For  years  Coconino  county  has  been  one  of  the  greatest  stock 
producing  counties  in  the  state.  The  sheep  and  cattle  raised  in  that 
section  are  among  the  finest  in  Arizona,  and  many  fortunes  have 
been  made  within  the  borders  of  this  county.  One  of  the  most 
pleasing  features  of  the  county  is  the  fact  that  a  majority  of  the  men 
who  have  made  their  fortunes  here  make  their  home  in  Flagstaff, 
which  is  often  called  the  "City  of  Millionaires."  The  great  depart- 
ment store  of  Babbitt  Brothers,  which  has  been  evolved  from  a  mod- 
est beginning,  furnishes  supplies  to  the  entire  northern  section  of 
the  state  and  the  products  of  their  ranches  and  slaughter  house 
are  used  over  the  entire  state,  the  excellence  of  the  articles  having 
developed  for  them  a  home  market. 

At  Flagstaff,  the  county  seat,  is  situated  the  Northern  Arizona 
Normal  School,  which  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  R.  H.  H.  Blome 
has  increased  not  only  in  efficiency  and  thoroughness,  but  has  largely 
increased  its  membership. 

In  addition  to  its  vast  lumber  industry  Coconino  is  one  of  the 
greatest  sheep  raising  sections  of  the  state,  and  there  a  specialty  is 
made  of  the  finest  breeds.  There  is  also  great  manufacturing  possi- 
bilities afforded  by  the  waterfalls  near  the  Grand  Canyon,  \vhere 
it  would  be  possible  to  generate  an  immense  power. 

Within  the  confines  of  Coconino  are  some  of  the  state's  most  won- 
derful natural  curiosities,  among  which  are  the  Grand  Canyon,  one  of 
the  natural  wonders  of  the  world,  Sunset  Crater,  Ice  Caves,  Lava 
Beds,  and  the  lofty  San  Francisco  Mountains  snow  topped  the  year 
round.  There  also  are  situated  the  cliff  dwellings,  one  of  the  ancient 
curiosities,  and  at  Flagstaff  is  situated  the  famous  Lowell  Observa- 
tory. 

Although  sparsely  settled,  apart  from  the  two  towns  of  Flagstaff 
and  Williams,  the  great  resources  of  Coconino  seem  to  insure  for  it  an 
increase  in  population  and  that  in  the  near  future  the  hills  and 
valleys  of  the  entire  section  will  be  dotted  with  the  cottages  and 
ranch  homes  of  the  new  residents  who  have  come  to  Arizona  to 
carve  their  fortunes  from  this  attractive  portion  of  the  new  state.

Yuma  County 

By  J.  H.  Westover 

YUMA  COUNTY,  one  of  the  four  original  sub-divisions  of  the  Terri- 
tory of  Arizona  ,has  been  almost  totally  dependent  on  mining  and  cat- 
tle raising  as  sources  of  revenue,  but  with  the  installation  of  the  Yuma 
project,  one  of  the  greatest  of  irrigation  projects,  it  is  confidently  ex- 
pected that  its  agricultural  possibilities  will  be  thoroughly  developed, 
and  fanning  assume  the  place  as  one  of  the  county's  resources  that  it 
can  only  where  there  is  the  amount  of  sunshine  and  growing  wreather 
that  Yuma  County  affords.  This  land  in  its  natural  state  is  compara- 
tively worthless,  the  rainfall  at  Yuma  being  only  2.50  inches  per 
annum,  but  supplied  with  abundant  water  by  irrigation,  it  be- 
comes the  most  fruitful  in  the  world.  The  Yuma  Valley  and  the 
South  Gila  Valley  and  the  Yuma  Mesa  are  parts  of  the  Gadsden  pur- 
chase, having  been  acquired  by  the  United  States  from  Mexico  shortly 
after  the  close  of  the  Mexican  war,  at  which  time  the  boundary  line 
between  the  two  countries  was  definitely  and  permanently  fixed.  That 
part  of  the  Yuma  project  lying  north  of  the  Gila  river  and  on  the 
Arizona  side  of  the  river  were  acquired  from  Mexico  by  conquest,  in 
the  war  of  1847-48.  These  five  parcels  of  land,  the  Indian  reserva- 
tion on  the  California  side  of  the  river,  the  North  Gila,  the  South 
Gila,  the  Yuma  Mesa  and  the  Yuma  Valley  on  the  Arizona  side  of 
the  Colorado,  make  up  the  Yuma  project,  or  the  land  which  is  to  be 
irrigated  by  water  taken  from  the  Colorado  at  Laguna  dam. 

The  greatest  development  under  the  Yuma  project  has  taken  place, 
up  to  this  time,  in  the  Yuma  Valley,  that  part  of  the  project  lying  im- 
mediately south  of  the  town  of  Yuma.  This  valley  contains  some 
53,000  acres.  It  extends  from  the  corporate  limits  of  Yuma  to  the 
Mexican  line,  twenty-one  miles  down  the  river,  and  is  bounded  on  the 
west  by  the  Colorado,  and  on  the  east  by  the  mesa.  Practically  all  of 
this  land  is  in  private  ownership.  There  is  some  school  land  which 
can  be  leased  from  the  state,  and  a  fewT  scattered  small  tracts  of  gov- 
ernment land  and  Indian  holdings. 

Since  the  completion  of  the  siphon,  under  the  Colorado  river,  and 
the  turning  of  the  water  through  that  giant  concrete  tube,  June  28, 
1912,  gravity  water  has  been  furnished  by  the  Reclamation  Service  to 
those  farms  and  to  all  others  that  were  ready  to  receive  the  water. 
The  water  is  now  cheap  and  abundant  for  this  valley.  Dozens  of 
farmers  are  engaged  in  clearing  and  levelling  their  land,  and  it  is  be- 
lieved that  15,000  acres  of  land  in  the  Yuma  Valley  will  be  in  culti- 
vation during  the  season  of  1913.  More  land  will  be  brought  in,  year 
by  year,  until  every  acre  of  this  unit  of  the  project  will  be  contributing 
its  part  to  the  fruitfulness  and  prosperity  of  the  valley.  The  Yuma 
Valley  part  of  the  project  will  be  the  first  of  the  project  on  the  Ari- 
zona side  of  the  river  to  be  completed.

The  land  in  the  North  Gila  Valley,  about  15,000  acres,  is  largely 
in  private  ownership,  although  there  is  some  government  land  which 
will  be  thrown  open  to  entry  when  the  project  is  completed.  These 
lands  are  now  receiving  water  from  Laguna  dam,  and  the  development 
of  this  beautiful  valley  is  well  under  way. 

The  lands  covered  by  this  project  are  most  favorably  situated  for 
agriculture,  the  soil  and  climate  being  unsurpassed,  and  the  water 
supply  unlimited.  In  the  bottom  lands  the  following  products  may  be 
grown  with  excellent  yields:  barley,  corn,  alfalfa,  wheat,  milo  maize, 
alfalfa  seed,  potatoes,  onions  and  other  vegetables,  cantaloupes,  Egyp- 
tian and  upland  cotton.  It  is  also  a  most  favorable  dairy  country. 
Figs,  dates,  grapes,  and  various  fruits  are  grown  in  small  quantities, 
the  returns  indicating  that  good  results  can  be  obtained  with  this 
class  of  crop,  and  it  is  anticipated  that  the  areas  now  covered  by  these 
products  will  be  extended..  At  the  present  time  there  is  one  citrus 
grove  of  about  75  acres,  on  the  mesa,  producing  grape  fruit  and 
oranges  of  a  very  high  quality.  Because  of  the  dry  climate,  the  Ari- 
zona trees  are  remarkably  free  from  scale  and  other  kindred  diseases 
which  affect  these  growths  in  less  favored  spots. 

The  value  of  land  in  this  section  has  already  increased  rapidly. 
That  worth  from  $15  to  $50  an  acre  seven  years  ago  is  now  worth 
from  $60  to  $200,  as  people  realize  that  the  water  supply  is  cheap, 
abundant  and  permanent,  and  there  will  be  further  notable  increases 
in  these  values.  There  are  thousands  of  acres  of  land  in  Southern 
California  on  which  are  gro\vn  orange  and  lemon  orchards  and  wal- 
nut groves,  that  are  selling  in  the  open  market  from  $1,000  to  $2,500 
an  acre,  and  that  produce  an  income  that  makes  the  investment  attrac- 
tive in  that  high-priced  land.  The  great  need  of  Yuma  County  is 
capital  and  real  farmers. 

Of  this  irrigation  project  which  is  to  mean  so  much  to  the  future 
of  Yuma  County,  the  following  by  F.  L.  Sellew,  engineer  of  the  pro- 
ject, is  very  comprehensive  and  to  date : 

'The  Yuma  Irrigation  Project  is  one  of  the  results  of  the  Reclama- 
tion Act  passed  by  Congress  in  June,  1902.  Developments  under  way 
and  now  about  75  per  cent,  completed,  provide  for  the  irrigation  of 
approximately  140,000  acres,  16,000  acres  being  in  California,  along 
the  Colorado  river,  and  the  remainder  on  the  opposite  side  of  the 
stream,  in  Arizona.  The  principal  features  of  the  work  are :  Laguna 
Dam,  nearly  one  mile  in  length,  which  provides  for  the  diversion  of 
water  from  the  river  about  fourteen  miles  above  Yuma;  over  400 
miles  of  main  and  lateral  canals,  ranging  in  capacity  from  1,700 
second-feet  to  10  second-feet;  an  inverted  siphon  of  14  feet  internal 
diameter,  conveying  the  water  from  the  main  canal,  under  the  Colo- 
rado river;  numerous  canal  structures,  and  some  seventy-five  miles  of 
levee  for  the  defense  of  the  bottom  lands  against  the  periodic  rises  of 
the  stream.

"The  water  supply  from  the  Colorado  river  is  unfailing;  the  lowest 
known  discharge  of  the  stream  being  2,700  second-feet,  which  lasted 
but  a  few  days.  Seldom  is  the  discharge  lower  than  5,000  second- 
feet  for  any  material  period.  In  freshets  the  volume  rises,  at  times,  to 
150,000  second-feet. 

"The  government  works,  which  control  the  diversion  of  water  and 
its  deliver}'  to  the  farms,  are  of  the  most  permanent  and  lasting  char- 
acter. Laguna  Dam  creates  no  storage,  is  merely  for  the  purposes  of 
diversion  and  to  furnish  the  means  by  which  silt  may  be  removed  from 
the  water  before  the  supply  enters  the  canals,  and  later,  sluiced  back  to 
the  river  below  the  dam.  The  structure  is  practically  250  feet  broad 
across  its  base,  resting  upon  alluvial  deposits  of  the  stream,  except  at 
its  ends,  where  it  is  firmly  connected  to  the  rock  abutments.  The 
down-stream  side  of  the  structure  is  protected  from  damage  by  erosive 
currents  by  a  substantial  apron,  composed  of  rock  from  one  to  two  tons 
in  weight.  About  ten  miles  below  the  dam  a  drop  of  ten  feet  occurs, 
which  is  at  present  accomplished  by  means  of  a  siphon  spillway.  Later 
a  power  plant  will  be  constructed  at  this  point  from  which  about 
1,200  horse  power  of  electric  energy  may  be  developed.  Some  2,000 
feet  above  the  entrance  to  the  Colorado  siphon,  a  waste-way  is  con- 
structed, leading  to  the  Colorado  river.  This  makes  an  advantageous 


82

point  of  control  for  the  bulk  of  the  project.  Control  at  this  point 
also  allows  a  uniform  quantity  to  run  through  the  wheels  at  the 
powerhouse  above,  giving  a  constant  load  on  the  plant. 

"This  structure  was  completed  in  March,  1909.  In  June  of  that 
year  the  annual  freshet  was  sending  150,000  second-feet  over  its  crest. 
The  floods  of  1909  and  1912  are  probably  as  large  as  any  that  have 
ever  come  down  the  Colorado  River,  and  it  is  unlikely  that  the  future 
will  see  them  greatly  exceeded.  The  main  canal,  which  originates  at 
the  Arizona  end  of  the  structure,  provides  for  but  a  few  thousand  acres 
of  ground  above  Yuma,  crossed  by  the  Gila  River.  This  canal  has  a 
capacity  of  250  second-feet,  and  concrete  gates  control  the  various 
lateral  canals  which  receive  their  supply  from  it.  Although  the  bulk 
of  the  land  to  be  irrigated  is  in  Arizona,  the  main  canal  leaves  the 
dam  from  the  California  end,  because  on  this  side  wras  found  the  most 
favorable  route." 

The  cold  wave  which  swept  over  the  entire  Southwest  in  January, 
1913,  and  did  such  damage  to  many  orange  groves,  left  the  Yuma 
orange  orchards  unscathed,  neither  the  trees  nor  the  fruit  having  been 
damaged  in  the  least.  In  addition  to  this  evidence  that  the  orange 
lands  here  are  absolutely  frostless,  this  freeze  demonstrated  that  the 
valley  lands  under  the  Yuma  project  are  safe  for  orange  culture.  Two 
nurseries  of  orange  trees  from  twro  to  three  years  old  and  from  three 
to  five  feet  high,  located  in  the  coldest  spots  in  the  valley,  passed 
through  that  trying  period  without  damage  and  the  early  spring  finds 
them  in  full  fruit  and  flower.

Navajo  County 

By  W.  H.  Clark 

NAVAJO  COUNTY,  located  in  the  northeastern  part  of  the  State, 
about  the  center  of  the  Great  Colorado  Plateau,  was  created  by  act 
of  the  Eighteenth  Legislature  after  one  of  the  most  bitter  fights  ever 
witnessed  in  the  Territorial  Legislature  over  county  division.  This 
fight  was  carried  to  the  closing  hours  of  the  session,  and  was  used  as 
a  club  to  prevent  the  removal  of  the  territorial  prison  from  Yuma. 

Navajo  County  has  an  area  of  9,826  square  miles,  is  about  240 
miles  from  north  to  south  and  about  53  miles  from  east  to  west.  At 
the  time  of  its  organization,  as  shown  by  the  tax  roll,  the  total 
assessed  valuation  was  $370,000,  the  population  about  4,000,  and  it 
carried  an  indebtedness  of  practically  $100,000  as  a  heritage  of  unrest 
from  the  parent  county.  Today  it  has  a  population  of  more  than 
15,000,  a  valuation  of  nearly  $4,000,000,  and  an  indebtedness  of 
about  $30,000.  There  are  1,122,968  acres  of  surveyed,  and  393,363 
acres  of  unsurveyed  land,  making  a  total  of  1,516,331  acres  within  the 
county  that  are  unappropriated,  thousands  of  which  are  the  richest, 
choicest  and  most  fertile  lands  to  be  found  in  the  Southwest.  There 
is  also  plenty  of  water  with  which  to  irrigate  these  lands,  only  a 
small  outlay  being  required  to  build  storage  reservoirs  to  impound 
the  waters  of  the  streams  and  make  a  large  agricultural  section  in  the 
heart  of  the  county.  An  investment  in  any  of  these  irrigation 
projects,  all  of  which  are  feasible,  will  bring  returns  a  thousand  fold. 
The  county  is  simply  studded  with  reservoir  sites  and  abounds  with 
splendid  lands  awaiting  but  the  magic  touch  of  capital  to  develop 
them. 

About  one-third  of  the  county  is  heavily  timbered  with  yellow 
pine,  spruce,  fir,  oak,  aspen,  cedar  and  juniper,  the  first  named  three 
piedominating.  The  stand  of  yellow  pine  is  estimated  at  over 
4,000,000,000  feet  board  measure. 

The  Navajo  Southern  Railway  Company  and  the  Navajo  Lumber 
&  Timber  Company,  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  Arizona,  with 
headquarters  at  Holbrook,  have  recently  made  the  largest  purchase 
of  timber  from  the  Forestry  Service  and  the  Department  of  the  In- 
terior that  has  ever  been  made,  and  are  about  ready  to  place  a  bond 
issue  of  $2,000,000  for  the  purpose  of  building  a  standard  guage 
common  carrier  railway  75  miles  long  to  reach  the  heart  of  the  timber 
belt.  Every  foot  of  this  railway  will  be  in  Navajo  County,  and

the  largest  mills  in  the  southwest  will  be  constructed  to  handle  the 
timber,  it  being  compulsory,  according  to  the  government  specifica- 
tions, to  have  mills  which  will  cut  not  less  than  50,000,000  feet  of 
timber  each  year,  the  cutting  to  commence  within  two  years  from  the 
date  of  the  signing  of  the  final  contract  with  the  government.  The 
foregoing  development  will  mean  the  employment  of  about  800  per- 
sons, and  an  immense  payroll  to  be  distributed  throughout  the  county. 
It  is  estimated  that  the  county  school  and  road  funds  will  be  bene- 
fited to  the  extent  of  $25,000  annually,  as  25  per  cent  of  the  stumpage 
value  will  revert  from  the  government  to  those  funds. 

An  irrigation  project  is  now  under  way,  by  means  of  which  close 
to  50,000  acres  of  land  will  be  irrigated,  and  it  is  thought  that  work 
will  commence  during  1913. 

The  Aztec  Land  &  Cattle  Company,  located  near  St.  Joseph,  has 
several  thousand  acres  of  their  lands  consolidated,  which  they  are 
cutting  into  small  farms  and  selling  on  long  term  payments.  Two 
artesian  wells  have  recently  been  struck,  one  of  them  flowing  water 
five  feet  above  the  surface.  The  company  sells  perpetual  water  rights 
with  their  lands  in  this  artesian  belt. 

Dry  farming  is  now  being  carried  on  extensively  in  the  higher  alti- 
tudes of  the  county,  beginning  about  Snowflake  and  extending  to  the 
top  of  the  mountains,  the  acreage  increasing  every  year.  Much  credit 
for  this  development  must  be  given  to  the  'State  University,  as  the 
experiment  station  established  some  years  ago  near  Snowflake  has 
had  much  to  do  with  the  success  of  the  dry  farmer  in  this  county.

Navajo  County  schools  are  second  to  none  in  the  State,  and  are 
growing  rapidly.  During  the  fiscal  year  1909-1910  the  receipts  for 
school  purposes  were  $25,642.15  and  the  expenditures  $21,291.70; 
and  during  the  succeeding  fiscal  year  the  receipts  were  $30,524.91 
and  the  expenditures  $29,780.38,  which  shows  that  the  schools  of  the 
county  are  enjoying  a  healthy  growth. 

The  raising  of  livestock  on  open  ranges  is  considered  the  main  in- 
dustry of  the  County,  and  shipments  of  cattle  and  sheep  annually  run 
well  up  into  the  thousands.  In  addition,  the  wool  shipments  are 
enormous. 

In  the  northern  part  of  the  county  lies  the  Navajo  Indian  reserva- 
tion and  the  Moqui  (Hopi)  reservation,  containing  quaint  and  inter- 
esting villages  that  attract  people  from  all  parts  of  the  globe  to  wit- 
ness their  peculiar  religious  ceremony  known  as  the  Snake  Dance, 
which  occurs  each  year  between  the  18th  and  the  22nd  of  August. 
But  before  the  positive  date  is  announced  the  sun  must  cast  a  shadow 
in  a  given  place  when  shining  over  the  rock,  and  as  the  writer  under- 
stands it  they  hold  the  dance  a  certain  number  of  days  after  the 
shadow  is  cast. 

The  weird  Painted  Desert  is  another  of  nature's  wonders.  It  lies 
to  the  west  in  the  northern  part  of  the  county,  and  must  be  seen  to 
be  appreciated,  with  its  beautiful,  shifting  scenery.  Closing  the  eyes 
for  a  moment  only  will  cause  all  the  beautiful  scenes  before  one  to 
change  as  if  by  magic.  To  the  east  is  the  wonderful,  awe-inspiring, 
silent  beauty  of  one  of  the  world's  seven  wonders,  the  Petrified  For- 
ests of  Arizona ;  and  to  the  south  the  beautiful  virgin  pine  forests  of 
the  White  Mountains,  the  largest  solid  area  of  forestry  in  the  United 
States,  which  will  soon  be  one  of  the  greatest  pleasure  and  recreation 
spots  of  the  western  country.  These  forests  are  becoming  famous 
for  hunting  bear,  mountain  lion,  wolf,  bob  cats,  coyotes,  deer,  turkey 
and  other  smaller  game,  while  the  festive,  speckled  brook  trout 
abounds  in  the  streams. 

The  Navajo  County  of  today,  with  nearly  $4,000,000  worth  of 
assessable  property,  15,000  population,  with  her  lumber  and  coal  de- 
velopment in  view  and  irrigation  projects  being  promoted,  it  seems 
safe  to  say  will  soon  be  in  better  shape  financially  than  any  other 
countv  in  the  State.

Apache  County 


APACHE  COUNTY,  situated  in  the  extreme  northeastern  corner  of 
the  state,  was  organized  in  1879,  and  in  1881  a  portion  of  the  original 
Apache  was  taken  to  form  a  portion  of  Graham,  and  in  1895  the 
present  County  of  Navajo  was  formed  from  it.  The  first  settlements 
in  this  section  were  made  about  1876,  by  Mormons  from  Utah,  on 
both  sides  of  the  Little  Colorado  River.  The  county  is  a  series  of 
hills,  and  broad,  beautiful,  fertile  valleys  with  excellent  drainage. 
Locations  for  natural  water  storage  reservoirs  are  plentiful,  and  in 
the  vicinity  of  St.  Johns  are  a  number  of  private  irrigation  projects 
which  are  well  under  way,  and  there  are  many  fine  farms  in  the 
county.  It  is  especially  adapted  to  the  production  of  hay,  forage  and 
grains,  and  the  acreage  producing  all  of  these  has  greatly  increased  in 
the  past  decade.  According  to  the  U.  S.  Census  of  1910,  nearly  half 
the  quantity  of  oats  reported  grown  in  Arizona  was  raised  in  Apache 
County.  This  report  also  showed  a  vast  increase  in  the  number  of  farms 
in  Apache.  This  county  is  also  among  the  large  producers  of  sheep  and 
cattle.  The  forests  are  covered  with  a  heavy  growth  of  tall  pine,  and 
in  timber  alone  the  county  is  worth  millions  of  dollars.  Very  little  of 
this  timber  has  been  cut,  and  this  industry  is  yet  awaiting  the  advent 
of  capital  and  the  transportation  facilities  necessary  to  its  develop- 
ment. The  White  Mountains  furnish  the  best  fishing  and  hunting  to 
be  found  in  the  Southwest,  and  annually  a  large  number  of  people 
visit  Apache  County  for  the  purpose  of  enjoying  these  pastimes.  The 
people  of  the  county  are  interested  in  the  subject  of  better  highways, 
good  roads  are  being  built,  bridges  constructed,  and  within  the  past 
year  an  excellent  automobile  service  has  been  established  from  Hoi- 
brook  to  St.  Johns  and  Springerville,  thus  insuring  a  trip  that  is  a 
pleasure,  rather  than  a  hardship,  as  was  the  case  under  old  condi- 
tions. The  county  seat  and  largest  town  in  the  county  is  St.  Johns, 
situated  in  the  center  of  a  rich  stock  raising  section,  which  has  two 
churches,  an  academy,  and  two  weekly  newspapers,  the  Herald  and 
Apache  News.  Towns  next  in  importance  and  size  are  Concho,  Eagar 
and  Springerville.  The  public  schools  of  Apache  County  have  flour- 
ished, and  nearly  every  settlement  boasts  its  school.  Mercantile 
houses  also  exist  in  the  above  towns,  the  most  important  of  which  is 
the  Arizona  Co-operative  Mercantile  Association. 

Scattered  over  the  greater  portion  of  Apache  County  are  numerous 
ruins  of  prehistoric  people.  In  the  immediate  vicinity  of  St.  Johns  are 
ruins  of  two  large  towns  which  contained  probably  3,000  or  4,000 
inhabitants  each.  Near  Springerville  are  others  showing  the  same 
characteristics  as  the  former,  and  all  of  them  display  the  exercise  of 
considerable  engineering  skill.

Mohave  County 


By  Kean  St.  Charles 

MOHAVE  COUNTY  lies  in  the  northwestern  corner  of  the  state  and 
is  one  of  the  four  original  political  divisions  into  which  Arizona  was 
divided.  The  Colorado  River  forms  a  portion  of  its  western  bound- 
ary. It  contains  many  mountain  ranges  and  broad  valleys.  Until 
the  advent  of  the  Atlantic  &  Pacific  Railroad  its  only  method  of  com- 
munication with  the  outer  world  was  by  means  of  the  Colorado  River, 
hence  its  progress  was  slow.  The  county  is  now  crossed  by  the  A.  T.  & 
S.  F.  Ry.,  and  the  county  seat,  Kingman,  is  380  miles  east  of  Los 
Angeles.  Since  its  organization,  in  1864,  Mohave  County  has  been 
the  scene  of  active  mining  operations,  and  mining  is  still  its  principal 
industry,  almost  every  known  metal  being  found  in  the  mountains, 
and  even  turquoise  and  other  stones  are  mined.  Within  Mohave  are 
located  two  of  the  largest  and  richest  gold  mines  of  the  world,  the 
Tom  Reed  and  Gold  Road.  Lands  along  the  Colorado  River,  in  the 
Mohave  Valley,  grow  every  semi-tropical  fruit.  Strawberries  can  be 
raised  every  month  in  the  year,  while  watermelons  have  been  kept  as 
late  as  Christmas.  The  lands  in  the  Wallapia  Valley  will  raise  crops 
of  small  grain  without  irrigation,  and  if  irrigated,  will  produce  any 
crop  known  to  this  latitude.  Figs  here  produce  phenomenal  crops.  The 
climate  of  Mohave  is,  indeed,  delightful.  In  the  mountains  it  is  cool  and 
delightful  during  the  summer  months,  while  the  valleys  are  not  oppres- 
sively hot.  The  town  of  Kingman  was  founded  in  1883.  It  lies  between 
the  Wallapai  and  Cerbat  Mountains,  3,400  feet  above  sea  level.  It  has 
an  abundance  of  good  water,  excellent  drainage,  and  the  best  climate 
to  be  found  in  the  state.  It  has  two  churches,  Catholic  and  Method- 
ist, and  two  banks.  It  also  has  a  large  power  plant.  Two  weekly 
newspapers,  The  Miner  and  Our  Mineral  Wealth,  are  published 
here.  Chloride  is  the  next  town  in  size,  and  Oatman  and  Gold  Road 
are  prosperous  camps,  populated  by  men  of  ability  and  perseverance. 
There  is  much  undeveloped  wealth  in  Mohave's  valleys,  rich  in  na- 
ture's fertile  soil  only  awaiting  moisture  to  make  them  yield  a  golden 
harvest,  and  thousands  of  acres  of  land  that  can  be  readily  reclaimed. 
1  hrough  an  immense  gorge  in  the  northern  part  of  the  county  flows 
the  mighty  Colorado  from  which  could  be  obtained  enough  water  to 
irrigate  all  the  arid  land  of  the  state,  and  there  are  yet  but  few  irri- 
gation canals  in  the  county.  Thousands  of  mines  are  open  to  location 
in  the  mountains,  and  the  valleys  are  rich  and  unsettled,  but  with 
proper  advertising  and  energy  Mohave  would  soon  rank  with  the  best 
of  counties  in  population  and  wealth.  The  county  contains  excellent 
banking  facilities,  and  stores  in  each  of  the  larger  towns,  and  public 
schools  that  will  compare  favorably  with  any  in  the  state.

Final  County 

By  Thus.  F.  Weed  in,  Editor  Blade-  Tribune,  Florence,  Arizona. 

FINAL  COUNTY,  although  one  of  the  smallest  divisions  of  Arizona, 
is  looked  upon  as  one  of  the  coming  counties,  as  nature  was  here  par- 
ticularly lavish  of  her  favors.  Pinal  has  a  wondrous  landscape  of 
mountain  and  mesa,  valley  and  canyon,  with  exquisite  coloring.  On 
the  higher  mountains  are  forests  of  pine,  oak,  ash  and  walnut. 
Through  the  county  run  the  Gila,  the  San  Pedro,  and  the  Aravaipa, 
while  on  hoth  sides  of  these  streams  are  level  stretches  of  land  of 
wonderful  productive  capability  and  endurance.  Then,  too,  large 
areas  within  the  county  are  impregnated  with  all  the  precious  metals 
and  minerals  of  commercial  value.  Last,  but  not  least,  Pinal  is 
possessed  of  a  climate  semi-tropical  in  mildness,  and  unsurpassed  in 
its  health-giving  properties,  with  an  atmosphere  dry  and  pure  in  the 
extreme.  The  total  area  of  Pinal  County  is  about  5,300  square 
miles  and  its  population  over  10,000. 

The  mineral  district  of  this  county  covers  at  least  two-thirds  of  its 
surface  area,  the  greater  portion  of  which  has  not  yet  been  touched  by 
the  prospector's  pick.  Yet,  the  mines  of  the  county  have  yielded  in 
gold,  silver,  lead  and  copper,  a  total  of  $60,000,000.  The  metals 
and  minerals  exist  here  in  both  veins  and  deposits,  and  where  ex- 
plored have  proven  of  great  magnitude  and  value.  As  the  unexplored 
surface  exhibits  the  same  physical  condition  and  the  same  evidences 
of  mineralization,  as  do  those  which  have  been  explored,  it  is  rational 
to  assume  that  they,  too,  will  prove  both  extensive  and  valuable. 

Next  in  importance  to  the  fact  that  our  veins  and  deposits  are  ex- 
ceptional in  magnitude,  and  productive  capabilities,  is  the  character  of 
the  ore  they  contain.  In  this  feature  they  are  also  exceptional.  The 
major  portion  of  them  contain  what  is  commonly  called  "combination 
ores,"  that  is,  ores  carrying  from  two  to  four  metals  of  commercial 
value,  each  in  paying  percentage.  The  usual  metallic  constituent  ores 
in  Pinal  are  gold,  silver,  copper  and  lead — certainly  an  ideal  combina- 
tion to  insure  profits.  Furthermore,  most  of  these  ores  carry  a  suffi- 
cient percentage  of  iron  and  lime  to  make  them  self-fluxing  in  the 
smelting  furnace,  therefore  they  can  be  treated  by  the  fire  concentra- 
tion process  at  the  minimum  cost  of  smelting. 

But  the  mineral  wealth  of  Pinal  County  is  not  limited  to  the  above- 
named  four  metals.  Prospecting  and  mining  have  been  chiefly  con- 
fined to  these  metals  simply  because  few  prospectors  are  sufficiently 
familiar  with  the  ores  of  the  rarer  metals  to  recognize  them  in  the 
field,  referring  in  this  connection,  to  platinum,  uranium,  nickel,  co- 
balt, bismuth,  tungsten,  vanadium,  molybdenum,  etc.,  all  of  which 
exist  here,  but  as  yet  in  undetermined  quantities.  We  also  have  bitu- 
minous coal  measures,  in  an  undeveloped  state,  in  the  Deer  Creek

district,  but  sufficiently  prospected  to  demonstrate  that  they  can  be 
made  profitably  productive.  The  two  great  mining  properties  of  the 
county  are  the  Magma  copper-gold-silver  property,  at  Superior,  and 
the  Ray  Consolidated  copper  mines,  at  Ray. 

In  the  center  of  Final's  mineral  area,  beginning  seven  miles  east  of 
Florence,  extending  thence  south  to  and  beyond  Casa  Grande,  west  to 
and  beyond  Maricopa  Junction,  north  to  the  base  of  the  Superstition 
Mountain  range,  and  thence  west  to  the  Final  and  Maricopa  county 
line,  is  a  solid  body  of  surpassingly  fertile  agricultural  land,  needing 
only  water  to  make  it  as  fruitful  as  is  the  delta  of  the  Nile.     At 
some  time  in  the  unwritten  past,  and  long  before  the  present  type  of 
civilized  man  was  privileged  to  look  upon  this  land  of  promise,  a  very 
numerous  people  thrived  and  prospered  here,  as  is  attested  by  the  yet 
distinctly  visible  remnants  of  their  very  elaborate  canal  systems  and 
auxiliary  storage  reservoirs.     Through  the  center  of  this  great  stretch 
of  fertile  land  trails  the  Gila  River,  with  its  17,000  square  miles  of 
watershed  and  phosphated  water,  entirely  devoid  of  deleterious  sub- 
stances and  enriching  the  soil  at  each  irrigation  by  the  deposit  of  silt 
rich  in  phosphates,  while  through  its  southern  portion  runs  the  Santa 
Cruz  River.     The  underground  waters  of  the  Santa  Cruz  are  suffi- 
ciently near  the  surface,  west  of  the  McLellan  wash  and  in  the  vicin- 
ity of  Casa  Grande  and   Maricopa  stations,   to  make   irrigation   by 
means  of  pumping  plants  feasible  and  profitable.     Probably  50,000 
acres  could  be  reclaimed  in  this  manner,  through  the  organization  of 
pumping  plant  districts,  under  a  district  irrigation  law,  or  through 
the  installation  of  individual  plants.     A  number  of  individual  pump- 
ing plants  are  now  in  course  of  installation,  and  some  in  operation,  in 
this  locality.     Several  are  also  in  successful  operation  near  Florence. 
The  normal  flow  of  the  Gila  River,  at  the  point  where  it  enters  this 
valley,  twelve  miles  above  Florence,   is  sufficient  to   irrigate  perma- 
nently about  25,000  acres  of  land,  according  to  reports  submitted  by 
James  D.   Schuyler  and  John   H.  Quinton  after  they  had  carefully 
studied  and  analyzed  the  stream  flow  tables  compiled  by  the  Geological 
Survey  from  data  obtained  by  daily  measurements  made  during  years 
of  minimum  flow.     All  this  water  has  been  appropriated  by  small  pri- 
vate ditches,  the  O.  T.  canal,  recently  completed,  and  the  Final  Mu- 
tual Irrigation  Company's  canal,  now  in  course  of  construction.     The 
latter  canal  will  have  a  diversion  dam  of  the  Indian  weir  type,  planned 
by  James  D.   Schuyler,  who  is  consulting  engineer  for  the  builders. 
This  canal   system  will   be  built,   owned   and   operated   by   the   land 
owners  whose  land  it  will  irrigate.     The  O.  T.  canal  is  also  a  mutual 
system,   operated   on   the   co-operative   plan,    and   serves   about   2,500 
acres  of  land.      In   planning  the  diversion   dam   and   head-works   for 
the   Final    Mutual    Irrigation   company's   system,    Engineer   Schuyler 
took   into  consideration   the   probable   early   construction   of   the   San 
Carlos  dam,  and  designed  said  works  upon  a  scale  that  will  fully  meet 
the  requirements  of  the  larger  project.     Recent  contour  surveys  of  the

Picacho  reservoir,  now  the  property  of  the  Final  Mutual  Irrigation 
Company,  demonstrate  that  it  can.be  enlarged  to  a  storage  capacity  of 
about  65,000  acre-feet  of  water.  It  can  be  safely  estimated  that  the 
enlarged  Picacho  reservoir  will  irrigate  about  15,000  acres  of  land. 
There  is  no  doubt  that  the  San  Carlos  dam  will  be  constructed  in 
the  near  future,  as  the  government  has  become  greatly  interested  in  the 
project  on  behalf  of  its  Pima  wards. 

The  Casa  Grande  Valley  Water  Users'  Association  has  also  pro- 
jected and  are  surveying  a  flood  water  canal,  from  a  point  about 
twelve  miles  east  of  Florence  to  Casa  Grande  station,  on  the  Southern 
Pacific  Railroad.  It  will  be  seen,  by  all  the  foregoing  data,  that  by 
means  of  canal,  storage  and  pumping  systems,  fully  200,000  acres  of 
fertile  land  can  be  reclaimed  in  this  valley,  if  we  fully  utilize  the 
various  sources  of  water  supply. 

In  the  San  Pedro  Valley  is  a  large  acreage  of  exceedingly  fertile 
land  that  can  be  reclaimed  by  river  and  artesian  water,  extending  from 
Dudleyville  to  the  east  line  of  the  county.  A  well  at  a  depth  of  800 
feet,  near  Mammoth,  struck  a  strong  "gusher"  that  is  furnishing  suffi- 
cient water  to  irrigate  several  hundred  acres,  thus  proving  the  valley 
to  be  in  the  artesian  belt.  The  Aravaipa  Valley,  which  comes  into 
the  San  Pedro  Valley  about  twelve  miles  above  Winkelman,  has  an 
abundant  water  supply  in  the  Aravaipa  Creek,  which  flows  through 
the  center  of  it,  and  all  the  lands  of  this  picturesque  little  valley  are 
planted  to  fruit,  including  navel  oranges,  lemons,  apples,  peaches, 
pears,  apricots,  plums,  grapes  and  all  kinds  of  berries.  Its  fruits  are 
unsurpassed  in  size  and  flavor. 

Owing  to  a  rare  combination  of  climatic  and  soil  conditions,  the 
lands  surrounding  Florence,  and  extending  to  and  surrounding  Casa 
Grande,  wrill  produce  to  perfection  oranges,  lemons,  grape  fruit,  olives, 
figs,  nectarines,  peaches,  apricots,  plums,  pears,  pomegranates,  grapes 
and  all  kinds  of  berries.

Greenlee  County 


GREENLEE  COUNTY,  the  fourteenth  and  youngest  county  in  Ari- 
zona, was  organized  from  the  eastern  part  of  Graham  County,  the 
organization  having  become  effective  January  1,  1911.  Greenlee  is 
one  of  the  richest  and  most  populous  counties  of  the  State.  Its  last 

assessment  showed  a  valua- 
tion of  upwards  of  $12,000,- 
000,  with  vast  improvements 
and  developments  under  way, 
especially  by  the  mining  com- 
panies operating  there.  Three 
of  the  greatest  mining  com- 
panies of  the  State,  The  Ari- 
zona Copper  Company,  The 
Detroit  Copper  Mining 
Company,  and  The  Shannon 
Copper  Company,  have  their 
holdings  in  Greenlee  Coun- 
ty. Although  primarily  a 
mining  county,  a  large  num- 
ber of  cattle  are  raised  in 
Greenlee  County,  and  this 
industry  is  being  gradually 
developed.  There  is  also  a 
large  amount  of  land  under 
cultivation,  and  in  the  south- 
ern part  are  many  fine 
ranches,  on  which  alfalfa 
hay,  grain,  fruit  and  vege- 
tables are  raised,  and  for  the 
latter  the  towns  of  Clifton 
and  Morenci  furnish  an  ex- 
cellent market.  The  Arizona  Copper  Company  has  stores  in  both 
these  places,  and  The  Phelps  Dodge  Mercantile  Company  has  a  store 
at  Morenci  that  will  compare  favorably  with  those  found  in  large 
cities.  Other  good  stores  are  to  be  found  throughout  the  county,  and 
the  banking  facilities  are  splendid.  There  are  also  two  live  news- 
papers, The  Copper  Era  and  The  Duncan  Arizonan. 

For  the  transportation  of  ore  from  mines  to  smelter  the  Shannon 
Copper  Company  has  built,  at  a  greater  cost  per  mile  than  any  other 
road  in  the  State,  a  railroad  13  miles  long,  and  the  Coronado  Railroad, 
owned  by  The  Arizona  Copper  Company,  connects  the  towns  of  Met- 
calf  and  Clifton.  The  Arizona  &  New  Mexico  Railway  also  passes 
through  the  county  and  connects  with  the  Southern  Pacific  main  line.

Clifton,  the  county  seat,  has  a  population  of  more  than  5,000,  and 
is  situated  on  the  line  of  the  Coronado  and  Arizona  &  New  Mexico 
Rys.  Morenci,  the  next  town  of  importance  in  the  county,  has  also  a 
population  of  more  than  5,000.  Both  these  towns  are  dependent  upon 
the  mining  and  smelting;  of  copper,  and  both  have  excellent  lighting, 
water  and  telephone  systems,  all  modern  conveniences,  and  splendidly 
equipped  high  schools,  with  superior  opportunities  for  education.  Each 
one  also  supports  a  Catholic  and  a  Presbyterian  church,  two  banks, 
two  good  hotels,  and  two  hospitals,  the  latter  maintained  by  the  min- 
ing companies  whose  headquarters  are  in  the  county.  These  towns 
are  seven  miles  apart,  and  arrangements  have  been  made  by  the  cor- 
poration which  recently  received  the  franchise  for  an  electric  road  be- 
tween Globe  and  Miami,  to  build  an  electric  road  connecting  them 
within  the  next  year. 

Metcalf,  another  thriving  town  of  more  than  2,000  inhabitants,  is 
situated  six  miles  from  Clifton  on  the  Coronado  Railway,  in  the 
heart  of  the  mining  district,  and  upon  this  industry  its  inhabitants  are 
largely  dependent.  Duncan  is  the  largest  town  in  the  farming  dis- 
trict and  the  shipping  point  for  the  farmers  and  cattlemen  of  a  large 
area.  It  has  a  thoroughly  good  school  system,  hotel,  bank,  several 
stores  and  wreekly  paper.  Plans  are  now  under  way  for  a  highway 
from  Duncan,  on  the  A.  &  N.  M.,  to  Solomonsville  on  the  A.  E.  Ry. 

Greenlee  County  needs  better  transportation  facilities,  and  her 
people  are  working  earnestly  for  better  highways.  The  affairs  of  the 
county  are  handled  by  capable  officials,  its  outlook  is  bright,  and  the 
desirability  of  Greenlee  as  a  place  of  residence  is  constantly  being 
recognized  by  persons  in  search  of  a  permanent  home.

THE  GRAND  CANYON  OF  THE  COLORADO  lies  mostly  in  Arizona, 
though  it  touches  also  Utah,  Nevada,  and  California.  With  its  vari- 
ous windings  and  side  canyons  it  is  nearly  seven  hundred  miles  long, 
and  in  many  places  over  one  and  one-quarter  miles  deep,  while  its 
width  at  the  top  is  from  eight  to  twrenty  miles.  Its  walls,  composed 
principally  of  sandstone,  though  in  places  of  marble,  or  limestone,  or 
volcanic  rock,  have  the  appearance,  when  viewed  from  the  front,  of 
being  perpendicular  while  they  are  not.  They  are  generally  terraced 
in  a  manner  peculiar  to  the  Southwest,  and  cleft  into  innumerable 
buttes  which  seem  towers  and  castles,  and  when  the  sunshine  of  that 
arid,  but  enchanted,  land  falls  upon  their  wondrous  domes  and  battle- 
ments, the  sight  is  a  revelation  that  causes  strong  men  to  sit  down  and 
weep  in  speechless  awe. 

There  is  no  such  thing  as  describing  the  Grand  Canyon,  but  Charles 
Dudley  Warner  has,  in  the  following,  come  nearer  giving  a  hint  in 
words  of  what  one  may  expect  there,  than  has  any  one  else  who  has 
ever  undertaken  the  task  of  description : 

"In  attempting  to  convey  an  idea  of  the  Grand  Canyon,  the  writer 
can  be  assisted  by  no  comparison..  The  Vermilion  Cliffs,  the  Pink 
Cliffs,  the  White  Cliffs  surpass  in  fantastic  form  and  brilliant  color 
anything  that  the  imagination  conceives  possible  in  nature ;  and  there 
are  dreamy  landscapes  quite  beyond  the  most  exquisite  fancies  of 
Claude  and  Turner.  The  region  is  full  of  wonders,  of  beauties,  and 
sublimities  that  Shelly's  imaginings  do  not  match  in  the  'Prometheus 
Unbound'.  Human  experience  has  no  prototype  of  this  region,  and 
the  imagination  has  never  conceived  of  its  forms  and  colors. 
The  whole  magnificence  broke  upon  us.  No  one  could  be  prepared 
for  it.  The  scene  is  one  to  strike  dumb  with  awre,  or  to  unstring  the 
nerves.  It  wTas  a  shock  so  novel  that  the  mind,  dazed,  quite  failed  to 
comprehend  it.  All  that  wye  could  comprehend  was  a  vast  confusion  of 
amphitheaters  and  strange  architectural  forms  resplendent  with  color. 
We  had  come  into  a  new  world.  This  great  space  is  filled 
with  gigantic  architectural  constructions,  writh  amphitheaters,  gorges, 
precipices,  walls  of  masonry,  fortresses,  temples  mountain  size,  all 
brilliant  with  horizontal  lines  of  color — streaks  of  solid  hues  a  thous- 
and feet  in  width — yellows,  mingled  white  and  gray,  orange,  dull 
red,  brown,  blue,  carmine,  green,  all  blending  in  the  sunlight  into 
one  transcendent  effusion  of  splendor.  .  .  .  Some  one  said  that 
all  that  was  needed  to  perfect  this  scene  was  a  Niagara  Falls.  I 
thought  what  a  figure  a  fall  150  feet  high  and  3,000  feet  long  would 
make  in  this  arena.  It  would  need  a  spy-glass  to  discover  it.  An 
adequate  Niagara  here  should  be  at  least  three  miles  in  breadth  and 
fall  2,000  feet  over  one  of  these  walls.  And  the  Yosemite — ah  the

lovely  Yosemite.  Dumped  down  into  this  wilderness  of  gorges  and 
mountains,  it  would  take  a  guide  who  knew  of  its  existence  a  long 
time  to  find  it.  Those  who  have  long  and  carefully  studied  the  Grand 
Canyon  of  the  Colorado  do  not  hesitate  for  a  moment  to  pronounce  it 
by  far  the  most  sublime  of  all  earthly  spectacles." 

One  can  explore  the  canyon  for  miles  around  the  rim,  finding  new 
wonders  at  every  step ;  and  even  though  seated  in  one  spot  a  new 
canyon  appears  every  hour,  as  the  scene  is  ever  changing.  It  is  possi- 
ble to  stay  a  month,  travel  every  hour  of  daylight,  and  not  thoroughly 
realize  the  canyon.  It  is,  in  fact,  a  canyon  in  which  all  the  world's 
famous  gorges  could  be  lost  forever. 

However,  difficulty  of  access  can  no  longer  be  advanced  as  a  reason 
for  Americans  not  seeing  the  Grand  Canyon,  as  the  Atchison,  Topeka 
&  Santa  Fe  Railway  System  has  made  it  possible  to  reach  the  Canyon 
by  rail,  the  round  trip  fare 
from  Williams  being  $7.50,  j 
and  baggage  may  be  checked 
at  Williams.  The  Califor- 
nia Limited,  a  main-line 
train,  carries  a  through 
sleeper  to  the  Canyon,  but 
stop  overs  are  allowed  on 
all  tickets  going  east  or 
west,  and  the  trip  is  feasible 
any  day  in  the  year.  Hav- 
ing reached  the  Canyon, 
one  finds  hotel  accommoda- 
tions that  can  not  be  excel- 
led in  large  eastern  cities, 
the  El  Tovar  and  Bright 
Angel,  and  for  those  who 
care  to  remain  longer,  fa- 
cilities for  camping  trips 
completely  equipped  and  in 
charge  of  experienced 
guides.  There  are  also 
conveyances  for  making  any 

of  the  numerous  trips  .-ibout     

the    Canyon,    all    of    which 

are  to  be  had  at  a  reasonable  rate.  It  is  also  possible  to  reach  the 
Canyon  by  private  conveyance  from  Flagstaff,  but  this  route  is  not 
available  in  winter,  and  the  great  bulk  of  the  travel  is  by  Santa  Fe 
Railway  from  Williams.

The  Roosevelt  Dam 

ROOSEVELT  DAM,  a  dam  of  the  arch  gravity  type,  is  constructed  of 
masonry  rubble  and  built  into  the  bed  rock  of  the  river,  extending  to 
a  height  of  two  hundred  and  eighty-seven  feet.  The  masonry  is  fitted 
into  the  canyon  sides  for  a  distance  of  thirty  feet  or  more,  and  at  the 
base  is  one  hundred  and  eighty-five  feet  thick,  narrowing  toward  the 
top  until  at  the  crest  it  is  but  twenty  feet,  and  the  whole  being  sur- 
mounted by  a  roadway  sixteen  feet  wide  in  the  clear  with  a  stone  para- 
pet four  feet  wide  on  each  side.  The  roadway,  connected  with  the 
sides  of  the  canyon  by  concrete  and  steel  bridges  wThich  span  the  spill- 
ways, is  lighted  by  electricity.  The  length  of  this  roadway  over  the 
spillways  and  across  the  top  of  the  dam  is  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  mile, 
its  one  side  dropping  to  the  water  at  its  various  levels  and  the  other 
dropping  to  the  river  bed  two  hundred  and  twenty-five  feet  below. 

In  the  construction  of  this  dam  it  was  necessary  to  exercise  the  most 
extreme  care.  Every  stone,  some  of  which  weigh  thirty  tons,  was 
washed  under  hydraulic  pressure  before  being  put  into  position.  The 
stone  used  is  hard,  of  close  texture  and  gray  color.  The  cement,  over 
350,000  barrels  of  which  was  used  in  construction,  was  made  on  the 
ground.  Close  by  the  damsite  were  found  deposits  of  shale  and  rock, 
which  it  was  found  could  be  compounded  into  a  first-class  cement, 
after  proper  treatment,  so  a  cement  mill  was  erected  on  the  ground, 
and  manufacturing  begun.  This  resulted  in  a  saving  of  approximately 
$600,000,  largely  because  the  cost  of  hauling  so  great  a  quantity  of 
cement  from  the  railroad  sixty  miles  away  would  have  been  enormous. 

To  build  this  great  wall,  to  put  a  thirty-ton  rock  in  its  proper  place 
with  that  nicety  which  goes  with  good  engineering,  required  consider- 
able power.  So  the  first  work,  after  the  preliminary  surveys  were 
made,  was  to  plan  and  build  a  power  canal  to  generate  electricity 
which  could  be  utilized  to  lift  rocks,  run  drills,  grind  cement,  manipu- 
late derricks  and  cable-ways,  and  do  all  other  odd  work. 

The  engineers  went  up  the  Salt  River,  nineteen  miles  above  the 
point  where  the  big  dam  was  to  be  built,  and  there  built  a  small  diver- 
sion weir  across  the  stream.  This  water  was  turned  into  a  power 
canal,  which  ended  at  a  point  right  above  the  site  of  the  big  Roosevelt 
Dam.  The  water  was  then  turned  through  an  inclined  penstock  tun- 
nel, lined  with  concrete  and  steel.  This  tunnel  was  cut  through  the 
solid  rock  walls  of  the  canyon.  In  passing  through  this  tunnel,  which 
has  a  fall  of  two  hundred  and  twenty-six  feet,  the  water  operates  three 
vertical  turbines  making  five  hundred  revolutions  per  minute.  Here 
is  generated  the  power  that  built  the  dam,  and  that  is  now  lighting  the 
City  of  Phoenix,  seventy-five  miles  away,  also  the  power  used  for 
street  railways  and  commercial  purposes  at  Phoenix,  Mesa,  Tempe 
and  other  Salt  R:ver  Valley  towns.

The  journey  of  the  water  from  the  Roosevelt  Dam  to  its  final  distri- 
bution on  the  land  is  a  story  of  utility.  The  stream  passes  from  one 
power  canal  to  another.  Some  of  these  power  canals  and  tunnels  are 
yet  to  be  developed,  but  all  are  included  in  the  project,  which  is  now 
fast  receiving  the  finishing  touches.  Seven  miles  from  Roosevelt  Dam 
the  water  will  save  7,000  feet  of  travel,  and  at  the  same  time  develop 
3,500  horse  power.  It  returns  to  the  old  river  bed,  and  is  uninter- 
rupted for  about  twenty  miles,  when  it  is  directed  through  another 
tunnel  3,500  feet  long,  where  it  develops  2,500  horse  power  before 
re-entering  the  river  below.  Almost  at  once  it  is  again  taken  up  and 
carried  along  the  rock  hill  edges  for  several  miles  and  then  dropped  a 
sheer  100  feet  through  another  set  of  wheels,  wThich  will  develop  5,000 
horse  power,  and  then  follows  the  river  bed  until  it  reaches  Granite 
Reef  Dam,  where  it  is  diverted  by  a  great  weir,  1,100  feet  long  and 
38  feet  high,  to  the  main  irrigating  canals  on  the  north  and  south 
banks  of  the  river. 

In  the  main  canals  more  power  will  be  developed.  On  the  south 
side  of  the  river,  two  miles  from  the  head  of  the  canal,  one-half  of  the 
water  is  turned  into  the  Consolidated  canal,  with  a  drop  of  thirty  feet, 
developing  about  2,000  horse  power  in  the  fall.  On  the  north  side  of 
the  main  canal,  the  Arizona,  flows  without  interruption  fifteen  to 
twenty  miles,  to  a  point  at  which  about  one-half  the  supply  will  be 
diverted  through  a  new  cross-cut  canal.  The  canal  carries  the  water 
about  four  miles  along  the  base  of  the  rocky  points  to  a  place  where 
there  will  be  a  drop  of  126  feet,  the  water  in  the  fall  developing  3,000 
to  5,000  horse  power,  according  to  the  season.  The  other  half  of  the 
water  of  the  Arizona  canal,  when  it  reaches  the  Arizona  falls,  a  mile 
or  two  awTay  from  the  diverting  point,  will  develop  about  700  horse 
power.  On  the  south  side  of  the  river  there  is  a  possibility  of  develop- 
ing another  700  horse  power.  The  power  generated  will  be  sold  at 
reasonable  rates  to  the  ranchers  in  the  valley. 

It  will  be  readily  seen  that  with  the  great  power  possibilities  of  the 
project,  there  is  in  store  for  the  farmer  under  this  system  of  reclama- 
tion a  large  revenue,  which  will  surely  in  time  not  only  cover  all 
charges  for  maintenance  of  the  system,  but  in  addition  will  pay  him  a 
handsome  return  each  year  for  the  money  he  has  invested  in  his  land] 
The  entire  scheme  is  inseparably  associated  with  the  ownership  of  the 
lands,  and  all  the  240,000  acres  of  land  included  in  the  Salt  River 
Project  have  a  share  in  the  concern,  each  acre  a  share  and  each  share 
an  acre.  The  government  has  expended  about  $9,000,000  on  the 
project  to  date,  and  of  this  amount  about  $3,500,000  has  been  ex- 
pended on  the  building  of  the  Roosevelt  Dam. 

Nature  has  been  very  kind  in  planning  a  field  for  this  project.  The 
land  to  be  watered  is  almost  perfectly  level,  making  irrigation  easy. 
The  course  of  the  water  from  the  storage  dam  to  the  level  land  is 
through  canyons  and  rocky  gorges,  allowing  no  waste.  The  great 


106 


\V  H  O     S      W  H  O 


basin  that  is  created  by  the  dam  is  in  among  rounded,  gently  sloping 
hills,  and  is  of  immense  area. 

The  interior  of  Arizona  is  covered  with  high  mountain  ranges. 
These  mountains  are  mostly  covered  with  timber.  The  snow  that 
falls  in  the  winter  months  in  these  high  places  is  a  source  of  a  great 
water  supply  that  feeds  the  two  streams  held  in  check  by  the  Roosevelt 
Dam.  These  two  streams,  the  Tonto  Creek  and  the  Salt  River,  flow- 
ing the  year  round,  are  the  mother  streams  of  all  the  water  carriers  in 
this  great  drainage  basin.  In  this  basin  are  giant  trees  and  many  won- 
derful nature  works,  natural  bridges  and  beautiful  cliffs  and  mountain 
peaks.  The  altitude  varies  from  1,950  feet  to  11,500  feet  above  sea 
level. 

The  reservoir  lies  like  a  great  bird  with  outstretched  wings,  cover- 
ing the  splendid  basin  created  by  nature,  the  wing  to  the  north  extend- 
ing over  the  spreading  wraters  of  the  Tonto  Creek,  the  one  to  the  south 
covering  the  stored  waters  of  the  Salt  River,  while  the  head  of  the 
bird  is  pointed  to  the  wall  which  forms  the  reservoir,  and  is  built  in 
the  neck  of  the  narrow  canyon  to  the  wrest. 


THE  PETRIFIED  FORESTS  OF  ARIZONA. 
(By  W.  H.  Clark,  Commissioner  of  Immigration,  Navajo  County.) 

THE  PETRIFIED  FORESTS  OF  ARIZONA,  sometimes  called  Fossil 
Forests,  are  located  in  Apache  and  Navajo  Counties,  in  the  north- 
eastern part  of  the  State. 

For  nearly  twenty  years  continual  efforts  were  made  to  have  the 
Petrified  Forests  National  Park  created,  and  on  one  or  two  occasions 
the  Territorial  Legislature  sent  memorials  to  Congress,  the  only  re- 
sult of  which  was  an  order  withdrawing  the  lands  from  entry.  Later 
several  special  agents  were  sent  out  to  examine  the  deposits  and  re- 
port, but  nothing  resulted  from  these  investigations.  Finally  Mr. 
S.  J.  Holsinger  was  sent  out  by  the  Department,  and  in  company 
with  the  writer,  spent  several  days  in  the  forests,  during  which  the 
different  deposits  or  forests  were  named  in  order  to  distinguish  them 
for  literary  and  other  purposes,  the  first  being  given  the  name  of 
Eagle  Rock,  the  second  Crystal  Forest,  the  third  Jim  Camp  Forest, 
and  the  last  Rainbow  Forest.  Although  these  agents  reported  favor- 
ably concerning  the  Park,  and  the  bill  to  create  it  passed  the  house  on 
two  occasions,  it  could  never  be  got  out  of  the  Senate  Committee  on 
Public  Lands.  The  writer  communicated  with  Senator  Hans- 
borough,  then  Chairman  of  the  Committee,  and  was  notified  that  the 
Committee  would  meet  on  certain  dates,  but  not  seeing  the  way  clear 
to  meet  the  expenses  incident  to  a  trip  to  Washington,  he  realized 


IN      ARIZONA 


107 


that  his  efforts  in  this  regard  would  be  unavailing.  Later  on,  taking 
the  matter  up  with  Congressman  Lacey  of  Iowa  and  Senator  Lodge 
of  Massachusetts,  he  learned  that  the  bill  was  being  held  up  in 
the  Committee  by  an  attorney  named  Parker  and  a  Senator  named 
Bern-,  from  Arkansas.  After  some  serious  thinking  on  the  subject,  he 
resumed  his  efforts,  when  it  transpired  that  the  word  "forest"  appear- 
ing in  the  bill,  certain  interests  wTere  determined  to  obtain  timber 
lands  for  those  they  were  to  relinquish  to  the  government  within 
the  limits  selected  for  the  Park.  This  meant  about  30,000  acres  of 
timber  land  for  the  Company,  owning,  as  it  did,  each  alternate  section 
within  the  prescribed  area. 

It  was  not  long  after  this,  some  time  in  June,  1906,  that  an  inno- 
cent looking  bill  was  passed  by  both  Senate  and  House  for  the  Pres- 
ervation of  American  Antiquities,  and  on  December  8,  1906,  Presi- 
dent Roosevelt  issued  a  proclamation  creating  the  Petrified  Forest 
National  Monument,  under  the  above  act,  about  60,000  acres  in 
area.  On  July  31,  1911,  President  Taft  issued  a  second  proclama- 
tion reducing  the  size  of  the  Monument  to  about  forty  square  miles, 
in  which,  however,  he  made  the  same  error  that  had  been  made  by 
President  Roosevelt,  both  having  used  the  following  wording:  '  —do 
hereby  set  aside  and  reserve  as  the  Petrified  Forest  National  Monu- 
ment, subject  to  any  valid  existing  rights,  the  deposits  of  mineralized 
forest  remains,  together  with  enough  lands  to  insure  the  protection 
thereof,  situated  in  Gila  and  Apache  Counties,  Arizona."  The 
lands  are  then  described  by  section,  township  and  range.  The  error 
lies  in  the  fact  that  none  of  the  land  is  located  in  Gila  County,  and 
the  proclamations  should  read  Apache  and  Navajo  Counties.  The 
government  has  made  no  provision  for  guarding  or  protecting  the 
forest  and  there  are  no  roads  except  those  made  by  the  general  public. 

Holbrook  and  Adamana  are  the  only  two  stations  on  the  Santa  Fe 
from  which  tourists  can  make  the  trip  to  the  Forests.  The  latter  is 
advertised  extensively  by  the  Santa  Fe  Railroad  and  recommended 
as  the  point  from  which  to  visit  the  Forest  on  account  of  the  distance, 
as  it  is  within  six  or  eight  miles  of  Eagle  Rock,  and  if  there  remain 
three  hours  of  daylight  when  trains  reach  Adamana,  visitors  may  be 
shown  Eagle  Rock  Forest  and  the  Natural  Bridge,  which,  together 
with  the  scattered  sections  of  trees  in  the  vicinity,  afford  some  idea 
of  what  the  forest  is  like,  but  really  only  a  hint  of  what  may  be 
seen  by  visiting  the  Jim  Camp  and  Rainbow  Forests,  the  largest  and 
most  interesting  of  all,  in  which  the  deposits  and  freak  interests  are 
wonderful  and  almost  beyond  description.  The  Sphinx  Head,  Bal- 
ance Log  and  Broken  Bow  must  really  be  seen  to  be  appreciated. 
These  two  Forests  wrill  soon  be  on  the  Transcontinental  Highway, 
which  will  cross  from  Flagstaff,  through  Canyon  Diablo,  via  the 
Painted  Desert  to  Winslow,  Clear  Creek,  Chevelon,  Aztec  Valley, 


108

Holbrook,  through  Mirage  Valley  and  the  Petrified  Forest  to  Apache 
County.  The  highways  through  Navajo  and  Apache  Counties  are 
fast  being  put  in  shape  for  transcontinental  traffic,  and  a  more 
scenic  route  will  never  be  found. 

One  point  of  considerable  interest  is  the  abundance  of  petrified 
coniferous  trees,  which  lie  scattered  about  like  a  vast  body  of  drift- 
wood along  the  banks  of  rivers  after  flood  time.  It  is  claimed  by 
some  that  the  trees  grew  in  the  locality  where  now  found,  and  by 
others  that  they  were  floated  in  in  early  days  during  volcanic  and 
flood  periods,  and  that  the  various  colors  were  caused  by  heat,  water, 
the  minerals  of  the  soil  and  the  different  classes  and  kinds  of  wood, 
the  softer  woods  being  more  thoroughly  penetrated  by  the  minerals 
and  water  deeper  than  the  hard.  Professor  Ward,  of  the  Geological 
Survey,  states  that  there  is  no  other  petrified  forest  in  which  the  wood 
assumes  such  varied  and  interesting  forms  and  colors,  and  it  is  these 
that  present  the  chief  attraction  to  the  general  public.  The  state  of 
mineralization  in  which  most  of  this  wood  exists  almost  places  it 
among  the  gems  and  precious  stones.  Not  only  are  the  chalcedony, 
opals,  and  agates  found  among  them,  but  many  approach  the  condi- 
tion of  jasper  and  onyx.  The  degree  of  hardness  attained  by  them  is 
such  that  one  may  take  a  piece  of  the  wood  and  readily  cut  his  name 
in  glass. 

There  are  also  a  number  of  ancient  Aztec  Ruins  within  the  Na- 
tional Monument  and  in  some  instances,  according  to  Dr.  Walter 
Hough,  of  Smithsonian  Institute,  the  material  used  by  the  ancients 
in  those  buildings  was  petrified  wood.  The  villages  were  small,  con- 
sisting sometimes  of  but  a  few  houses,  but  a  peculiar  interest  attaches 
to  them  from  the  fact  that  they  were  built  of  logs  of  beautiful  wood. 
The  prehistoric  dwellers  of  the  land  selected  pieces  of  uniform  size, 
which  was  seemingly  determined  by  the  carrying  strength  of  the  man, 
and  it  is  probable  that  builders  never  chose  more  beautiful  material 
for  the  construction  of  their  habitations. 

In  a  recent  publication  Dr.  Merrill  says:  'The  chemistry  of  the 
process  of  petrification  or  silification  is  not  quite  clear.  Silica  is  ordi- 
narily looked  upon  as  one  of  the  most  insoluble  of  substances.  It  is 
nevertheless  readily  soluble  in  alkaline  solutions — i.  e. :  solutions  con- 
taining soda  or  potash.  It  is  probable  that  the  solutions  permeating 
these  buried  logs  were  thus  alkaline,  and  as  the  logs  gradually  de- 
cayed their  organic  matter  was  replaced,  molecule  by  molecule,  by 
silica.  The  wood  has,  therefore,  not  "turned  to  stone,"  but  has  sim- 
ply been  replaced  by  mineral  matter,  mainly  silica.  The  brilliant  red 
and  other  colors  are  due  to  the  small  amount  of  iron  and  manganese 
deposited  together  with  the  silica,  and  superoxidized  as  the  trunks 
are  exposed  to  the  air.  The  most  brilliant  colors  are,  therefore, 
found  on  the  surface,  and  the  smaller  fragments  are  more  likely  to 
be  colored  throughout  than  the  larger.

Arizona's  Greatest  Industry 

THE  following  extract  from  an  editorial  in  "The  Bisbee  Daily 
Review,"  issue  of  March  30th,  by  George  H.  Kelly,  editor,  is  a  concise 
summing  up  of  the  condition  of  the  mining  industry  of  Arizona,  and 
since  prosperity  depends,  in  a  great  degree,  on  this  industry,  this  is  an 
indication  of  general  conditions  throughout  the  state. 

"In  the  mining  industry  of  Arizona  we  find  the  greatest  recent  ex- 
pansion and  prosperity  and  this  satisfactory  condition  is  confined  to  no 
one  district  or  section  of  the  state,  but  is  in  evidence  all  the  way  from 
Jerome  to  Bisbee,  and  from  Kingman  to  Clifton.  The  good  price 
maintained  for  copper  during  the  past  year  has  caused  unusual  activity 
by  those  engaged  in  the  production  of  the  red  metal  and  all  the  pro- 
ducers have  been  engaged  in  providing  newr  plants  and  adding  to  old 
ones,  thus  indicating  a  purpose  of  increasing  their  output  and  reducing 
the  cost  of  production.  A  fewr  years  ago  the  average  cost  of  copper 
production  in  Arizona  was  about  12  cents  per  pound  ;  this  average  has 
now  been  lowered  to  less  than  nine  cents  with  the  minimum  main- 
tained by  several  of  the  largest  producers  at  about  seven  cents,  so  even 
the  low  price  of  copper  eighteen  months  ago  was  not  alarming  and  the 
present  price  of  15  cents  is  highly  gratifying. 

'The  copper  mining  companies  in  Arizona  now  have  in  course  of 
construction  work  which,  when  completed,  will  cost  fifteen  million 
dollars  and  provide  not  only  largely  increased  facilities  but  greater 
economy  in  the  operation  of  mines  and  reduction  plants.  At  Jerome 
the  United  Verde  is  building  an  entirely  new  smelting  plant  at  a  cost 
of  $3,500,000;  in  the  Globe  district  the  Inspiration  Consolidated 
Company  is  building  a  mammoth  concentrator  which  with  the  money 
expended  in  installation  of  mining  facilities,  development  of  water, 
etc.,  will  cost  $7,000,000;  at  Clifton  the  Arizona  Copper  Company 
is  spending  $2,500,000  for  a  new  smelting  plant  which  is  due  for 
completion  during  the  coming  summer.  At  Douglas  the  new  two  mil- 
lion dollar  smelter  being  constructed  by  the  Calumet  &  Arizona  is 
nearing  completion,  while  the  Copper  Queen  last  year  completed  a 
reverberatory  furnace  and  McDougal  roasting  plant  at  an  approxi- 
mate cost  of  $750,000  and  this  year  has  started  another  unit  of  this 
plant. 

"The  mining  industry  is  today,  as  it  has  ever  been  since  it  was  in- 
augurated, the  bone,  sinew  and  marrow  of  the  industrial  prosperity  of 
Arizona.  It  is  in  the  hands  of  competent  men  who  are  a  guarantee  of 
its  continued  growth  and  prosperity. 

"Arizona  is  in  the  heyday  of  its  prosperity,  and  its  people  have 
every  reason  to  be  happy  and  contented."

The  Copper  Queen 

THE  COPPER  QUEEN  CONSOLIDATED  MINING  COMPANY'S  mines, 
situated  at  Bisbee  in  The  Warren  District,  are  among  the  greatest 
copper  mines  of  the  world,  and  the  largest  producer  of  the  four  great 
mines  controlled  and  operated  by  Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co.  Their  other 
holdings  are:  The  Detroit  Copper  Mining  Company  of  Arizona,  at 
Morenci ;  The  Old  Dominion  Copper  Mining  Company,  at  Globe, 
and  The  Moctezuma  Copper  Company,  at  Nacozari,  Mexico.  The 
Copper  Queen  has  been  producing  for  thirty  years,  during  twenty 
of  which  it  was  the  only  producer  in  the  Warren  Mining  District. 
This  District  is  named  after  George  Warren,  who  discovered  and 
disclosed  the  fact  that  great  bodies  of  ore  existed  in  the  Mule  Moun- 
tains. The  original  workers  of  the  property  upon  which  the  Warren 
District  is  founded  were  named  Martin,  Ballard  and  Riley,  who 
built  a  small  smelter  where  the  old  depot  stood,  and  this,  from  the 
day  it  was  blown  in,  showed  the  rich  deposits  that  were  to  be  found 
in  those  hills. 

Dr.  James  Douglas,  now  President  of  Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co.,  had 
purchased  a  few  mining  claims  on  the  mountain  side  above  this  point, 
and  there  sunk  a  shaft.  At  a  depth  of  a  few  hundred  feet  ore  was 
discovered,  and  having  compromised  a  suit  with  the  old  Copper 
Queen  Company,  the  companies  were  reorganized  and  consolidated, 
and  the  foundation  laid  for  the  greatest  mining  district  in  the  south- 
west. Like  many  other  rich  and  successful  mines,  the  Copper 
Queen  has  known  periods  of  depression,  and  it  is  stated  upon  author- 
ity that  at  one  time  the  present  owners,  having  spent  $80,000  without 
permanent  results,  were  deeply  discouraged  and  in  much  doubt  as  to 
the  advisability  of  proceeding  with  the  development.  Luckily,  how- 
ever, for  Bisbee  and  the  whole  district,  another  $15,000  was  appro- 
priated, which,  invested  in  a  sort  of  forlorn  hope,  enabled  the  faith- 
ful band  of  workers  to  discover  the  real  copper  deposits.  These 
mines  are  now  the  main  source  of  wealth  of  the  entire  county,  and 
upon  them  all  the  other  industries  depend,  either  directly  or  indi- 
rectly. 

The  Copper  Queen  now  has  over  100  miles  of  underground  work- 
ings in  its  extensive  property.  The  deepest  shaft  in  its  mines  is  only 
about  1,800  feet,  and  no  development  work  has  been  done  below 
1,600  feet.  The  bottom  of  the  limestone  foundation,  in  which  the 
ores  occur,  has  never  been  found  in  Copper  Queen  ground,  and 
there  is  no  reason  to  feel  that  the  ores  grow  leaner  with  depth.  At 
one  point  very  rich  oxides  and  carbonates  are  being  mined  at  a  depth 
of  1,600  feet,  the  deepest  workings,  while  at  another  heavy  iron  sul- 
phides are  found  within  four  or  five  hundred  feet  of  the  surface.

The  Copper  Queen  mine  was  opened  in  1880  on  a  solid  outcrop  of 
oxidized  copper,  iron  and  manganese,  opposite  the  Copper  Queen 
hotel  in  Bisbee.  The  original  ore  body,  since  removed,  leaving  a  large 
artificial  cave,  gave  an  average  return  of  23  per  cent  copper,  but  was 
exhausted  in  three  or  four  years,  and  the  mine  experienced  many  vic- 
issitudes until  additional  and  far  larger  ore  bodies  were  developed. 
Extensive  bodies  of  high  grade  ore  have  been  found  within  the  last 
ten  years,  and  development  proves  them  to  be  of  great  depth.  In 
fact,  new  bodies  are  being  developed  yearly,  and  the  ultimate  lateral 
limits  of  payable  ore  are  unknown. 

The  mines  show  numerous  beautiful  caves  lined  with  calcite  crys- 
tals and  stalactites,  some  of  which  are  of  considerable  size  and  found 
in  close  association  with  good  ore  bodies.  Rich  oxidized  ores  are 
found  on  the  lowest  level,  and  masses  of  native  metal  ranging  up  to 
several  tons  in  weight  have  been  found  at  considerable  depth. 

The  mine  is  opened  ahead  for  several  years,  but  not  so  extensively 
as  formerly,  the  ore  bodies  being  so  soft  that  it  is  difficult  to  secure  the 
openings  and  it  is  frequently  necessary  to  bulkhead  the  same  in  order 
to  keep  them  intact.  Many  of  the  stopes  are  bulkheaded  throughout, 
and  the  mine  is  timbered  with  square  sets  of  8x8  timber,  an  average 
of  twenty  feet  of  timber,  board  measure,  being  required  for  each  ton 
of  ore  taken  out.  The  ore  is  hand  sorted  under  ground  after  break- 
ing, and  culls  are  used  for  filling  in  worked  out  stopes,  this  material 
standing  remarkably  well.  Notwithstanding  the  numerous  disad- 
vantages originally  encountered,  the  Copper  Queen  is  one  of  the 
safest  of  mines  for  underground  workmen,  because  of  experienced, 
capable  and  careful  management.  Although  as  a  whole  the  mine  is 
not  especially  wet,  the  district  being  drained  largely  by  the  Superior 
and  Pittsburgh,  yet  it  is  supplied  with  electric  pumps. 

In  1908  the  entire  system  of  operation  was  radically  changed. 
Formerly  each  of  the  principal  shafts  was  operated  as  a  separate 
mine,  but  the  five  old  shafts  are  now  used  for  men,  waste,  timber  and 
supplies,  all  ore  extraction  being  done  through  the  Sacramento  shaft. 
The  underground  haulage  plant  installed  in  that  year  consists  of  17 
miles  of  track  on  every  second  level,  from  the  fourth  to  the  sixteenth, 
inclusive,  ore  from  the  intermediate  levels  being  dropped  through 
chutes  and  all  of  it  hauled  to  the  Sacramento  shaft  for  hoisting.  In 
order  to  complete  this  traction  system  it  was  necessary  to  open  many 
new  drifts  and  crosscuts,  which  are  located  in  solid  ground,  wherever 
possible,  as  these  electric  tram  lines  are  the  arteries  of  the  mine.  The 
hauling  system  includes  electric  locomotives  and  side  dumping  ore 
cars.  This  innovation  has  resulted  in  marked  economy  in  operating 
expenses. 

The  ore  mined  at  Bisbee  is  shipped  to  Douglas,  28  miles  distant, 
for  treatment.  There  is  located  the  Copper  Queen  Smelter,  the  most 
modern  in  the  world,  which  is  a  central  smelter  for  the  mines  of

Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co.  in  Arizona  and  Mexico.  These  properties 
produce  a  great  variety  of  copper  ores,  including  practically  every 
grade  found  in  the  American  southwest  and  northern  Mexico,  and 
it  is  possible  by  means  of  this  central  reduction  plant  to  take  advan- 
tage of  the  varied  nature  of  the  ores  in  mixing  furnace  charges.  The 
plant  does  also  considerable  custom  smelting  of  gold,  silver  and  copper 
ores.  The  buildings  consist  of  smelter  building,  power  house,  boiler 
house,  machine  shops  and  foundry.  The  works  occupy  a  site  of  about 
three  hundred  acres,  and  are  served  by  a  complete  Y-track  railroad 
system  of  standard  gauge,  consisting  of  15  miles  of  track  and  reaching 
to  every  building  and  department  of  the  plant.  Construction  of  this 
was  begun  in  1901  and  the  first  stack  was  blown  in  in  March,  1904, 
since  which  time  there  has  been  almost  constant  enlargement,  and  the 
works  are  second  in  size  in  the  country,  having  a  daily  capacity  of 
about  4,000  tons.  The  Company  has  also  a  large  precipitation  plant 
and  is  recovering  considerable  copper  from  its  mine  water. 

Water  is  secured  from  artesian  wells  about  400  feet  deep,  in  which 
the  water  rises  nearly  to  the  surface.  A  large  reservoir  and  cooling 
tower  have  been  built  in  connection  with  the  water  supply. 

The  power  house,  built  of  steel  and  brick,  provides  power  for  all 
departments  and  transmits  electric  energy  72  miles  to  the  El  Tigre 
mine  in  northern  Mexico.  The  power  plant  has  about  twenty  units 
of  various  sizes  and  types,  aggregating  more  than  6,000  horse  power. 
Buildings  at  the  Douglas  works  include  an  office  and  warehouse 
and  a  number  of  dwellings  for  employes. 

The  relations  between  the  Copper  Queen  Company  and  its  em- 
ployes have  been  exceedingly  cordial  for  years.  Efforts  have  been 
made  at  different  times  to  unionize  the  Bisbee  miners,  but  in  a  ref- 
erendum vote  taken  in  1906,  in  which  the  polling  was  conducted  on 
the  Australian  system,  and  no  bosses  or  other  salaried  men  allowed 
to  vote,  the  result  was  five  to  one  against  forming  a  union. 

The  management  of  the  Company  is  superior  throughout,  and 
keeps  thoroughly  abreast  of  the  times,  and  it  is  a  fact  universally 
knowrn  that  this  Company  enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  a  corpora- 
tion with  a  full  and  whole  soul  for  those  in  its  employ.  In  every 
possible  way  is  this  evidenced  in  the  cities  of  Bisbee  and  Douglas. 

With  the  liberality  for  which  the  Copper  Queen  Company  has 
been  noted,  they  have  erected  buildings  and  established  free  libraries 
at  both  Bisbee  and  Douglas.  The  Bisbee  library  is  one  of  the  best 
and  most  complete  in  the  country,  and  occupies  two  floors,  one  of 
which  is  a  free  reading  room,  where  may  be  found  all  works  of 
reference  and  the  latest  magazines  and  newspapers.  The  other  con- 
tains the  library  proper,  consisting  of  10,000  volumes  on  every  known 
subject,  ranging  from  science  to  the  latest  fiction.  The  service  of 
the  library  is  absolutely  free  and  the  librarians  in  charge  most  cour- 
teous and  helpful. 


118  WHO'S    WHO 

The  Douglas  Library  is  conducted  on  practically  the  same  prin- 
ciples, having  also  a  reading  room  and  library  proper,  but  is  not  quite 
so  extensive  as  that  of  Bisbee.  Here,  too,  the  public  is  accorded  the 
utmost  courtesy. 

An  Employes'  Benefit  Association  is  another  one  of  the  excellent 
features  instituted  by  this  Company.  In  this  Association  membership 
is  entirely  voluntary  and  open  to  any  employe,  regardless  of  occupa- 
tion. The  finances  are  administered  by  a  joint  board  composed  of 
officers  and  employes,  the  Company  subscribing  $15,000  annually  it- 
half  the  employes  join,  and  $25,000  if  three-fourths  join,  while  em- 
ployes contribute  2  per  cent  of  their  monthly  wages  in  return  for  in- 
dustrial and  life  insurance.  Beneficiaries  receive  half  wages  if  sick  or 
injured,  and  one  year's  wages  is  received  by  heirs  in  case  of  death  from 
sickness,  and  two  years'  wages  in  case  of  death  through  accident. 

The  Medical  Department  has  an  able  staff  of  physicians  and  sur- 
geons at  both  Bisbee  and  Douglas,  wrhich  is  maintained  partially 
through  monthly  contributions  from  employes,  the  balance  being  con- 
tributed by  the  Company.  There  is  also  a  large  hospital,  provided 
with  all  the  modern  conveniences  known  to  medical  science,  and  or 
which  Dr.  F.  E.  Shine  is  the  chief  surgeon. 

The  Copper  Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company  was  organized 
in  1885  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  New  York,  writh  a  capitaliza- 
tion of  $2,000,000,  shares  par  value  $10.00.  It  is  controlled  through 
practically  the  entire  stock  ownership  by  Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co.,  is 
really  a  close  corporation,  and  has  only  about  fifteen  shareholders. 

The  office  of  the  company  is  at  No.  99  John  street,  New  York; 
the  mine  office  at  Bisbee,  Arizona,  and  the  general  and  works  office 
at  Douglas,  Arizona.  The  officers  are  as  follows :  Dr.  James  Doug- 
las, President ;  Arthur  Curtiss  James,  Vice  President ;  George  Not- 
man,  Secretary  and  Treasurer;  Stuart  W.  French,  General  Manager; 
Grant  H.  Dowell,  Assistant  General  Manager;  Gerald  Sherman, 
General  Mine  Superintendent;  Joseph  Park  Hodgson,  Superintend- 
ent; Forest  Rutherford,  Superintendent  of  Reduction  Works;  Ellin- 
wood  &  Ross,  Attorneys ;  Dr.  F.  E.  Shine,  Medical  Superintendent. 

The  force  employed  by  the  Company  consists  of  more  than  4,000 
men,  of  whom  approximately  2,500  are  at  the  mines,  and  the  re- 
mainder at  the  smelters.  In  addition  to  its  numerous  claims  in  the 
Warren  District,  it  owns  various  properties  in  other  sections. 

One  of  the  points  early  recognized  by  this  Company  was  that  in 
order  to  achieve  the  best  results  it  would  be  necessary  to  have  the 
man  best  suited  to  the  requirements  in  every  capacity,  and  they  have, 
therefore,  gathered  together  in  their  employ  the  brightest  and  brain- 
iest men  obtainable  in  their  several  lines,  each  and  every  one  of  whom 
is  working  heart  and  soul  for  the  best  interests  of  the  Copper  Queen 
Company.

Detroit  Copper  Company 

THE  DETROIT  COPPER  MINING  COMPANY  OF  ARIZONA  is  con- 
trolled through  ownership  of  entire  issue  of  stock  by  Phelps,  Dodge 
&  Co.,  Inc.  The  mine  is  at  Morenci,  Graham  County,  where  is  also 
the  mine  and  works  office,  while  the  company's  office  is  at  No.  99  John 
Street,  New  York.  The  mine,  opened  about  1880,  was  first  worked 
opencast,  but  is  now  developed  by  tunnels  and  shafts.  The  caving 
system,  giving  about  40%  reduction  in  mining  costs,  was  adopted  in 
1909,  where  feasible,  and  the  square-set  slicing  system  is  used  in  other 
portions.  Gas  power  is  employed  for  practically  all  machinery  except 
hoists  and  locomotives.  There  is  a  complete  electric  lighting  plant. 
A  pumping  station  six  miles  distant  raises  water  from  wells  on  the 
San  Francisco  River  to  a  height  of  600  feet,  whence  it  is  fed  by 
gravity  to  the  mill.  A  36"  gauge  railway  connects  the  mines  and 
smelters  with  the  Arizona  &  New  Mexico  railroad  at  Guthrie,  and  a 
tunnel  through  Longfellow  Hill,  completed  1909,  gives  direct  rail 
connection  with  the  mill.  The  smelter  has  one  42x264"  and  four 
54x144"  blast  furnaces,  and  a  converter  department.  Flue  dust  is 
briquetted  for  resmelting.  The  smelter  has  2,000-ton  ore  bins,  sur- 
mounted by  a  steel  railroad  trestle.  The  property  of  this  company  is 
managed  with  great  skill  in  all  departments,  and  is  an  exceptionally 
fine  example  of  a  successful  low-grade  mine.  They  employ  about 
1,000  men.  The  officers  are:  President,  Dr.  James  Douglas;  Vice 
President,  Cleveland  H.  Dodge;  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  George  H. 
Notman ;  General  Superintendent,  Alexander  T.  Thompson ;  Mine 
Superintendent,  M.  H.  McLean ;  Mill  Superintendent,  G.  E.  Hunt. 
The  company  conducts  a  large  department  store  and  an  excellent 
hotel,  and  maintains  a  library,  gymnasium  and  clubroom  for  employes.

The  Globe-Miami  District 

THE  GLOBE-MIAMI  DISTRICT,  Gila  County,  is  now  producing 
annually  about  60,000,000  pounds  of  copper,  most  of  which  is  ob- 
tained from  two  mines,  the  Old  Dominion  at  Globe  and  the  Miami 
near  the  town  of  Miami,  and  when  the  improvements  now  in  progress 
at  these  mines  shall  be  completed  and  the  Inspiration  Consolidated 
placed  on  a  full  producing  basis,  it  is  anticipated  that  one-tenth  of  the 
copper  supply  of  the  United  States  will  be  produced  in  this  district. 
For  more  than  twenty  years  the  Old  Dominion  mine  was  the  most 
important  deposit  of  copper  ore  known  in  the  district,  but  in  1907 
the  Miami  ore  body  was  discovered  in  a  belt  of  mineralized  schist, 
five  miles  west  of  Globe,  and  the  next  five  years  was  a  period  of  won- 
derful development  for  this  section ;  a  new  mining  district  was 
created,  and  on  the  site  of  the  town  of  Miami  with  a  population  of 
2,000  and  rapidly  growing,  there  were  less  than  a  dozen  houses  three 
years  ago.  The  population  of  the  Miami  district  is  close  to  five 
thousand;  and  that  of  Globe,  according  to  the  census  of  1910,  about 
7,000,  while  in  1902  it  was  but  1,500.  Here  has  been  discovered  a 
single  ore  deposit  over  two  miles  long  and  having  a  maximum  width 
of  1,500  feet,  which  contains  also  several  breaks  and  barren  patches, 
and  on  this  have  been  developed  four  mines.  The  Globe  District, 
though  pre-eminently  a  copper  producer,  furnishes  a  small  amount  of 
gold  and  silver,  most  of  which  is  in  connection  with  the  copper  ores 
of  the  Old  Dominion  Mine.  Both  this  and  the  Miami  mine  are  large 
producers  and  paying  dividends  and  it  is  expected  that  the  Inspiration 
Consolidated,  formed  by  a  merger  of  the  Inspiration  and  Live  Oak 
Companies,  will  be  producing  at  its  full  capacity  within  a  couple  of 
years. 

Old  Dominion  Company 

THE  OLD  DOMINION  COMPANY,  whose  office  is  at  No.  99  John 
Street,  New  York,  while  the  mine  office  is  at  Globe,  Arizona,  was 
organized  in  January,  1904,  under  the  laws  of  Maine,  with  a  capi- 
talization of  $8,750,000,  par  value  of  shares  $25.00.  This  is  a  se- 
curities holding  company  organized  to  promote  the  operation  of  the 
Old  Dominion  Copper  Mining  &  Smelting  Co.  and  United  Globe 
Mines  under  joint  management,  though  the  companies  are  operated 
as  entities.  The  Old  Dominion  Mine  dates  from  the  year  1874, 
when  a  band  of  prospectors,  braving  the  hostile  Apaches,  crossed  the 
Final  Mountains  and  located  the  claim  that  was  afterward  known  as 
The  Old  Dominion  Mine,  which  for  some  years  produced  a  high  grade 
of  silver.  When  in  the  early  eighties  silver  mining  began  to  decline, 
attention  was  turned  to  copper,  of  which  there  were  numerous  surface 
indications,  and  in  1881  the  Old  Dominion  Company  was  operating  a

small  furnace  about  one  mile  west  of  the  present  town  of  Miami  on 
copper  silicate  ore  from  a  small  schist  nearby.  This  proved  unprofit- 
able, however,  and  the  Globe  mine  was  purchased,  the  smelter  moved 
to  Globe,  and  in  1884  two  30-ton  furnaces  were  in  operation.  Since 
that  time  the  mine  has  passed  through  several  periods  of  idleness  and 
re-organization,  having  changed  hands  several  times,  but  it  has  been 
a  steady  producer  since  the  advent  of  the  railroad  in  1898  and  a  divi- 
dend payer  since  1907.  The  Old  Dominion  Copper  Mining  &  Smelt- 
ing Company,  its  present  owner,  was  organized  in  1895  under  the 
laws  of  the  State  of  New  Jersey,  with  a  capitalization  of  $5,000,000, 
par  value  of  shares  $25.00.  This  company  had  a  large  debt  which 
was  cared  for  and  the  last  of  which  was  paid  in  October,  1908,  by 
the  holding  company.  An  excess  of  water  in  this  mine,  formerly  a 
sore  grievance,  has  been  converted  into  a  source  of  revenue  almost 
sufficient  to  pay  for  the  cost  of  handling,  the  water  being  sold  to  both 
Globe  and  Miami  for  various  purposes.  The  mine  is  equipped  with 
pumps  of  about  10,000,000  gallons  daily,  and  with  electric  haulage, 
tramcars  having  about  22'  cubic  capacity,  and  hoisting  is  in  three- 
deck  cages.  The  mine,  mill  and  smelter  are  connected  by  a  private 
railway  equipped  with  a  Porter  locomotive  and  50-ton  ore  cars.  This 
mine  was  handicapped  in  the  past  by  lack  of  sulphide  ores  and  the 
company  was- previously  an  extensive  purchaser  of  these  ores  needed 
for  fluxing  the  oxidized  ores  of  both  it  and  the  United  Globe  Mines, 
which  are  treated  at  the  smelter,  but  both  mines  have  since  developed 
considerable  sulphide  in  their  lower  workings  and  the  amount  of  cus- 
tom ore  handled  has  been  greatly  reduced.  The  smelter  has  a  capacity 
of  2,400  tons  daily.  Both  mine  and  smelter  are  in  better  shape  than 
ever  before,  for  which  much  credit  is  due  the  management. 

THE  UNITED  GLOBE  MINES,  which  is  also  under  control  of  the 
Old  Dominion  Company,  was  organized  with  a  capitalization  of 
$2,300,000,  par  value  of  "shares  $100.00.  This  adjoins  the  Old  Do- 
minion mine  and  its  output  is  treated  at  the  Old  Dominion  smelter. 
Improvements  of  plants  and  mining  equipment  are  continually  being 
made  and  $500,000  has  recently  been  appropriated  to  be  expended  on 
constructive  work.  One  of  the  most  notable  improvements  is  the 
lining  of  the  two-compartment  Kingdon  shaft  with  concrete.  A 
separate  flue  and  dust  chamber  has  been  built  at  the  converter  plant 
and  a  new  converter  stand  will  replace  the  three  now  in  use.  This 
mine  is  said  to  have  more  ore  in  sight  now  than  at  any  other  time  in 
its  history,  and  it  is  believed  that  it  will  be  a  producer  for  many  years 
to  come.  It  is  essentially  a  vein  mine,  but  owing  to  the  large  amount 
of  water  encountered  and  the  heavy  nature  of  the  ground,  it  is  impos- 
sible to  block  out  ore  very  far  in  advance  of  mining.  The  office  of 
the  company  is  at  99  John  Street,  New  York,  and  the  mine  office  at 
Globe.  The  officials  are  as  follows:  President,  James  Douglas;  Sec- 
retary and  Treasurer,  George  Notman ;  Superintendent,  George 
Kingdon.

The  Miami  Mine 

THE  MIAMI  MIXE  was  actually  started  December  8,  1906,  when 
J.  Parke  Channing  secured  from  Fred  Alsdorf,  a  mining  engineer, 
and  F.  J.  Elliott,  a  lawyer,  an  option  on  the  claims  that  have  devel- 
oped into  the  Miami.  Mr.  Channing  was  in  Globe  negotiating  for  the 
Inspiration  claims,  but  considered  the  price  asked  excessive,  and  later 
meeting  Mr.  Alsdorf,  he  listened  to  his  proposition,  examined  the 
ground  and  decided  to  secure  an  option  for  the  General  Development 
Company,  a  Lewishon  corporation.  Mr.  Alsdorf  was  placed  in  charge 
of  the  work,  and  for  several  months  results  were  discouraging.  No. 
2  shaft  was  about  200  feet  deep  with  no  sign  of  ore,  and  No.  1  had 
disclosed  only  70  feet  of  two  per  cent  ore,  so  it  was  decided  to  cut  a 
20-foot  sump  and  then  cross-cut  into  the  hill.  At  the  bottom  of  the 
sump  the  indications  wrere  more  encouraging  and  about  ten  feet  lower 
the  shaft  went  into  chalcocite  ore  assaying  four  per  cent  copper.  The 
shaft  was  continued  to  the  720-foot  level  and  extended  through  an 
unbroken  depth  of  485  feet  of  ore.  In  November  the  Miami  Copper 
Company  was  organized  and  development  proceeded  rapidly.  By  the 
end  of  1910  there  had  been  developed  18,000,000  tons  of  ore  averag- 
ing 2.58  per  cent  copper  and  a  3,000  ton  concentrator,  power  plant 
and  pumping  station  had  been  completed.  In  March,  1911,  the  first 
unit  of  the  concentrator  was  started,  and  within  a  year  all  six  units 
were  in  operation.  The  Miami  Company  was  organized  under  the 
laws  of  Delaware  in  November,  1907,  with  a  capital  of  $3,000,000, 
par  value  of  shares  $5.00.  The  capital  has  since  been  increased  to 
$4,000,000,  60,000  snares  of  the  latest  increase  having  been  offered  to 
stockholders  at  $18.00  each. 

There  being  practically  no  waste  in  this  mine  within  the  limits  of 
the  ore  zone,  some  problems  have  been  presented,  the  most  serious 
being  to  devise  a  method  by  which  the  greatest  amount  of  ore  can  be 
extracted  with  the  least  waste.  The  system  devised  for  mining  is 
known  as  the  auxiliary  raise  and  sub-level  stoping  method,  by  which 
60%  of  the  ore  will  be  mined  in  rooms  and  the  remainder  extracted 
by  top-slicing  and  sub-level  caving  methods.  The  mill  structure, 
built  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  H.  Kenyon  Burch,  is  of  steel  with 
no  woodwork,  except  in  the  launders,  and  is  on  a  foundation  of  about 
15,000  cubic  yards  of  concrete.  The  water  supply  for  the  mill  in- 
cludes a  water-right  on  Final  Creek  and  one  at  the  lower  end  of  the 
Miami  wash,  where  there  are  three  wells,  each  producing  500,000 
gallons  daily.  Water  is  taken  from  Final  Creek  by  a  25,000'  pipe-line 
of  14"  diameter.  In  addition,  the  company  buys  from  the  Old  Do- 
minion Copper  Mining  &  Smelting  Company  1,000,000  gallons  of 
water  daily.  The  pumping  station,  about  two  miles  from  the  concen- 
trator, has  electric  pumps.  The  mine  is  served  by  the  Gila  Valley, 
Globe  &  Northern  Railway  with  standard  gauge,  having  an  excellent

average  grade  and  light  curves,  so  that  favorable  freight  rates  are 
given  the  mine  and  mill.  No  essential  feature  of  well  planned  and 
thoroughly  symmetrical  development  has  been  slighted  and,  there- 
for, the  cost  of  putting  the  Miami  mine  on  a  productive  basis  has 
been  much  greater  than  was  anticipated,  a  matter  in  which  the  man- 
agement deserves  credit  rather  than  censure,  as  every  dollar  above 
the  original  estimate  that  has  been  put  into  the  property  has  given  at 
least  $5.00  of  developed  values.  They  have  a  substantial  office  build- 
ing erected  at  a  cost  of  $15,000,  and  the  company  has  built  a  recrea- 
tion hall  provided  with  reading  matter,  pool  tables  and  games.  The 
lands  of  the  company  aggregate  1,122  acres,  partly  patented  and  the 
balance  in  process,  of  which  222  acres  are  mineral  ground.  The 
Miami  is  a  very  large  and  very  fine  mine  and  is  in  worthy  and  able 
hands.  The  offices  are  at  No.  42  Broadway,  New  York,  and  Miami, 
Arizona.  The  officers  are  as  follows :  President,  Adolph  Lewisohn  ; 
Vice  President,  J.  Parke  Channing;  Treasurer,  Sam  A.  Lewishon ; 
Secretary,  Herman  Cooke;  General  Manager,  B.  Britton  Gottsberger; 
Mine  Supt.,  N.  O.  Lawton ;  Mill  Supt.,  F.  W.  Solomon. 

The  Inspiration  Consolidated 

THE  INSPIRATION  CONSOLIDATED  MINING  COMPANY  was  formed 
early  in  the  year  1912  by  the  merging  of  the  Inspiration  Mining  Com- 
pany and  the  Live  Oak  Development  Company,  both  of  which  had 
been  in  course  of  development  for  several  years.  The  former  had 
been  organized  under  the  laws  of  Maine  in  1909  with  a  capitalization 
of  $10,000,000,  issuing  1,000,000  shares  of  stock  at  a  par  value  of 
$10.00  a  share;  and  the  latter  was  organized  under  the  lawrs  of  Ari- 
zona with  a  capitalization  of  $500,000,  issuing  50,000  shares  of  stock 
at  a  par  value  of  $10.00  a  share.  Both  mines  are  situated  in  the 
Globe-Miami  District. 

At  the  time  of  the  organization  of  The  Inspiration  Copper  Com- 
pany the  property  consisted  of  twenty-five  claims.  The  Taylor  group 
of  seven  claims  was  acquired  about  a  month  later,  and  the  Black 
Copper  group  of  eight  claims,  formerly  owned  by  the  Arizona  Banner 
Copper  Company,  about  six  months  later  after  having  been  held  under 
bond  by  The  Inspiration  Copper  Mining  Company  for  a  number  of 
months.  The  total  area  of  mineral  lands  then  aggregated  about  500 
acres.  On  these  various  groups  of  claims  considerable  development 
work  had  been  done  before  they  became  part  of  The  Inspiration  prop- 
erty. Part  of  this  development  was  done  by  underground  shaft,  part 
by  churn  drilling,  and  by  the  end  of  the  year  1911  there  had  been 
developed  in  them  a  total  of  45,000,000  tons  of  ore  averaging  about 
two  per  cent  copper. 

A  period  of  vast  development  and  construction  work,  which  will 
involve  the  expenditure  of  about  $7,000,000,  in  about  two  years,  was 
begun  soon  after  the  merger  of  the  two  companies  was  completed.

This  includes  three  development  and  two  main  working  shafts  and 
the  opening  of  the  first  haulage  level.  Many  miles  of  drifts  and 
levels  will  also  be  necessary  to  bring  the  mine  to  the  point  of  produc- 
tion. Plans  were  also  drawn  for  a  7,500-ton  concentrator,  power 
plant,  railroads,  shops,  etc.,  on  all  of  which  construction  will  proceed 
as  rapidly  as  possible. 

The  Company  has  valuable  water  rights  covering  the  junctions 
of  Final  and  Miami  Creeks;  a  water  supply  dam  is  completed  across 
Final  Creek,  and  a  pumping  plant  is  being  erected. 

The  Live  Oak  property  was  first  located  by  a  man  named  Marshall 
in  1890.  It  was  later  acquired  by  Forrest  Kaldenbery,  who  assigned 
it  to  the  Live  Oak  Copper  Mining  &  Smelting  Company  and  operated 
by  the  latter  until  1908,  when  it  was  taken  over  by  the  Hovland  & 
Smith  interests  and  The  Live  Oak  Development  Company.  While  it 


Inspiration   Camp   near  Miami,   Arizona 

was  in  control  of  The  Live  Oak  Copper  Mining  &  Smelting  Com- 
pany, over  $600,000  worth  of  ore  was  produced,  the  greater  part  of 
which  was  shipped  to  the  Old  Dominion  Smelter  at  Globe. 

During  this  same  period  of  development  a  tunnel  500  feet  long,  now 
known  as  the  Sulphite  Tunnel,  was  driven  from  the  south  end  of  the 
Copper  Springs  claim  in  the  direction  of  the  vertical  shaft,  the  origi- 
nal purpose  of  which  was  to  cut  several  veins  of  high  grade  sulphide 
ore  which  outcrops  on  the  surface,  and  from  its  portal  to  its  face,  this 
tunnel  wras  driven  through  altered  schist  sprinkled  throughout  with 
chalcocite  ore  similar  to  the  ores  of  the  Miami,  Inspiration  and  Key- 
stone mines.  After  The  Live  Oak  Development  Company  took  over 
the  property  the  vertical  shaft  was  continued  to  a  depth  of  281  feet, 
and  at  the  200  foot  level  sulphides  were  encountered.

The  Inspiration  Consolidated  Copper  Company,  capitalized  at  $30,- 
000,000,  is  at  present  employing  about  700  men,  with  the  number 
steadily  increasing,  and  it  is  estimated  that  the  mine,  when  in  full 
operation,  will  be  able  to  produce  about  7,000,000  pounds  of  copper  a 
year. 

Mr.  William  B.  Thompson,  of  the  Gunn-Thompson  Company,  is 
president;  Mr.  Charles  E.  Mills,  for  some  years  in  a  similar  position 
with  the  Detroit  Copper  Mining  Company  of  Arizona,  at  Morenci, 
is  general  manager ;  Dr.  L.  D.  Ricketts  is  consulting  engineer,  and 
Mr.  T.  R.  Drummond  is  superintendent. 

By  means  of  the  untiring  efforts  of  its  capable  officials,  it  is  no  ex- 
aggeration to  say  The  Inspiration  Consolidated  Mining  Company 
will  eventually  be  one  of  the  largest  and  best  paying  mining  projects 
in  Arizona. 

The  Shattuck-Arizona  Copper  Co. 

THE  SHATTUCK-ARIZONA  COPPER  Co.  mine  lies  in  the  northeast- 
ern portion  of  the  Bisbee  camp,  and  consists  of  eight  claims  patented, 
with  an  area  of  about  120  acres.  Development  was  begun  here  in 
August,  1904,  and  shipment  of  ore  in  September,  1906.  In  November, 
1907,  however,  work  was  stopped  for  a  time  owing  to  the  panic,  but 
was  resumed  in  1908  and  production  has  since  been  continuous. 
Owing  to  the  rugged  topography  of  the  lands  tunneling  is  imprac- 
ticable, neighboring  properties  holding  all  tunnel  sites,  hence  develop- 
ment is  by  shaft.  Ores  are  mainly  oxidized,  with  some  sulphides  at 
depth.  The  property  is  equipped  to  produce  about  1,000  tons  daily.  The 
Shattuck-Arizona  has  been  the  highest  grade  producer  of  any  large  cop- 
per mine  of  the  world,  and  possibly  also  the  lowest  cost  producer.  For  a 
time  the  Company  pursued  the  policy  of  extracting  only  the  highest 
grade  ores,  which  in  1910  gave  the  phenomenal  average  return  of  about 
17%  copper,  leaving  an  immensely  greater  tonnage  of  ore  of  much 
lower  average  grade  unstoped  in  the  mine.  Ores  are  shipped  from  this 
mine  to  smelters  at  Douglas.  The  buildings  of  the  Company  include 
a  carpenter  shop,  smithy,  boiler  house,  engine  house,  warehouse,  saw- 
mill, and  changing  house  with  accommodation  for  200  men. 

The  Shattuck-Arizona  Company  was  organized  March  22,  1904, 
under  the  laws  of  Arizona,  with  a  capitalization  of  $3,500,000,  shares 
$10.00  par,  non-assessable  and  fully  issued.  This  company  is  closely 
connected  in  ownership  and  management  with  the  Denn-Arizona 
Mining  Co.  The  main  office  of  the  Company  is  at  Duluth,  Minne- 
sota, and  the  mine  office  at  Bisbee,  Arizona.  The  officers  are  Thomas 
Bardon,  president;  A.  Guthrie,  vice  president;  Archibald  M.  Chis- 
holm,  secretary  and  treasurer;  Lemuel  G.  Shattuck,  managing  direc- 
tor; Norman  E.  La  Mond,  assistant  secretary;  A.  B.  W.  Hodges,  con- 
sulting engineer;  and  John  Olson,  superintendent.  The  stock  of  the 
Company  is  listed  on  the  Boston  Stock  Exchange.

The  United  Verde  Mine 

THE  UNITED  VERDE  MINE  is  situated  on  the  north  slope  of  one  of 
the  principal  mountains  of  the  Black  Hills  Range,  about  five  miles 
from  the  Verde  River.  The  United  Verde  Copper  Company  was  or- 
ganized under  the  laws  of  New  York,  and  re-organized  in  1889 
under  the  laws  of  West  Virginia  with  a  capitalization  of  $3,000,000. 
It  is  practically  a  close  corporation  and  controlled  through  stock 
ownership  by  Senator  William  A.  Clark.  Many  of  the  stories  writ- 
ten of  this  property,  wThich  have  aided  in  making  it  world  famous, 
have  been  but  a  perversion  of  facts  caused  by  a  desire  to  create  the 
impression  that  Senator  Clark  was  receiving  the  greatest  income  of 
any  man  in  the  world  through  its  output ;  and  while  the  property 
merits  all  of  the  renown  which  it  has  attained,  the  history  of  the 
United  Verde  has  not  been  an  example  of  blind  luck,  but  a  gradual 
development  by  means  of  a  liberal  expenditure  of  money  and  a  liberal 
application  of  brains  and  judgment.  The  credit  for  its  success  is, 
therefore,  due  to  Senator  Clark,  and  not  to  the  Goddess  of  Chance. 

The  first  location  made  in  the  district  was  the  Verde  Mine,  which 
is  now  the  property  of  the  Verde  Queen  Copper  Company.  This  was 
located  by  the  famous  scout,  Al  Seiber,  in  the  early  eighties,  was  held 
by  him  several  years  and  then  became  the  property  of  Dan  Mar,  a 
farmer,  who  later  disposed  of  the  same  to  the  present  company.  In 
1883  the  original  United  Verde  Company  was  organized  and  began 
active  operations  at  once,  installing  a  thirty-ton  copper  furnace.  In 
spite  of  the  fact  that  coal  and  coke  for  the  furnace  had  to  be  hauled 
from  Ash  Fork,  a  distance  of  75  miles,  twro  dividends  of  $37,500  and 
$25,000  respectively,  wrere  declared.  The  next  year  the  majority  of 
the  stock  was  placed  in  escrow  by  the  company  under  lease  and  bond 
to  Senator  Clark,  and  before  the  expiration  of  the  option  the  bond 
was  satisfied  by  Senator  Clark,  who,  recognizing  its  value,  began  to 
acquire  the  outstanding  stock  as  rapidly  as  possible.  Senator  Clark 
gained  control  of  the  property  in  1888,  since  when  its  development 
has  steadily  increased,  and  the  plant  has  grown  from  the  thirty-ton 
smelter  to  the  ponderous  furnaces  of  today. 

A  large  portion  of  the  power  used  in  operating  the  United  Verde 
Mine  is  purchased  from  the  Arizona  Power  Company  and  transmit- 
ted a  distance  of  38  miles,  under  pressure  of  40,000  volts,  3-phase, 
60-cycle,  stepped  down  and  converted  in  the  Power  Company's  sub- 
station, and  delivered  on  the  Copper  Company's  switchboard  at  2,300 
volts  AC,  and  250  volts  DC.  The  switchboard  is  built  in  two  sec- 
tions, and  has  19  panels  equipped  with  the  necessary  apparatus  to 
control,  not  only  the  power  and  lights  used  in  the  plant,  but  also  the 
power  and  lights  used  in  the  city  of  Jerome. 

Modern  shops,  equipped  with  necessary  tools  for  doing  all  repair 
work  for  the  mine,  smelter  and  railroad  are  conveniently  located. 

The  smelter  building  is  80'x400',  and  contains  one  blast  furnace 


IX      ARIZONA 


131 


56'xl80'  with  14'  settler,  and  three  blast  furnaces  48'x240'  with  16' 
settlers,  all  fitted  with  hot  blast  pipes.  In  the  converter  line  there 
are  four  stands  93'xl38',  barrel  type  shells,  electrically  operated. 
There  is  also  one  Knudsen  furnace. 

In  this  building  there  are  also  two  40-ton  and  two  50-ton  electric 
traveling  cranes  that  traverse  the  full  length  of  the  building,  and  are 
used  for  handling  the  converter,  matte,  and  slag  ladles.  All  the  fur- 
naces are  connected  to  the  main  dust  flue,  which  runs  the  full  length 
of  the  smelter  building.  Near  the  center  of  this  flue  is  located  the 
main  down-take  leading  to  a  large  brick  dust  chamber,  where  the 
dust  settles  from  the  escaping  gases.  From  the  dust  chamber  the 
gases  are  carried  to  the  main  stack,  which  is  built  of  steel,  is  20  feet 
in  diameter  and  165  feet  high.  The  smelter  building  is  also  fitted 
with  the  necessary  blast  pipes  for  the  furnaces  and  converters,  also 
water  pipes  and  pipes  for  compressed  air. 

The  ore  for  the  smelter  upon  arriving  at  the  surface  at  the  shaft  is 
dumped  directly  into  the  main  storage  bins,  from  which  it  is  loaded 
into  the  furnace  feed  cars  and  taken  by  electric  locomotives  to  the 
feed  floors,  and  dumped  into  the  furnaces  by  means  of  air  lifts. 

The  water  supply  is  piped  from  various  springs  south  of  Jerome, 
the  farthest  being  16  miles.  It  flows  by  gravity  and  is  distributed 
along  the  various  tanks  about  the  plant  aggregating  a  storage  capacity 
of  435,000  gallons.  The  works  are  secured  from  fire  by  a  first  class 
system  of  water  mains.  Numerous  hose  houses  are  located  about  the 
plant,  sufficiently  equipped  for  all  purposes. 

The  mines,  smelter  and  city  of  Jerome  are  connected  with  the  main 
line  of  the  Santa  Fe,  Prescott  &  Phoenix  Railroad  at  Jerome  Junc- 
tion by  the  United  Verde  &  Pacific  Railroad,  which  consists  of  26 
miles  of  narrow  gauge  line  traversing  a  very  difficult  country,  and 
the  scenic  effects  which  greet  the  eye  of  the  visitor  as  the  train  winds 
round  the  sharp  curves  approaching  Jerome  are  decidedly  spectacular. 
The  rolling  equipment  of  this  road  consists  of  eight  mogul  type,  nar- 
row gauge  locomotives  equipped  for  burning  fuel  oil;  five  passenger 
cars  and  144  freight  cars  of  various  kinds,  including  box,  flat,  oil, 
coal,  coke,  and  rock  cars. 

The  United  Verde  mine  is  worked  from  vertical  shafts,  of  which 
there  are  four,  ranging  in  depth  from  300  to  1,500  feet.  Where  the 
ore  comes  to  the  surface  it  is  worked  from  open  cuts.  There  are  also 
adits  which  connect  the  main  workings  on  the  300,  500  and  1,000  foot 
levels.  There  are  copper  precipitating  flumes  outside  on  these  levels. 

The  1,000  tunnel,  which  is  6,593  feet  long,  seven  and  one-half  feet 
high  and  eight  feet  wide,  is  now  used  for  drainage  and  ventilation. 
It  was  driven  for  this  purpose  as  well  as  for  a  main  haulage  way  for 
the  ores  for  the  new  smelter. 

A  large  area  of  the  old  workings  is  in  the  fire  district,  and  except 
where  work  is  being  carried  on  in  this  district  it  is  bulkheaded  from 
the  remainder  of  the  mine.  A  portion  of  it  is  being  worked  from  the 


I  N      A  RI  Z  O  N  A  133 

300  and  400  levels.  The  ground  in  and  about  these  places  is  badly 
broken  up,  and  fans  are  used  to  force  back  the  gas  and  sufficiently  cool 
the  place  so  that  good  results  can  be  obtained.  There  are  about  15 
miles  of  workings  open  at  the  present  time.  There  are  about  550 
men  employed,  and  the  tonnage  is  about  1,000  tons  a  day. 

New  Smelter:  In  the  Verde  Valley,  at  Clarkdale,  approximately 
six  miles  from  the  present  smelter  site,  and  connected  with  the  mine 
at  the  1000-foot  level  by  the  Verde  Tunnel  and  Smelter  Railroad,  a 
new  smelter  of  approximately  3,000  tons  daily  capacity  is  in  course  of 
erection.  It  is  the  intention  to  make  the  new  smelter  thoroughly 
modern  in  every  detail.  In  general,  the  equipment  at  the  new  smelter 
will  consist  of:  Four  48x26  ft.  blast  furnaces;  three  19x100  ft.  re- 
verberatory  furnaces;  five  12  ft.  converters;  large  receiving  and  stor- 
age bins  for  ore  and  coke ;  sampling  mill,  thoroughly  equipped  with 
the  latest  machinery  for  this  class  of  work ;  dust  chambers,  stacks  and 
ore  handling  system,  etc.,  designed  according  to  the  latest  engineering 
practice. 

The  shops  will  be  equipped  with  modern  machinery.  The  ware- 
house and  main  buildings  will  be  steel  structures,  designed  with  a 
liberal  allowance  of  operating  space.  Approximately  10,000,000 
brick  and  8.000  tons  of  steel  will  be  used  'n  the  construction  of  this 
plant.  A  modern  brick  plant  to  make  the  brick  is  in  the  course  of 
construction.  The  material  will  be  handled  in  and  around  the  plant 
by  a  modern  industrial  system,  including  the  latest  design  of  electric 
locomotives,  conveyors,  trams,  etc. 

The  townsite  of  Clarkdale  will  be  controlled  by  the  Copper  Com- 
pany. It  has  been  laid  out  on  strictly  modern,  and  sanitary  lines. 
The  buildings  have  been  carefully  designed  with  due  regard  to  cli- 
matic conditions,  etc.  The  fire  and  water  supply  system  has  received 
careful  attention.  A  40,000  volt  transmission  line,  connected  with 
the  Arizona  Power  Company's  mains  supplies  the  necessary  power  for 
construction  requirements. 

The  bulk  of  the  power  for  operating  the  smelter  will  be  supplied 
from  waste  heat  boilers,  connected  to  the  reverberatory  furnaces. 

The  new  smelter  and  townsite  are  connected  with  standard  guage 
Verde  Valley  Railroad,  running  up  the  Verde  Valley,  a  distance  of 
40  miles,  and  connecting  with  the  Santa  Fe,  Prescott  &  Phoenix  Rail- 
road at  Cedar  Glade.  This  gives  the  new  townsite  and  smelter  a 
decided  advantage  in  transportation  facilities  over  the  old  smelter  and 
Jerome  narrow  gauge  connection. 

The  business  office  of  the  United  Verde  Company  is  at  No.  20  Ex- 
change Place,  New  York  City,  and  the  mines  and  works  offices  at 
Jerome,  Arizona.  The  officers  are :  Honorable  W.  A.  Clark,  Presi- 
dent ;  James  A.  McDonald,  Vice  President ;  J.  H.  Anderson,  Secre- 
tary;  H.  H.  St.  Clair,  Treasurer;  Will  L.  Clark,  Manager  for 
Arizona.

The  Ray  Consolidated 

RAY  CONSOLIDATED  COPPER  MIXES,  situated  at  Ray,  Pinal 
County,  is  one  of  the  greatest  mines  in  the  entire  country  in  point  of 
production.  It  employs  between  1,600  and  1,700  men,  and  has  an 
average  monthly  payroll  of  $135,000.  The  total  area  of  mining  lands 
owned  by  the  Company  approximates  2,000  acres  at  Ray,  almost  all 
of  which  is  patented,  and  in  addition  to  this  they  control  under  long 
lease  certain  surface  areas  adjacent  to  the  settlement  of  Mexican  em- 
ployes known  as  Sonoratown.  At  Hayden,  where  the  mill  and  smelter 
is  located,  they  own  about  4,000  acres  situated  in  Gila  and  Pinal 
Counties,  and  additional  holdings  which  include  the  townsite  of  Kel- 
vin, eighteen  patented  millsites,  in  area  about  87  acres,  and  twenty- 
one  unpatented  millsites,  in  area  about  105  acres. 

The  Ray  Consolidated  Copper  Mining  Company  was  organized 
in  May,  1907,  under  the  laws  of  Maine,  with  a  capitalization  of 
$6,000,000,  which  has  been  increased  several  times  and  now  amounts 
to  $12,000,000.  The  par  value  of  shares  is  $10.00.  A  $3,000,000 
issue  of  6  per  cent  convertible  bonds  was  authorized  July  1,  1907,  but 
has  been  recalled  by  conversion  into  stock.  They  later  absorbed  the 
Gila  Copper  Company,  through  exchange  of  stock,  giving  one  share 
for  three,  and  through  the  purchase  in  1911  of  the  real  assets  of 
the  Gila  Copper  Company  in  process  of  liquidation.  During  the  past 
year  they  have  secured  an  important  acquisition  in  the  property  of 
the  Ray  Central  Mining  Company,  which  lies  in  the  same  district. 
This  group  also  was  absorbed  by  means  of  a  stock  transaction,  and  is 
estimated  to  contain  600,000  tons  of  copper  ore  averaging  5  per  cent. 
The  Ray  &  Gila  Valley  Railroad,  which  is  owned  by  this  Company, 
connects  the  town  of  Ray  with  Kelvin  and  Ray  Junction,  and  joins 
the  Arizona  Eastern  at  the  latter  point.  During  the  past  year  the 
line  has  been  extended  to  No.  2  shaft,  and  a  permanent  station  estab- 
lished near  that  point  for  the  convenience  of  the  town  of  Ray.  An- 
other branch  extends  from  a  point  on  the  Arizona  Eastern  to  the  mill 
at  Hayden,  a  distance  of  about  three  miles.  The  total  trackage,  in- 
cluding sidings,  is  about  sixteen  miles,  the  main  line  to  the  two 
branches  being  about  ten  miles.  The  present  equipment  of  the  line 
consists  of  three  locomotives,  one  hundred  twenty  60-ton  steel  ore 
cars,  and  the  small  amount  of  equipment  necessary  for  passengers 
and  commercial  freight  business.  The  road  and  its  equipment  is  in 
excellent  physical  condition,  and  its  operation  is  resulting  in  substan- 
tial profits.  The  distance  between  Ray  and  Hayden  via  the  Ray  & 
Gila  Valley  and  Arizona  Eastern  is  about  twenty  miles.  The  Ray 
mine  has  been  developed  by  underground  workings  and  extensive 
churn  drill  borings,  and  the  Gila  property  has  been  proven  by  drills 
mainly,  holes  having  been  bored,  checker-board  fashion,  in  200-foot 
squares.  The  mine  is  opened  by  two  shafts  about  4,000  feet  apart,

and  in  addition  to  the  two  main  operating  shafts,  there  are  six  other 
shafts  extending  to  the  main  levels  for  ventilation  and  other  purposes. 
It  was  formerly  planned  to  operate  the  property  through  one  shaft, 
but  it  was  felt  that  a  single  shaft  would  be  inadequate  for  such  a 
mammoth  property.  The  shafts  are  connected  by  a  drift  on  the  second 
level,  and  by  the  side  of  each  an  incline  shaft  to  be  used  for  the 
handling  of  men  and  material,  the  comparatively  shallow  depth  of 
the  mine  permitting  this  lavish  use  of  extra  shafts.  In  addition  to 
these,  since  the  acquisition  of  the  Ray  Central  properties,  a  new 
shaft,  known  as  No.  3,  is  being  sunk  to  tap  the  ore  in  this  group.  Ore 
is  hauled  underground  in  trains  of  5-ton  cars  drawn  by  10-ton  eletcric 
locomotives.  There  is  a  crushing  plant  at  the  mines,  reducing  the 
ore  to  about  one-inch  size  before  shipment  to  the  mill.  The  mill, 
of  8,000  tons  normal  daily  capacity,  has  eight  1,000-ton  sections  and 
is  so  designed  that  it  can  be  enlarged  on  the  unit  plan.  The  first 
section  was  completed  in  March,  1911,  but  did  not  operate  continu- 
ously until  after  April  1,  and  subsequently  additional  sections  were 
completed  until  by  the  end  of  present  year  seven  sections  had  been 
finished.  The  power  plant  is  complete  and  the  transmission  line 
from  this  plant  to  Ray  is  in  continuous  and  satisfactory  commission, 
furnishing  all  the  power  used  at  the  mines.  The  pumping  station  for 
main  water  supply,  machine  shops,  warehouse  and  all  accessories  arc 
completed  and  in  full  operation.  The  miscellaneous  buildings  are  all 
of  steel  frame  on  concrete  foundation.  Office  buildings  and  quarters 
for  offices  and  employes  have  also  been  provided.  The  power  plant 
at  the  millsite  is  10,000  horse-power  and  supplies  electric  current  for 
the  operation  of  the  entire  property,  except  locomotives.  The  plant 
has  water  tube  boilers  with  four  2,500  horse-power  Allis-Chalmers 
triple  expansion  engines,  direct  connected  to  four  1,750  kilowatt 
electric  generators.  The  smelter,  which  adjoins  the  mill,  has  a  ca- 
pacity of  1,600  tons  and  a  converter  department.  The  company  has 
erected  family  houses  of  the  highest  type.  Each  family  has  a  com- 
fortable cottage  of  three  rooms,  this  style  having  been  chosen  by  the 
company  instead  of  the  usual  community  quarters,  so  that  each  family 
has  its  own  home.  Shower  baths,  electric  lights  and  modern  plumb- 
ing throughout  are  features  of  these  cottages,  \vhich  are  far  superior 
to  those  usually  found  in  isolated  mining  camps.  Single  men  are 
quartered  two  in  a  cottage,  and  these  cottages,  like  the  other  build- 
ings of  the  company,  are  modern  in  every  respect  and  have  all  con- 
veniences. This,  however  is  not  the  most  agreeable  part.  The  price 
has  been  reduced  to  cost  and  the  rooming  accommodations,  which 
furnish  all  the  comforts  of  a  home,  cost  the  men  less  than  ten  cents  a 
day.  The  company  has  built  a  well  appointed  club  house,  where  the 
men  have  a  number  of  forms  of  amusement,  a  shower  bath,  plunge 
and  other  accessories  of  a  place  of  this  kind.  There  is  also  a  new 
hospital,  with  accommodations  for  twenty  beds,  well  built  and  well 


i:1.1-  \v  ii  o    s    \v  H  o 

furnished  throughout,  not  only  with  all  modern  surgical  instruments, 
including  an  X-Ray  apparatus,  hut  one  of  tin-  finest  operating  rooms 
outside  a  large  city. 

It  has  heen  said  that  the  Ray  Consolidated  management  treats  its 
men  as  though  they  were  a  part  of  the  family,  and  after  a  visit  to  the 
camp  one  can  not  hut  think  that  this  family  and  all  the  members 
thereof  are  most  fortunate. 

The  office  of  the  Company  is  No.  1 1  1  Broadway,  New  York;  mine 
office  at  Ray,  and  mill  office  at  Harden,  Arizona.  The  officers 
are  Sherwood  Aldrich,  President;  Colonel  D.  C.  Jackling,  Vice  Presi- 
dent and  General  Manager;  Eugene  P.  Shove,  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer; Louis  S.  Gates,  Manager;  W.  S.  Boyd,  Superintendent  of 
Mines;  J.  Q.  MacDonald,  Superintendent  of  Mills;  A.  J.  Maclean, 
Cashier;  Joe  H.  Browne,  Supply  Agent.  The  management,  practic- 
ally the  same  as  that  of  the  Utah  Copper  Company,  is  thoroughly  ex- 
perienced, strong  and  capable. 


Arizona  Copper  Company 

ARIZONA  COPPER  COMPANY,  LTD.,  whose  lands  consist  of  about 
4,000  acres  containing  eight  producing  mines  in  Greenlee  County, 
was  organized  in  August,  1884,  under  the  laws  of  Great  Britain,  with 
a  capitalization  of  £755,000.  About  20  per  cent  of  this  stock  is  is- 
sued in  the  United  States.  The  mines,  except  the  Coronado,  are  de- 
veloped to  a  depth  of  500  feet  only,  being  opened  mainly  by  tunnels, 
thereby  affording  cheap  extraction.  Notwithstanding  the  compara- 
tively shallow  zone  of  development,  a  tremendous  amount  of  ore  is  in 
sight.  Considerable  diamond  drilling  has  been  done.  The  Humboldt 
mine,  which  is  the  principal  producer,  shows  a  large  body  of  low- 
grade  disseminated  chalcocite.  Extraction  from  this  property  is 
partly  opencast,  but  mainly  through  tunnels  equipped  with  electric 
lights  and  electric  traction.  The  haulage  system  uses  the  overhead 
trolley.  Electric  locomotives  of  12  horse-power  haul  80-ton  loads, 
the  line  having  a  single  track  running  8,600  feet  directly  through  the 
mountain,  with  a  loop  reaching  all  workings  of  the  Humboldt  mine, 
the  tunnel  running  through  International  Hill  direct  to  the  new  con- 
centrator. The  Longfellow  mine,  belonging  to  this  Company,  is  the 
oldest  important  copper  mine  in  Arizona,  dating  from  about  1877.  A 
1300-foot  tunnel  driven  from  Chase  Creek  connects  with  a  600-foot 
blind  shaft,  obviating  about  three  miles  of  railroad  haulage  over  bad 
grades.  The  Longfellow  Extension  mine  has  developed  into  a  good 
property. 

The  Coronado  Group,  about  nine  miles  from  Clifton,  has  three 
shafts,  the  deepest  of  which  is  1,100  feet,  and  shows  considerable 
high  grade  ore.  Ore  is  taken  from  the  different  mines  by  six  gravity 
tramlines  to  storage  bins  on  the  Coronado  railroad,  from  which  it  is

hauled  to  the  reduction  plant  at  Clifton.  This  railroad  is  of  36-inch 
gauge  from  Clifton  to  Metcalf,  a  distance  of  seven  miles,  and  has 
30-ton  ore  cars. 

The  mines  and  works  use  about  3,000  horse-power,  supplied  in 
about  equal  portions  from  steam,  gas  and  distillate  engines.  The  gas- 
engine  plant  is  exceptionally  complete.  It  has  been  planned  to  de- 
velop hydro-electric  power  and  transmit  same  from  a  dam  about  50 
miles  distant.  The  somewhat  scattered  works  at  Clifton,  Morenci, 
Longfellow  and  Metcalf  were  remodeled  and  enlarged  several  times, 
and  the  reduction  plants  now  include  six  concentrators,  a  smelter, 
lixiviation  plant  and  acid  plant. 

No.  6  Concentrator  has  a  daily  capacity  of  1 ,500  tons,  and  has 
two  600-ton  crushers  and  a  250  horse-power  Nordberg  engine,  direct 
connected  to  a  125  horse-power  dynamo,  steam  being  furnished  by 
three  400  horse-power  Stirling  water-tube  boilers.  No.  6  Mill  has 
a  large  settling  basin.  The  Company  has  had  trouble  over  tailings 
and  has  found  it  necessary  to  use  its  best  endeavors  to  keep  its  tailings 
from  entering  the  river.  There  is  a  tank  about  a  mile  above  the  town, 
with  an  18-inch  wooden  pipe  line  to  supply  clear  water  at  flood  times, 
and  in  dry  seasons,  the  tank  being  fed  by  seepage  and  spring  water. 

The  smelter  is  of  steel  frame  with  slate  roof  and  floor  of  iron 
plates  laid  in  cement.  There  are  six  300-ton  water-jacket  blast  fur- 
naces, each  39x240  feet  at  the  tuyeres,  with  blast  supplied  by  Nos. 
7,  9  and  10  Connersville  blowers,  operated  by  a  275  horse-power 
engine.  Gases  from  the  blast  furnaces  pass  through  a  480-foot  tunnel 
and  300-foot  stack.  Matte  of  50  to  55  per  cent  copper  tenor  is 
charged  into  the  converters  by  a  10-ton  ladle  handled  by  a  30-ton 
electric  crane.  The  converter  plant  has  three  stands  and  six  7-ton 
shells,  with  a  daily  capacity  of  50  tons  of  99.5%  blister  copper.  Disin- 
tegration of  slag  by  running  water  was  tried,  but  has  been  discon- 
tinued, and  molten  slag  is  again  handled  by  a  steam  locomotive.  A 
complete  new  smelter  is  now  under  construction. 

The  25-ton  briquetting  plant  uses  coal-breeze  as  a  binder,  under  a 
pressure  of  2,000  pounds  per  square  inch.  The  plant  is  entirely 
automatic,  fines  going  in  at  one  end  and  briquettes  being  loaded  on 
cars  at  the  other. 

The  acid  plant  makes  about  3,000  tons  of  sulphuric  acid  yearly 
from  the  fumes  of  the  roasters,  the  entire  product  being  used  in  the 
leaching  plant,  which  treats  an  average  of  250  tons  of  low  grade  oxi- 
dized ore  daily.  This  is  perhaps  the  most  successful  leaching  plant  in 
the  United  States. 

Miscellaneous  enterprises  include  a  well-equipped  foundry,  machine 
shop,  saw  mill,  planing  mill,  and  20-ton  ice  plant,  all  built  of  brick. 
The  Company  also  has  excellent  general  merchandise  stores  at  Clifton, 
Longfellow  and  Metcalf,  while  a  splendid  library  is  maintained  for 
employes.  The  number  of  employes  at  the  present  time  is  over  2,700.

The  office  of  the  Company  is  at  29  St.  Andrew  Square,  Edinburgh, 
Scotland,  and  the  mine  and  works  office  at  Clifton,  Arizona.  The 
officers  are  as  follows:  John  Wilson,  Chairman  ;  P.  Dickson,  J.  P.  G. 
Readman,  J.  Wilson,  Y.  J.  Pentland,  Alex  McNab,  J.  P.,  and  Lord

Exley  Miller,  Secretary;  George  Fraser,  Smelter  Superintendent; 
Archibald  Morrison,  Mill  Superintendent  at  Clifton;  J.  G.  Cooper, 
Purchasing  Agent.  The  Company  is  entitled  to  much  credit  for  its 
conservatism  and  the  thoroughly  successful  working  of  its  plant. 


The  Shannon  Copper  Co. 

THE  SHANNON  COPPER  COMPANY  was  organized  November  13, 
1899,  under  the  laws  of  Delaware,  for  the  purpose  of  purchasing  the 
Hughes  and  Shannon  mine,  which  had  been  for  years  considered  the 
equal  of  any  copper  mine  in  Arizona.  It  had  been  owned  for  twenty 
years  by  Charles  M.  Shannon,  the  well  known  pioneer  of  the  district, 
who  had  been  unable  to  interest  capital  to  develop  the  property  so  as 
to  bring  it  to  a  producing  stage,  until  he  attracted  the  attention  of 
Mr.  W.  B.  Thompson,  of  Boston.  Mr.  Thompson,  however,  would 
not  undertake  to  handle  the  property  unless  it  wyas  sold  outright, 
which  Air.  Shannon  agreed  to  do  with  the  understanding  that  he  be 
allowed  to  retain  an  interest  in  the  company  as  stockholder.  The 
company  was  capitalized  at  $3,000,000,  par  value  of  shares  $10;  and 
in  July,  1909,  this  amount  was  increased  to  $3,300,000,  of  which 
$300,000  was  held  in  the  treasury  for  conversion  of  an  issue  of  $600,- 
000  6%  bonds  which  had  been  authorized  in  May,  1909,  by  the 
Shannon-Arizona  Railway  Company,  and  were  convertible  into  Shan- 
non stock  at  $20.00.  The  company  also  had  a  direct  issue  of  7% 
bonds  originally  $600,000  with  a  $60,000  annual  sinking  fund  for 
redemption,  by  means  of  which  the  bond  issue  was  reduced.  The 
new  company  immediately  began  the  systematic  development  of  the 
property,  and  shortly  afterward  purchased  some  adjoining  claims 
from  the  Arizona  Copper  Company,  the  pioneer  mining  company  of 
the  district.  This  gave  them  not  only  very  valuable  mines,  but  also 
control  of  ground  which  was  necessary  in  the  extensive  work  which 
had  been  mapped  out.  Their  lands  now  consist  of  about  50  claims,  in 
area  about  400  acres,  at  Metcalf,  in  the  Greenlee  district,  with  a 
millsite  of  about  100  acres  area,  and  some  limestone  claims  on  the 
Frisco  River.  The  mine  is  developed  by  shafts,  tunnels  and  open 
pits,  underground  workings  reaching  a  depth  of  about  1,300  feet  be- 
low the  crest  of  the  mountain.  The  mine  is  timbered  with  12x\2" 
square  sets.  Extraction  is  by  two  double  track  tunnels,  one  of  which 
is  7x8'  in  size  and  connects  with  a  1,400'  double-track  incline  tram 
leading  to  the  Coronado  Railway,  with  six  ore-bins  at  either  end,  the 
tramway,  inclined  at  36  deg.,  having  10-ton  cars  operating  in  counter-

balance  with  a  retarding  engine  at  the  upper  end,  the  steel  cable  pass- 
ing around  a  13'  double  drum,  which  runs  a  small  air-compressor 
that  generates  power  while  serving  as  an  auxiliary  brake.  The  Shan- 
non Company  controls  the  Coronado  Mining  Co.,  through  ownership 
of  ^  1  '  ,  of  the  stock  issue,  and  operates  under  lease,  the  property  of 
the  Leonard  Copper  Company,  owning  the  Copper  Belle  mine  at 
Gleeson.  They  also  own  and  operate  the  Shannon-Arizona  Railway, 
which  is  capitalized  at  $600, 000.  This  standard-gauge  line  of  about 
ten  miles  length,  was  built  and  equipped  at  a  cost  of  about  $600,000, 
the  territory  traversed  being  very  rugged  and  a  900-foot  tunnel  having 
been  necessary.  It  was  completed  in  1910,  and  has  not  only  proven  a 
saving  to  the  company  of  considerable  money  on  ore  haulage,  but 
gives  immunity  from  the  serious  interferences  formerly  caused  by 
annual  floods. 

The  1,000-ton  smelter  at  Clifton,  seven  miles  from  the  mines,  had 
two  350-ton  water-jacket  blast-furnaces,  which  were  thrown  into  one 
large  furnace  by  a  new  section  between,  built  on  the  plan  first  used 
at  the  Washoe  works,  making  a  single  blast-furnace  of  1,000  tons 
daily  capacity.  The  briquetting  plant  for  flue  dust  and  fines  has  a 
daily  capacity  of  60  tons,  and  there  is  a  small  sampling  mill  in  con- 
nection. The  500-ton  concentrator,  on  the  San  Francisco  River,  eight 
miles  from  the  mine,  has  ore  bins  100'  long,  in  two  sections,  for  first 
and  second  grade  ores,  and  treats  daily  about  400  tons  of  ore..  Tail- 
ings have  carried  as  high  as  \.2f/(  copper,  due  to  the  highly  oxidized 
condition  of  ores,  but  have  been  stored  and  may  be  leached  later. 
Formerly  there  was  much  trouble  from  acid  waters  eating  the  iron 
screens,  while  brass  or  copper  screens  in  the  jigs  were  worn  out  too 
rapidly  by  abrasion.  This  trouble  was  overcome  by  a  simple  but  in- 
genious application  of  the  principle  of  electrolysis,  a  low-voltage  elec- 
tric current  being  applied  to  the  jigs,  by  which  the  screen  became  a 
cathode  in  the  circuit,  this  attracting  hydrogen  from  the  water,  which 
in  turn,  attracts  the  metallic  salts,  and  the  copper  freed  is  deposited 
on  that  portion  of  the  screens  formerly  eaten  away.  Water  is  pumped 
from  wells  near  the  San  Francisco  River  by  an  electric  triplex  pump. 
The  amount  of  ore  smelted  has  shown  an  unbroken  annual  increase 
since  the  fiscal  year  1904,  while  costs  have  also  shown  improvement 

The  office  of  the  company  is  at  No.  82  Devonshire  Street,  Boston, 
Mass.,  the  mine  office  at  Metcalf,  Arizona,  and  the  works  office  at 
Clifton,  Arizona.  The  officers  are:  Nathan  L.  Amster,  president; 
Alexander  B.  Clough,  vice  president;  David  A.  Ellis,  secretary;  R. 
Townsend  McKeever,  treasurer;  Charles  R.  Jeffers,  assistant  secre- 
tary and  treasurer;  John  W.  Bennie,  general  manager;  H.  H.  Dyer, 
general  superintendent;  H.  A.  Collin,  mine  superintendent;  William 
H.  Bond,  mill  superintendent.  The  stock  of  the  company  is  listed  on 
the  Boston  Stock  Exchange,  the  property  is  considered  very  valuable, 
and  the  management  excellent.

Calumet  and  Arizona 

THE  CALUMET  &  ARIZONA  MINING  COMPANY  was  organized  in 
March,  1901,  under  the  laws  of  Arizona  with  a  capitalization  of 
$2,500,000,  shares  $10.00  par,  and  the  capitalization  increased  Feb- 
ruary, 1911,  to  $6,500,000.  The  Company  has  paid  in  dividends  to 
date  $16,456,812,  and  has  at  present  a  cash  surplus  of  $4,000,000. 

The  Company's  holdings  consist  of  the  original  Calumet  &  Arizona 
holdings  plus  the  large  holdings  of  the  Superior  &  Pittsburg  Copper 
Company,  the  merger  having  been  effected  in  1911  by  exchanging  one 
share  of  Calumet  &  Arizona  stock  for  three  and  a  half  shares  of 
Superior  &  Pittsburg  stock. 

It  is  now  building  at  Douglas  a  smelter  of  2,600  tons  capacity, 
consisting  of  two  48x40-foot  blast  furnaces  and  five  19x1 00-foot  re- 
verberatory  furnaces.  The  Cananea  bedding  system  is  one  of  the 
features,  and  also  the  most  modern  sampling  and  crushing  plant  for 
custom  work  in  the  southwest.  The  roasting  plant  consists  of  twelve 
21 -foot  Hereshoff  roasters. 

The  production  of  the  Calumet  &  Arizona  Mining  Company  for 
1911  was  49,945,905  pounds  of  refined  copper. 

The  labor  at  the  Calumet  &  Arizona  mines  is  not  organzied,  the 
Company  paying  better  than  union  wages.  A  referendum  vote  on 
the  Australian  plan  was  held  in  1907  and  it  was  decided  by  a  majority 
of  four  to  one  to  continue  the  Bisbee  district  on  the  open  shop  plan. 
The  Calumet  &  Arizona  Mining  Company  was  the  first  mining  com- 
pany in  the  state  to  discontinue  Sunday  work.  This  decision  became 
effective  in  August,  1910,  and  is  nowT  extending  over  the  state. 

The  mines  in  Bisbee  employ  about  1,400  men.  At  the  smelter  at 
Douglas  about  350  men  are  employed  operating,  and  at  the  present 
time  an  additional  250  men  are  employed  on  the  construction  of 
the  new  smelter. 

The  Calumet  &  Arizona  Mining  Company  has  the  reputation  of 
being  a  fair  mining  company,  and  it  is  the  only  large  mining  com- 
pany in  the  state  that  does  not  own  railroads  and  operate  a  company 
store.  The  management  is  considered  excellent  in  every  respect.  A 
hospital  with  an  efficient  staff  is  maintained  by  the  company  for  irs 
employes. 

The  main  office  of  the  Company  is  at  Warren,  Arizona.  The 
eastern  office  is  at  Calumet,  Michigan.  The  officers  of  the  Company 
are  as  follows:  Charles  Briggs,  President;  James  Hoatson,  Vice 
President;  Thomas  Hoatson,  Second  Vice  President;  Gordon  R. 
Campbell,  Secretary;  Peter  Ruppe,  Treasurer;  John  C.  Greenway,

The  Patagonia  District 

THE  PATAGOXIA  DISTRICT,  in  Santa  Cruz  County,  is  rapidly  ac- 
quiring an  important  place  in  mining  records,  as  phenomenal  develop- 
ments have  been  carried  on  during  the  past  year,  and  great  attention 
has  been  attracted  to  this  district.  A  number  of  the  heaviest  mining 
operators  and  corporations  have  bought  properties  and  undertaken  fur- 
ther developments  and  large  amounts  of  ore  are  now  being  shipped  to 
reduction  works,  while  the  erection  of  plants  for  the  reduction  of  ores 
too  low  in  grade  to  stand  the  cost  of  shipment  is  being  contemplated, 
and  will  doubtless  be  effected  in  the  near  future.  The  Chief  group  of 
mines  in  this  district  has  been  taken  over  by  the  same  people  who  de- 
veloped the  El  Tigre  mine,  in  Mexico,  and  they  are  developing  on  an 
extensive  scale,  opening  large  and  rich  bodies  of  ore.  The  Phelps- 
Dodge  Company  have  recently  taken  over  The  World's  Fair  group 
and  are  extending  development.  W.  A.  Clark,  of  the  United  Verde, 
has  bought  the  Trench  mine,  wThich  is  also  being  extensively  developed. 
The  great  development  made  to  date  in  the  R.  R.  R.  group  has  been 
done  by  N.  L.  Amster  of  Boston,  president  of  the  Shannon  Copper 
Company,  by  whom  it  has  recently  been  purchased.  Mining  opera- 
tions have  been  conducted  in  this  vicinity  for  many  years,  but  general- 
ly in  a  superficial  way,  not  having  been  carried  to  any  great  depth, 
which  has  led  to  a  rather  common  belief  that  the  conditions  did  not 
warrant  deeper  development.  Mining  experts,  however,  and  geolo- 
gists have  declared  that  indications  point  to  profitable  deep  mining,  and 
recent  results  have  borne  out  their  assertions  and  the  advent  into  this 
field  of  operators  of  most  thorough  experience  and  capable  judgment 
says  volumes  for  the  latent  mineral  resources  of  the  Patagonia  Dis- 
trict. Here  has  been  presented  an  array  of  eminently  practical  and 
successful  mining  operators  who  have  been  attracted  to  the  region. 
They  have  taken  hold  of  promising  properties  in  good  faith  and  are  pro- 
jecting operations  on  large  scales.  The  first  mining  done  in  this  re- 
gion was  by  the  Franciscan  friars,  early  in  the  17th  century,  about  the 
time  their  missions  were  established.  When  the  missions  were  aban- 
doned at  the  time  of  the  termination  of  Spanish  rule  in  Mexico,  early 
in  the  19th  century,  the  mines  were  concealed  and  abandoned  and  the 
records  removed  to  Spain.  About  this  time  an  uprising  of  the  Apaches 
caused  the  entire  region  to  become  desolate,  by  driving  away  the

miners.  The  operation  of  mining  was  resumed  after  the  war  with 
Mexico  and  has  since  been  carried  on  intermittently,  hut  no  great 
development  has  resulted.

Mohave  County  Mining 

By  Anson  D.  Smith 

MINING,  the  principal  industry,  in  Mohave  County  dates  back  to 
the  discovery  of  the  Moss  mine  in  the  early  60's  before  the  Territory 
of  Arizona  was  created  and  while  that  region  was  still  within  the 
confines  of  Donna  Ana  County,  New  Mexico.  The  Moss  vein  and 
mine  is  located  four  miles  northeasterly  from  the  Gold  Road  mine 
and  the  report  of  the  discovery  soon  attracted  hundreds  of  pros- 
pectors and  miners  from  the  gold  districts  of  California  and  Nevada. 
Some  of  the  surface  ores  of  the  Moss  and  neighboring  properties  in 
the  Black  or  River  Range,  then  known  as  the  Blue  Range,  were 
extremely  rich,  yielding  handsome  profits  after  the  payment  of  ship- 
ping expenses  by  pack  train  to  the  Colorado  river,  by  river  steamer 
to  Port  Isabel,  down  the  Gulf  of  California  to  Point  Arena,  up  the 
coast  to  San  Francisco,  thence  to  Swansea,  Wales,  for  treatment. 
Owing  to  the  hostility  of  the  Piute  and  Hualapai  Indians,  explora- 
tions wrere  confined  to  'a  very  limited  district  until  1865,  when  a 
daring  party  of  miners  ventured  into  the  Cerbat  range,  only  to  be 
massacred,  \vith  the  exception  of  one,  on  Silver  Hill,  where  the  town 
of  Chloride  was  later  established  and  is  now  flourishing. 

When  the  Territory  of  Arizona  was  created  in  1864,  Mohave 
County  became  one  of  its  four  great  political  subdivisions.  On  the 
admission  of  Nevada  to  statehood  in  1865  that  part  of  Mohave  west 
of  the  Colorado  River  was  annexed  to  the  Sagebrush  State,  and  the 
county  seat  was  removed  to  Hardyville,  ten  miles  northeasterly  from 
the  Moss  mine.  With  the  discovery  of  rich  veins  in  the  Cerbat 
range  the  county  seat  was  moved  to  Cerbat,  and  later  to  Mineral 
Park,  where  it  remained  until  1887,  when  it  was  removed  to  King- 
man. 

Mining  in  the  Black  and  Cerbat  ranges  continued  under  very 
adverse  conditions  until  the  construction  of  the  Atlantic  &  Pacific 

Railroad,  when  practically  the  first  development  below  water  level 
was  begun.  Prosperity  followed  until  the  depreciation  in  the  price 
of  silver,  when  attention  was  again  turned  to  the  gold  deposits  of 
the  Black  or  River  range,  resulting  in  the  discovery  of  the  Gold  Road 
and  Tom  Reed  mines,  to  which,  with  the  Golconda,  the  largest  zinc 
producer  in  the  State,  the  present  prosperity  of  Mohave  County  is 
due.  Besides  these,  many  other  properties  of  merit  are  in  various 
stages  of  development,  adding  much  to  the  annual  output  of  gold, 
silver  and  zinc  which  is  now  attracting  the  attention  of  mining  in- 
vestors of  this  and  other  countries.

EVKRKTT  E.  ELLIN  WOOD,  senior  member  of  the  la\v  firm  of  Ellin- 
\vood  iS:  Ross,  and  general  counsel  for  Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co.  interests 
in  Arizona,  was  born  in  Rock  Creek,  Ashtabula  Co.,  Ohio,  July  22, 
1862.  He  is  the  son  of  John  P.  and  Cornelia  Sperry  Ellinwood. 
Having  completed  the  common  school  course,  he  attended  Knox  Col- 
lege for  three  years,  after  which  he  took  the  law  course  at  the  Uni- 
versity of  Michigan.  Among  his  classmates  there  were  numbered 
several  men  prominent  in  national  affairs.  He  was  admitted  to  the 
bar  of  Illinois  in  1889.  The  following  year  he  came  to  Arizona, 
where  he  has  since  been  prominently  identified  with  his  profession  and 
is  generally  recognized  as  one  of  the  legal  authorities  of  the  State.  He 
was  U.  S.  District  Attorney  from  1893  to  1898;  he  was  a  member  of 
the  Constitutional  Convention  and  aided  in  drafting  a  large  portion  of 
that  document,  but  refused  to  sign  it  o\ving  to  the  provision  relating 
to  the  recall  of  the  judiciary.  He  is  a  Democrat  of  the  conservative 
type,  was  a  delegate  to  the  National  Convention  in  1892,  and  Chair- 
man of  the  Democratic  Territorial  Committee  for  two  terms.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  American  Bar  Association,  of  which  he  was  Vice  Presi- 
dent for  several  years.  He  was  also  delegate  to  the  Universal  Con- 
gress of  Lawyers  which  met  in  St.  Louis  in  1904.  Mr.  Ellinwood  has 
been  General  Attorney  for  the  El  Paso  &  Southwestern  System  and 
Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co.  interests  in  Arizona  since  1906.  From  1897  to 
1911  he  was  Commissioner  for  Promotion  of  Uniform  Law7s  in  the 
United  States.  He  was  married  November  17,  1886,  to  Miss  Minnie  L. 
Walkley  and  to  the  union  have  been  born  two  children  —  Cornelia,  a 
student  at  Smith  College,  and  Ralph  E.,  who  is  taking  a  preparatory

JOHN  MASON  Ross,  junior  member  of  the  firm  of  Ellinwood  & 
Ross,  and  son  of  Edwin  and  Mary  McCoy  Ross,  was  born  in  Davis 
County,  Indiana,  in  1874.  His  father,  whose  regular  occupation  was 
farming,  served  throughout  the  Civil  War  as  private  in  an  Ohio  Regi- 
ment, and  was  wounded  several  times.  Mr.  Ross  received  his  early 
education  in  the  public  schools  of  Ohio,  and  later  attended  Stanford 
University,  California,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1897  writh 
the  degree  LL.  B.  Having  been  admitted  to  practice  in  California,  he 
entered  the  office  of  A.  C.  Freeman,  San  Francisco,  a  well  known  at- 
torney and  law  writer,  with  whom  he  was  associated  about  three 
years.  On  coming  to  Arizona,  he  located  in  Prescott,  where  for  sev- 
eral years  he  was  associated  with  John  J.  Hawkins,  one  of  the  State's 
best  knowrn  attorneys,  after  which  he  became  a  member  of  the  firm  of

large  portion  of  the  litigation  involving  grave  complications,  but 
throughout  the  State,  this  firm  attained  prominence,  and  their  practice

relatives  and  at  school,  until  his  16th  year,  when  his  father  moved  to 
Tucson,  Arizona.  Mr.  Hereford's  home  has  ever  since  that  time 
been  in  Arizona.  He  attended  McClure's  Academy  at  Oakland, 
Santa  Clara  College  at  Santa  Clara  and  the  University  of  the  Pacific 
at  San  Jose,  all  of  the  State  of  California.  He  studied  law  in  his  fath- 
er's office  at  Tucson,  Arizona,  and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  the 
year  1885,  and  ever  since  that  date  has  been  practicing,  maintaining 
an  office  in  the  city  of  Tucson.  He  has  made  a  specialty  of  mining  and 
corporation  law,  and  is  the  regular  attorney  and  chief  counsel  for  a 
number  of  the  larger  mining  companies  of  Southern  Arizona.  He  is 
interested  in  a  large  number  of  business  enterprises  in  the  State,  prin- 
cipal amongst  which  are  the  Consolidated  National  Bank  of  Tucson, 
of  which  he  is  a  director,  and  the  La  Osa  Cattle  Company,  of  which 
he  is  a  director  and  secretary.  He  wras  private  secretary  for  two  years 
to  F.  A.  Trifle,  Governor  of  Arizona;  a  member  of  the  Constitutional 
Convention  of  Arizona,  which  convened  in  the  year  1891,  and  was 
District  Attorney  of  Pima  County  for  two  successive  terms.  His 
father,  Benjamin  H.  Hereford,  was  a  lawyer  of  prominence  in  Ari- 
zona; was  a  member  of  the  Territorial  Legislature  in  the  year  1879, 
and  for  several  terms  served  as  District  Attorney  of  Pima  County. 
Mr.  Hereford  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  Adeline  Rockwell,  of

and  honor  in  the  state,  all  of  which  he  filled  not  only  creditably  but 
with  distinction,  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona  for  many  years.  He

practice  of  his  profession  there  until  1888,  when  he  came  to  Arizona 
and  located  in  Florence.  Finely  educated,  possessing  power  of  deep 
concentration  and  the  will  to  do,  and  coming  of  a  line  of  men  noted 
in  law,  Judge  Kibbey  has  come  to  have  an  immense  law  practice  and  a

In  his  native  state  his  paternal  grandfather  was  a  judge  for  many 
years,  and  his  father  was  also  a  judge  for  twenty-five  years.  In  1889 
he  was  appointed  by  President  Harrison,  Associate  Justice  of  the  Su- 
preme Court,  and  while  on  the  bench  handed  down  what  has  become 
known  as  the  "Kibbey  Decision,"  which  refers  to  the  use  of  water  in 
ditches  and  laterals,  and  was  regarded  so  highly  that  it  has  been 
copied  in  all  the  standard  law  books  bearing  on  the  subject.  It  has 
been  said  that  while  on  the  bench,  he  had  fewer  reversals  than  any 
other  Arizona  Judge.  In  1893  Judge  Kibbey  moved  to  Phoenix, 
where  he  has  since  resided.  In  1902  he  was  elected  by  a  good  major- 
ity to  the  Council  of  the  22nd  Legislature,  and  though  he  was  but 
leader  of  the  minority,  he  succeeded  in  doing  much  towards  shaping 
the  legislation.  He  has  also  served  twice  as  Chairman  of  the  Terri- 
torial Central  Committee.  In  1904  he  was  appointed  Attorney  Gen- 
eral of  Arizona,  and  held  this  position  until  1905,  when  he  was  ap- 
pointed Governor  of  the  Territory.  Judge  Kibbey  is  a  man  who  has 
merited  the  commendation  of  the  people  in  every  phase  of  his  career, 
but  in  no  way  has  he  won  more  thorough  or  deserved  appreciation 
than  through  his  service  in  behalf  of  the  people  of  the  Salt  River  Val- 
ley in  aiding  them  to  secure  the  Tonto  Reservoir  and  drafting  the 
Article  of  Incorporation  of  the  Water  Users'  Association,  which 
brought  such  good  results  that  it  did  more  than  all  his  other  work  to 
bring  him  to  popular  favor.  He  was  married  January  10,  1877,  to 
Miss  Nora  Burbank.  Mrs.  Kibbey  is  known  socially  as  a  woman  of 
talent  and  a  charming  entertainer. 


SAMUEL  L.  KINGAN,  attorney-at-law,  Tucson,  was  born  in  Pitts- 
burgh, Pennsylvania,  in  1867.  He  passed  his  early  life  in  that  city 
and  was  educated  in  its  public  schools.  Mr.  Kingan  took  his  law 
course  in  the  University  of  Michigan,  Ann  Arbor,  from  which  he  was 
graduated,  and  he  was  admitted  to  practice  in  1889.  Two  years  later 
he  came  to  Arizona,  and  he  has  since  been  the  senior  member  of  the 
firms  of  Kingan  &  Dick  and  Kingan  &  Wright.  During  the  years  of 
his  residence  here  Mr.  Kingan  has  built  up  an  excellent  practice  and 
has  become  prominent  in  legal  circles,  having  been  successful  in  the

conduct  of  some  highly  important  cases,  in  both  the  local  and  United 
States  Court.  Mr.  Kingan  is  a  Republican,  and  while  he  has  never 
held  a  political  office,  he  has  always  taken  an  active  interest  in  public 
affairs.  He  was  one  of  the  Pima  County  delegates  to  the  Constitu- 
tional Convention,  and  served  on  the  Judiciary,  Schedule,  Mode  of 
Amending  and  Miscellaneous  Committees.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
Masonic  Order  and  belongs  to  the  local  lodge.  He  married  Miss 
Mary  Tucker,  of  Illinois,,  in  1889,  and  to  the  union  was  born  one 
daughter,  Mary. 


JOHN  FRANKLIN  HECHTMAN,  senator  from  Gila  County  in  the 
First  Arizona  State  Legislature,  has  had  a  varied  career,  having  had 
experience  in  law,  government  service,  newspaper  work,  and  mining, 
the  latter  being  now  his  chief  occupation.  Mr.  Hechtman  was  born 
in  Erie  County,  Pa.,  in  August,  1854,  but  in  1857  his  parents  removed 
to  St.  Anthony's  Falls,  Minn.,  and  in  1862  to  Washington,  D.  C., 
where  his  father,  Captain  of  Co.  "K",  83rd  Penn.  Vol.,  was  in  the 
hospital  suffering  from  wounds  received  in  battle.  Here  Mr.  Hecht- 
man served  as  messenger  in  the  Treasury  Department  for  more  than 
a  year,  as  page  in  the  House  and  Senate  for  five  years,  and  afterward 
was  employed  in  the  Coast  Survey.  He  also  attended  public  and  pri- 
vate schools  and  studied  law  in  Washington.  In  May,  1875,  he  re- 
turned to  Minnesota,  and  remained  there  until  the  following  March 
and  then  proceeded  to  the  Black  Hills  of  South  Dakota,  but  in  June 
of  the  same  year  located  in  Parrott  City,  Colorado,  and  engaged  in 
mining  and  prospecting.  He  spent  the  years  1878  and  1879  pros- 
pecting in  Arizona,  but  returned  to  Colorado.  He  had  previously 
been  admitted  to  the  practice  of  law  in  the  Supreme  Court  of  that 
State,  and  in  November,  1880,  while  performing  the  duties  of  five 
county  offices  was  elected  judge  of  his  county.  Senator  Hechtman 
located  permanently  in  Arizona  in  December,  1899,  when  he  settled 
in  Globe.  Shortly  afterward  he  was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  state, 
but  he  has  never  been  actively  engaged  in  legal  work,  his  attention 
having  been  devoted  in  the  main  to  mining,  though  for  a  time  he  was 
editor  of  the  "Silver  Belt".  While  he  has  been  active  in  the  inter- 
ests of  the  Democratic  party  during  his  years  of  residence  here,  he  has 
steadfastly  declined  to  become  a  candidate  for  office  until  the  fall  of 
1911  when  he  was  nominated  for  senator,  and  elected  by  a  sweeping 
majority.  During  the  first  session  of  the  legislature  the  senator  was 
one  of  the  notably  quiet  but  thorough  and  successful  workers  of  the 
senate,  and  in  his  "Personnel  of  the  Senate",  his  colleague,  Senator  C. 
B.  Wood,  has  said  of  Senator  Hechtman's  personality  and  work:  "He 
was  one  of  the  best  liked  men  in  the  senate^always  pleasant,  accom- 
modating, always  pouring  oil  on  the  troubled  waters,  and  always  for 
peace  and  good  fellowship.  As  Chairman  of  the  Judiciary  Committee 
and  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Counties  and  County  Affairs,  and 
as  a  member  of  five  other  important  committees,  he  did  much  splendid

work."  Senator  Hechtman  is,  in  fact,  a  man  whose  courtesy,  consid- 
eration and  refinement  of  manner  are  inherent  qualities,  and  immedi- 
ately recognized  as  such,  while  his  ability,  practical  knowledge,  and 
thoroughness  have  made  him  one  of  the  most  valuable  members  of  the 
legislature.  In  the  special  session  he  has  served  as  Chairman  of  the 
Joint  Code  Revision  Committee  of  the  two  houses  and  was  an  untir- 
ing worker  in  this  momentous  cause.  He  was  also  a  member  of  five 
other  committees,  among  which  are  the  Judiciary  and  Style,  Revision 
and  Compilation.  

ARCHIBALD  J.  SAMPSON,  attorney-at-law,  and  one  of  Arizona's 
most  noted  citizens,  has  been  recipient  of  more  honors  at  the  hands  of 
the  Federal  Government  than  any  other  man  in  the  State.  In  1887 
he  was  appointed  Envoy  Extraordinary  and  Minister  Plenipotentiary 
to  Ecuador,  which  was  the  first  diplomatic  appointment  in  over  sixty 
years  to  a  person  living  in  a  Territory.  For  ten  years  Mr.  Sampson 
acted  in  this  capacity,  and  in  1907  resumed  his  residence  in  Arizona. 
Mr.  Sampson  was  born  near  Cadiz,  Ohio,  June  21,  1839.  He  was 
graduated  B.  S.  from  Mt.  Union  College,  Ohio,  in  1861,  and  A.  M. 
in  1865,  and  in  1890  received  the  degree  LL.  B.  from  the  same  col- 
lege. He  took  a  course  at  the  Cleveland  Law  College,  from  w7hich  he 
received  the  degree  LL.  B.  in  1866.  Having  been  admitted  to  the 
bar  in  1865,  he  practiced  at  Sedalia,  Mo.,  until  1873,  then  he  re- 
moved to  Colorado  and  practiced  in  Canon  City  and  Denver  for  the 
succeeding  sixteen  years,  when  he  was  appointed  Consul  at  El  Paso 
del  Norte,  Mexico,  and  served  from  1889  to  1893.  He  then  came  to 
Arizona  and  located  at  Phoenix.  Here  he  soon  took  the  place  as  a 
citizen,  an  attorney  and  a  statesman,  to  which  his  natural  endow- 
ments entitled  him  and  no  man  in  Arizona  today  stands  higher  in  the 
esteem  of  his  fellowmen.  In  1873  Mr.  Sampson  was  nominated  for 
the  post  of  U.  S.  Consul  at  Palestine,  but  declined  the  honor,  and  in 
1876  he  was  elected  Attorney  General  of  Colorado.  He  has  always 
been  an  ardent  Republican  and  a  strong  factor  in  the  party  in  general 
as  well  as  in  local  matters.  He  served  in  the  Civil  War  as  private  in 
the  Union  Army,  from  which  he  was  advanced  to  the  rank  of  Captain. 
He  is  now  a  member  of  the  G.  A.  R.  and  Past  Deputy  Commander 
of  the  same.  He  is  also  a  32nd  degree  Mason  and  Knight  Templar. 
Mrs.  Sampson  was  formerly  Miss  Frances  S.  Wood,  -of  Joliet,  111., 
and  since  her  residence  in  Phoenix  has  become  socially  one  of  the  city's 
most  prominent  women. 


LEROY  ANDERSON,  one  of  the  most  prominent  attorneys  in  Ari- 
zona, has  been  a  resident  of  this  state  since  1893,  when  he  came  here 
from  his  native  state,  Illinois.  Mr.  Anderson  is  especially  well 
known  as  a  corporation  attorney,  being  counsel  for  the  United  Verde 
Copper  Company,  Senator  Clark's  big  mine,  for  the  Consolidated 
Arizona  Smelting  Company  at  Humboldt,  and  for  the  United  Verde

LOREN  FELIX  VAUGHN,  attorney  at  law,  a  member  of  the  firm  of 
Clark  &  Vaughn,  of  Phoenix,  was  born  in  Illinois,  September  17, 
1874.  His  early  life  was  spent  on  a  farm,  attending  only  the  com- 
mon schools  until  he  was  eighteen  years  old,  when  he  procured  a 
teacher's  certificate,  which  he  still  deems  the  most  highly  prized  docu- 
ment he  has  ever  received.  After  remaining  two  years  longer  assisting 
his  father  in  the  handling  of  the  farm,  he  began  teaching  school  in  an 
adjoining  district;  with  the  money  earned  in  this  way  he  entered  the 
famous  Illinois  College  at  Jacksonville,  Illinois,  wrhere  he  remained 
one  term  then  resumed  teaching,  this  time  in  the  neighboring  State  of 
Missouri.  He  later  attended  the  Chillicothe  Normal  College  of  Mis- 
souri, graduating  wTith  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science.  His  teach- 
ing experience  covers  a  period  of  ninety-eight  months,  all  the  way  from 
the  "cross-roads"  school  to  High  School  Principalship,  and  holds  life 
certificates  in  Missouri  and  Arizona.  While  teaching  he  began  the 
study  of  law,  then  took  one  year's  work  in  the  Missouri  College  of 
Law  at  St.  Louis,  after  which  he  entered  the  office  of  Col.  H.  M. 
Phillips,  of  Poplar  Bluff,  one  of  the  most  able  attorneys  of  the  state; 
passing  the  Missouri  State  examination,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar 
and  practiced  there  for  three  years,  then  entered  the  law  department  of 
Cumberland  University  at  Lebanon,  Tennessee,  from  which  he  has 
the  degree,  LL.  B.  Mr.  Vaughn  came  to  Arizona  in  1905,  taught 
school  in  Duncan,  and  his  wrife,  wrho  was  also  a  teacher,  taught 
at  Franklin,  a  nearby  district.  He  subsequently  started  the 
Duncan  Arizonian,  which  became  one  of  the  strongest  weeklies  in  the 
State,  always  active  in  the  interest  of  purity  in  State,  County  and  Na- 
tional politics.  In  1909  he  was  made  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervis- 
ors in  Graham  County.  In  1910  he  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the 
Duncan  Telephone  Company,  of  which  he  has  since  been  secretary.

ex-Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  Hon.  John  T.  Dunlap,  as  com- 
missioners to  select  a  site  for  the  Industrial  School.  They  chose  for

During  the  campaign  for  delegates  to  the  Democratic  National  Con- 
vention of  1912,  Mr.  Vaughn  was  entrusted  with  the  management  of 
Gov.  Folk's  interest  in  Arizona,  being  a  personal  friend  of  the  famous 
governor.  He  is  a  State  Committeeman,  and  has  the  happy  fortune  of 
having  been  in  the  Wilson  procession  working  for  Gov.  Wilson's  nom- 
ination before  the  Baltimore  Convention.  Mr.  Vaughn  is  the  son  of 
Spencer  Edwards  and  Sarah  Jane  Lamar  Vaughn,  and  was  married  in

GEORGE  U.  YOUNG  was  born  at  Hamburg,  Indiana,  February  10, 
1867,  where  his  parents,  John  Alexander  and  Mary  Wilson  Young 
resided  for  many  years.  When  he  was  thirteen  years  of  age  the 
family  removed  to  Kansas.  Mr.  Young  has  been  practically  self- 
educated,  and  at  the  age  of  fifteen  began  teaching  school  at  his  home 
in  Kansas.  Here,  too,  he  studied  law  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar 
in  1890.  He  came  to  Arizona  shortly  after  and  for  three  years  was

and  engineer  on  the  Atlantic  &  Pacific  Railroad.  He  was  later 
elected  principal  of  the  schools  of  Williams,  in  which  position  he 
served  four  years  and  acquired  the  ownership  of  the  "Williams  News." 
He  was  also  associated  with  Captain  William  O'Neill  in  the  promo- 
tion of  the  Grand  Canyon  Railroad.  O'Neill's  death  in  Cuba  left  the 
entire  responsibility  of  the  western  interests  in  the  proposition  upon 
Mr.  Young,  and  it  was  through  his  efforts  and  sacrifices  that  the 
road  was  built.  In  1903  he  became  actively  interested  in  mining  and 
has  since  done  much  towards  the  development  of  this  one  of  Arizona's 
resources,  and  is  at  present  President  and  General  Manager  of  the 
Young  Mines  Company,  Ltd.,  and  the  Madizelle  Mining  Company. 
For  several  years  he  was  Territorial  Secretary  of  Arizona.  Mr. 
Young  is  prominently  known  throughout  the  entire  State.  In  poli- 
tics he  is  a  Republican  and  takes  an  active  part  in  the  campaigns  of 
his  party.  He  has  for  some  time  been  generally  spoken  of  as  the 
Progressive  candidate  for  Governor  at  the  coming  election.  From  a 
legal,  business  and  political  standpoint,  Mr.  Young  stands  deservedly 
high  in  the  esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens,  and  stands  for  pure  religion 
without  regard  to  sect  or  church.  Mr.  Young  was  married  Septem- 
ber 26,  1900,  to  Miss  Mary  E.  Smith,  of  Williams,  Arizona.  They 
make  their  home  in  Phoenix.

He  remained  in  California  until  1904,  when  he  came  to  Arizona  and 
settled  in  Douglas.  During  the  short  time  that  Judge  Wright  has 
been  here  he  has  built  up  an  excellent  practice,  and  has  become  one  of 
the  well  kno\vn  attorneys  of  the  state.  Besides  being  local  representa- 
tive of  R.  G.  Dun  &  Company,  the  financial  authorities,  in  which 
capacity  he  has  served  for  twenty-five  years  in  various  places,  he  is

a  member  of  the  Blue  Lodge,  Royal  Arch  and  Knights  Templar.  He

was  born  in  the  State  of  Illinois  in  September,  1868,  and  is  the  son  of 
William  J.  and  Milla  Smith  Campbell.  His  early  education  was

Washington,  where  he  remained  for  six  years.  In  1894,  however, 
having  been  admitted  to  the  practice  of  law,  he  was  appointed  to  a 
position  in  the  Department  of  Justice,  being  made  attorney  in  charge 
of  pardons.  This  position  he  held  until  1901,  when  he  removed  to

tics, and  one  of  the  foremost  men  of  the  state  in  a  professional  and 
political  sense,  as  well  as  a  man  whose  judgment  in  all  matters  per- 
taining to  the  general  or  civic  welfare  is  greatly  relied  upon,  and 
whose  opinion  and  advice  on  questions  of  the  day  are  much  sought 
after.  He  is  a  member  of  the  order  of  Knights  of  Pythias  and  is  a 
Past  Grand  Chancellor  of  the  domain  of  Arizona.

schools  of  Circleville  and  afterward  entered  Ohio  Wesleyan  Univers- 
ity, at  Delaware,  Ohio,  from  which  he  was  graduated  with  the  degree 
A.  B.  in  1867  and  A.  M.  in  1872.  He  was  also  graduated  from  the 
Albany  School  at  Albany,  N.  Y.,  with  the  degree  LL.  B.  He  was 
admitted  to  the  practice  of  la\v  before  the  Supreme  Court  of  Missouri 
in  1869  and  was  a  member  of  the  Pike  County  Bar.  He  came  to 
Arizona  in  1888  and  was  admitted  to  the  Bar  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  Territory,  and  served  as  District  Attorney  for  Pinal  County 
from  1894  to  1897,  in  which  latter  y?ar  h°  was  appointed  Associate 
Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  and  Judge  of  the  Second  Judicial  Dis- 
trict of  Arizona,  retaining  this  position  until  Arizona  became  a  State

Tombstone,  the  county  seat  of  Cochise  County,  and  the  home  of 
Judge  Doan.  During  his  early  years  in  Arizona  his  friends  and  him-

self  spent  a  large  sum  of  money  and  much  of  their  time  and  energy  in 
an  effort  to  make  a  success  of  the  South  Gila  Canal,  which  was  in- 
tended to  irrigate  150,000  acres  of  valley  and  mesa  land  in  Yuma 
County ;  and  while  the  attempt  failed  at  the  time,  through  the  con- 
tinued efforts  of  some  of  his  friends  and  Captain  Woodworth,  the 
original  promoter  has  enlisted  a  vast  amount  of  French  capital  and 
hopes  the  system  will  yet  become  a  complete  success.  Judge  Doan  is  a 
Republican  in  his  political  views,  and  a  Methodist  in  his  religious  af- 
filiations. In  1873  he  married  Miss  Anna  Murray,  daughter  of  Hon- 
orable Samuel  F.  and  Frances  Murray,  at  Bowling  Green,  Mo.  He

1908,  to  February,  1910,  and  Grand  Patron  of  the  Order  of  the 
Eastern  Star  in  1910.  In  addition  to  the  duties  of  his  profession, 
Judge  Doan  has  always  been  associated  with  business  interests  in  Ari- 
zona, and  he  is  at  present  president  of  the  Arizona  Bank  &  Trust 
Company  of  Douglas. 


ERNEST  WILLIAM  LEWIS  is  a  native  of  the  Keystone  State,  having 
been  born  in  Indiana,  Pennsylvania,  December  27,  1875,  and  is  the 
son  of  George  R.  and  Nancy  MacLane  Lewis.  He  was  educated 
primarily  in  the  public  schools  and  was  afterwards  graduated  from  the 
University  of  Minnesota.  Having  completed  his  course  in  law,  he 
was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  Supreme  Court  of  Arizona  in  1900, 
and  engaged  in  practice  in  Phoenix,  which  he  continued  until  1909. 
From  1903  until  1909  he  also  acted  as  Reporter  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  Territory,  and  in  the  latter  year  was  chosen  Associate  Justice 
of  the  Supreme  Court,  his  term  in  this  capacity  having  expired  with 
the  admission  of  Arizona  to  statehood.  Judge  Lewis  has  resumed  pri- 
vate practice  in  Globe  and  is  rated  one  of  the  most  able  attorneys  in 
the  state.  Judge  Lewis  is  a  Republican  in  politics,  a  consistent  mem- 
ber of  the  Episcopalian  Church,  and  a  member  of  the  Masons,  Knights 
Templar  and  Mystic  Shrine.  He  was  married  February  19,  1902,  to 
Miss  Ethel  May  Orme,  of  Phoenix. 


JUDGE  ALBERT  C.  BAKER  was  born  at  Girard,  Russell  County, 
Alabama,  February  15,  1845,  and  is  a  graduate  of  the  East  Alabama 
Male  College.  He  served  two  and  one-half  years  in  the  Confederate 
Army  as  color  bearer  for  Waddell's  Battalion  of  Artillery.  When  yet 
a  young  man  he  moved  to  Missouri,  thence  to  California,  and  subse- 
quently located  in  Phoenix,  Arizona,  in  the  early  part  of  1879  and 
opened  a  law  office.  His  skill  and  tact  as  a  lawyer  soon  became  com- 
mon knowledge  in  Arizona  and  today  he  is  practically  without  a  rival 
in  the  State  in  the  conduct  of  a  case  before  a  jury.  The  published  law 
reports  and  the  dockets  of  the  courts  bear  abundant  evidence  of  his 
activities.  Scarcely  a  case  of  great  importance  has  been  tried  in  the

State  for  a  decade  in  which  he  has  not  appeared  as  counsel  for  one 
side  or  the  other.  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  Constitutional  Conven- 
tion from  Maricopa  County  and  in  that  body  was  of  great  service  to 
the  State.  He  espoused  the  cause  of  many  of  the  new  features  in  the 
Constitution  without  becoming  hysterical  or  dangerously  radical. 
Judge  Baker  was  appointed  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 
Arizona  by  President  Cleveland  and  filled  that  high  office  for  one 
term  with  great  credit  to  himself  and  great  satisfaction  to  the  people. 
His  written  opinions  are  unaffected,  short,  simple,  direct  and  blaze  the 
way  so  clearly  that  there  is  no  room  to  doubt  wrhat  is  precisely  decided. 
As  a  judge  he  was  upright,  honest  and  fearless.  Judge  Baker  is 
blessed  writh  the  happy  faculty  of  dressing  up  a  thought  in  a  way  that 
appeals  with  great  force  to  the  emotions.  At  a  banquet  before  the 
City  Club  of  Phoenix  he  once  paid  a  tribute  that  is  worthy  of  preser- 
vation to  the  pioneers  of  Arizona.  He  said :  "The  soldier  leads  an 
assault  in  the  blare  of  trumpets  and  the  roll  of  drums.  It  lasts  but  a 
minute.  He  knowTs  that  whether  he  lives  or  dies  immortal  fame  is  his 
reward.  It  is  not  so  with  the  pioneer.  When  this  soldier  of  peace 
assaults  the  wilderness  no  bugle  sounds  the  charge.  The  forest,  the 
desert,  the  savage  beast  and  savage  man  lurk  to  ambush  him;  he 
blazes  the  trails,  fells  the  trees,  turns  the  streams  and  plants  his  rude 
stakes;  his  self-possessed  soul  keeps  its  fingers  on  his  lips  and  no  lamen- 
tations are  heard.  When  civilization  joyously  comes  wTith  unsoiled 
sandals  over  the  trails  he  has  blazed,  and  homes  and  temples  spring  up 
on  the  soil  he  has  broken,  his  youth  is  gone,  hope  is  chastened  into 
silerce  and  he  sinks  into  a  dreamless  bivouac  under  the  stars.  The 
world  merely  sponges  his  name  from  the  slate  and  self  satisfied  civili- 
zation accepts  his  toil  without  compensation  and  frowns  wTith  horror 
at  his  rough  and  rugged  ways.  But  he  is  content.  The  shadows  of 
the  wilderness  have  been  chased  away,  the  savage  beast  and  savage 
man  have  fled,  the  fields  ripen  to  yellow  grain  and  seats  of  learning 
and  temples  of  wrorship  dot  the  plains;  the  perfume  of  flowers  and 
songs  of  children  gladden  all  the  land  and  he  smiles  upon  the  younger 
generation  and  is  content."-  —By  J.  W.  Spear. 

ALEXANDER  B.  BAKER,  attorney-at-law,  junior  member  of  the  firm 
of  Baker  &  Baker,  of  Phoenix,  was  born  in  that  city  May  23,  1889, 
and  is  the  son  of  Albert  Cornelius  and  Mary  J.  Alexander  Baker. 
Mr.  Baker  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Phoenix,  and  after 
being  graduated  from  the  high  school,  began  the  study  of  law  in  the 
office  of  his  father,  with  whom  he  is  now  associated.  Shortly  after- 
ward he  took  up  the  study  of  law  in  the  University  of  Michigan, 
from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1910,  immediately  thereafter  was 
admitted  to  practice  in  Arizona  and  entered  his  father's  office  as  part- 
ner. Mr.  Baker  is  very  well  known  among  the  younger  attorneys  and 
coming  of  a  line  of  able  attorneys  who  reached  the  pinnacle  of  honor 
in  their  profession,  he  seems  destined  to  follow  in  their  footsteps  and

to  become  one  of  Arizona's  foremost  attorneys.  His  father,  Honor- 
able A.  C.  Baker,  was  at  one  time  Chief  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court 
of  Arizona.  Mr.  Baker  is  a  member  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus, 
among  whom  he  is  very  active,  and  prominent  as  a  lecturer.

Frank  M.   Doan 


RICHARDSON  &  DOAN,  attorneys-at-law,  have  been  associated  in 
business  in  Douglas  since  1907,  when  they  established  their  partner- 
ship, and  during  that  time  they  have  handled  many  cases,  their  prac- 
tice before  the  Supreme  Court  being  unusually  large.  David  Richard- 
son is  a  native  of  Texas,  having  been  born  in  Crockett,  September  21, 
1865.  His  parents,  J.  D.  and  Cora  Hazlett  Richardson,  were  among 
the  early  pioneers  of  that  vicinity.  Frank  Doan,  the  other  member  of 
the  firm,  is  a  native  of  Missouri,  having  been  born  in  Bowling  Green, 
on  February  28,  1877.  He  is  the  son  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Fletcher  M. 
Doan,  who  are  mentioned  elsewhere  in  this  work.  Mr.  Richardson 
was  educated  and  studied  law  in  Texas,  and  was  admitted  to  practice 
in  Galveston  twenty-three  years  ago.  In  1897  his  health  broke  down 
and  he  removed  to  El  Paso,  Texas,  and  continued  the  practice  of  his 
profession  there  until  1900,  when  he  first  came  to  Arizona.  He  lo- 
cated in  Nogales,  where  he  remained  until  1903,  then  moved  to  Doug- 
las, which  has  since  been  his  home.  A  few  years  ago  he  was  married 
to  Miss  Angela  Lisbony,  who  since  their  residence  in  Douglas  has 
taken  a  prominent  part  in  the  social  life  of  the  citv.  Mr.  Richardson

is  known  throughout  the  State  as  an  able  attorney,  a  genial,  sociable 
man,  and  his  friends  are  legion.  Frank  M.  Doan  came  to  Arizona  in 
1888,  his  destination  having  been  the  hottest  place  in  the  State,  where 
his  father  was  interested  in  an  irrigation  project.  He  attended  the 
common  schools  and  afterward  went  to  Leland  Stanford  University, 
where  he  was  graduated  with  the  degree  LL.  B.  in  1901  and  admit- 
ted to  practice  in  the  State  of  California.  In  1903  he  was  admitted 
to  practice  before  the  Supreme  Court  of  Arizona  and  became  asso- 
ciated with  Messrs.  Hereford  &  Hazzard,  of  Tucson,  where  he  re- 
mained until  he  came  to  Douglas,  in  March,  1907.  Mr.  Doan  is  a 
member  of  the  Elks  and  Masons,  and  while  in  college  was  a  member 
of  the  Phi  Delta  Phi,  a  legal  fraternity.  He  was  recently  married  to 
Miss  Florence  H.  House,  who  has  been  identified  with  the  social  life 
of  Douglas  for  several  years.  The  firm  of  Richardson  &  Doan  has 
been  eminently  successful  and  the  relationship  of  the  partners  most 
pleasant,  but  at  the  beginning  of  1913  the  partnership  was  dissolved, 
and  Mr.  Doan  entered  into  partnership  with  his  father,  Fletcher  M. 
Doan,  of  Tombstone,  while  Mr.  Richardson  has  continued  his  general 
practice  in  Douglas. 


SELIM  M.  FRAXKLIX  was  born  in  San  Bernardino,  California, 
October  19th,  1859.  He  is  a  son  of  Maurice  A.  Franklin,  one  of 
the  pioneer  merchants  of  California,  who  came  there  in  1849  from 
Liverpool,  England.  His  mother  was  Miss  Victoria  Jacobs.  Mr. 
Franklin  was  educated  in  California  and  was  graduated  from  the 
State  University  in  1882,  then  entered  the  law  department  of  the 
same  institution,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1883  and  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  Bar  of  California  the  same  year.  He  then  came  to 
Tucson  and  commenced  the  practice  of  law.  He  was  elected  to  the 
Thirteenth  Territorial  Legislature,  and  during  the  session  he  was 
active  in  behalf  of  the  Bill  creating  the  University  of  Arizona,  was 
instrumental  in  having  the  same  passed,  and  served  as  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Regents  for  a  number  of  years.  In  1886  Mr.  Franklin 
was  City  Attorney  of  Tucson  and  was  Assistant  United  States  Attor- 
ney for  a  time.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Capitol  Site  Commis- 
sion who  selected  the  site  for  the  present  Capitol  in  Phoenix.  Mr. 
Franklin  is  the  only  surviving  member  of  the  Pima  County  repre- 
sentation to  the  Territorial  Convention  which  nominated  Mark 
Smith  for  his  first  term  in  Congress.  He  is  now  practicing  law  and 
has  been  in  Tucson  since  1883.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Masons  and 
Elks,  also  of  the  Old  Pueblo  Club  of  Tucson.  His  wife  was  Miss

JAMES  R.  DUNSEATH,  attorney  at  law  and  U.  S.  Commissioner, 
was  born  in  Belfast,  Ireland,  December  20,  1873,  but  at  the  age  of 
fourteen  removed  to  Toronto,  Canada,  with  his  parents.  He  wras 
educated  in  the  Ontario  Model  School  of  Toronto,  and  the  Collegiate 

Institute  in  connection  with  the 
University  of  Toronto.  Mr. 
Dunseath  then  removed  with  his 
parents  to  Michigan,  where  he 
took  up  newspaper  work  and 
finished  his  trade  as  a  practical 
printer.  In  1898  he  was  gradu- 
ated from  the  Detroit  College  of 
Law  with  the  degree  of  LL.  B. 
He  was  immediately  admitted 
to  practice  before  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Michigan,  and  entered 
upon  the  practice  of  his  profes- 
sion in  Detroit.  Later  he  took 
the  examination  and  was  admit- 
ted to  practice  in  Ohio,  and 
forming  a  partnership  with  an- 
other attorney,  made  Toledo  his 
headquarters.  Business  in  con- 
nection with  some  mining  prop- 
erties in  which  he  was  interested 
necessitated  his  making  a  trip  to 
Morenci  in  1902,  and  seeing  the 
wonderful  opportunities  afford- 
ed in  this  state  for  a  young  man 
of  energy  and  experience,  he  de- 
cided to  make  Arizona  his  fu- 
ture field  of  effort.  He  located 
Morenci  and  was  admitted 


in 

to  practice  before  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Arizona.  For  about 
three  years  he  was  in  charge  of  the  Morenci  Leader,  which  became  a 
power  in  Graham  County  politics.  After  recovering  from  an  attack  of 
typhoid  fever,  his  health  requiring  a  lower  altitude,  he  removed  to 
Tucson,  where  he  was  appointed  to  fill  a  vacancy  as  Deputy  Clerk  of 
the  District  Court.  This  position  he  held  for  six  months,  and  resigned 
to  take  up  the  practice  of  law  in  the  office  of  Mr.  Frank  Hereford, 
with  whom  he  was  associated  for  several  years.  Mr.  Dunseath  makes 
a  specialty  of  land  and  mining  law,  and  in  this,  as  in  corporation  and 
probate  work,  he  is  becoming  recognized  as  one  of  the  leading  young 
lawyers  of  the  Southwest.  In  1910  he  again  became  Deputy  Clerk  of 
the  District  Court,  which  office  he  resigned  February  1,  1912.  He 


[  N      ARIZONA

was  Supreme  Court  Reporter  from  1908-1912,  which  position  he  also 
resigned  upon  the  admission  of  Arizona  to  statehood,  when  he  was 
appointed  U.  S.  Commissioner  at  Tucson.  Mr.  Dunseath  is  a  member 
of  the  K.  of  P.  and  Moose  and  an  official  in  each,  and  a  member  of  the 
local  Masonic  and  Odd  Fellows  lodges.  In  politics  he  is  a  Republican, 
and  has  done  excellent  work  for  his  party  in  both  Graham  and  Pima 
Counties.  He  married  Miss  Irene  P.  Hanavan,  and  they  have  one 
son,  James  Elliott  Dunseath. 


DAVID  BENSHIMOL,  attorney  at  law,  as  a  result  of  the  activity 
shown  by  him  in  behalf  of  the  Progressive  Party,  has  become  one  of 
the  best  known  men  in  the  state,  and  to  him  is  due  in  large  part  the 
excellent  showing  made  in  the  state,  in  Cochise  County  especially,  by 

his     party.       Versatile, 
well   read,   possessing  a 
pleasing  personality  and 
the    ability    to    express 
himself  clearly  and  for- 
cibly,   he    conducted    a 
great    campaign    in    his 
vicinity    for    the    party 
with  which  he  affiliated 
himself  after   the   Chi- 
cago   convention ;    and 
despite    the    few    years 
that  he  has  been  in  Ari- 
zona, his  influence  was 
a  decided  factor  in  the 
showing    made    by    the 
Bull  Moose  party.   Mr. 
Benshimol  was  born  in 
Boston  in  1866.     He  is 
the  son  of  Joshua  and 
C  a  r  o  1  i  ne  Nettlinger 
Benshimol,   the   former 
having  been  a  merchant 
in   his   early   days   and 
later  a  banker.   He  was 
educated  in  Boston,  was 

graduated  from  the  University  of  Boston,  and  an  honor  man  in  his 
class.  With  his  family  he  came  to  Douglas  in  1908,  and  has  since 
made  it  his  home.  He  was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  Supreme  Court 
in  November  of  that  year  and  has  since  built  up  a  lucrative  practice, 
his  mastery  of  the  Spanish  language  making  him  especially  well  fitted 
for  practice  in  Southern  Arizona,  while  his  twelve  years  practice  in 
the  Boston  courts  and  his  training,  particularly  as  a  corporation  law- 


176

yer,  have  stood  him  in  good  stead.  Mr.  Benshimol  is  fast  making  his 
way  to  the  front  ranks  of  Arizona  attorneys.  He  has  long  been  a 
member  of  the  Masons  and  Odd  Fellows,  and  has  become  well  known 
in  the  local  lodges.  In  1891  Mr.  Benshimol  was  married  to  Miss 
Edith  E.  Tanner,  of  Minneapolis,  Minn. 


SYLVESTER  W.  PURCELL,  one  of  the  prominent  attorneys  of  Tucson 
and  Probate  Court  Judge  of  Pima  County  for  two  terms,  was  born  at 
Baxter  Springs,  Kansas,  May  3,  1870.  The  Purcells  came  to  America 
in  1664,  and  located  in  Virginia.  Their  descendants  are  numerous  in 

the  Southern  States,  especial- 
ly Virginia  and  Kentucky,  of 
which  last  named  state 
Judge  Purcell's  father  and 
grandfather  were  natives.  His 
brother,  Dr.  W.  B.  Purcell, 
practiced  for  many  years  in 
Tucson.  His  mother,  Mary 
Walden  Purcell,  was  a  na- 
tive of  Virginia,  and  his 
grandmother,  Eliza  Clay

The  Valley  Bank 

THE  VALLEY  BANK  was  organized  in  1883  with  a  capital  of  $50,- 
000,  and  Colonel  William  Christy  as  cashier.  In  four  years,  how- 
ever, the  capital  was  increased  to  $100,000,  and  in  1890  Colonel 
Christy  wTas  chosen  its  president,  which  position  he  held  until  the  time 
of  his  death.  At  that  time  included  in  its  directorate  were  E.  J.  Ben- 
nitt,  now  president,  and  Lloyd  B.  Christy,  now  cashier.  This  bank 
occupies  the  only  exclusive  banking  building  in  the  city,  which  is  of 
colonial  architecture  and  strictly  modern  in  all  its  appointments.  It  is 
constructed  of  reinforced  concrete.  During  the  life  of  The  Valley 
Bank  it  has  been  the  constant  aim  of  its  management  to  aid  in  the  up- 
building of  the  state  and  city,  and  there  one  is  accorded  the  utmost 
courtesy  in  every  department.  In  the  five  years  elapsing  from  1907  to 
1912,  the  deposits  of  The  Valley  Bank  increased  from  less  than  $600,- 
000  to  more  than  two  and  one-half  millions,  and  having  a  capital  and 
surplus  of  $250,000,  The  Valley  Bank  is  unquestionably  the  largest 
bank  in  the  state.  This  was  the  first  bank  in  Phoenix  to  open  a 
savings  department,  and  for  the  five  years  in  which  this  department 
has  been  in  operation  over  seven  hundred  thousand  dollars  have  been 
deposited  in  it,  and  the  depositors  number  over  thirty-five  hundred, 
which  is  due  evidence  of  public  confidence  and  appreciation.  Its  of- 
ficers at  present  are :  E.  J.  Bennitt,  president ;  John  R.  Hampton  and 
John  Ormsby,  vice  presidents;  Lloyd  B.  Christy,  cashier,  and  S.  H. 
Stewart  and  Lebbeus  Chapman,  assistant  cashiers.  These  officers, 
with  a  strong  board  of  directors,  and  the  confidence  which  the  bank 
now  enjoys  insures  for  it  many  years  of  continued  prosperity. 


COLONEL  WILLIAM  CHRISTY  was  a  man  of  the  noblest  and  strong- 
est character,  and  no  man  among  Arizona's  makers  had  a  wider  vision 
of  her  possibilities  or  a  stronger  faith  in  her  future.  For  this  reason, 
there  were  in  those  days,  none  who  needed  to  be  sustained  in  their 
hope  of  ultimate  reward,  aided  through  financial  straits,  or  encouraged 
in  any  way  in  their  work  in  early  time  Arizona,  who  did  not  receive 
help,  if  fortune  brought  them  in  contact  with  Colonel  William 
Christy.  His  beautiful  country  home,  one  and  one-half  miles  out  of 
Phoenix,  was  ever  conducted  on  a  most  generous  plan,  and  here  the 
old-fashioned  traditional  hospitality  was  dispensed.  Around  his  board 
one  met  the  man  of  affairs  who  needed  counsel,  the  stranger  who 
needed  to  be  made  welcome,  and  the  young  person  who  needed  the 
protection  of  home  affiliations  in  the  new  country — not  occasionally — 
but  in  the  regular  course  of  living,  as  the  habit  of  the  home  was  to 
entertain  in  this  whole-souled,  cordial  manner.  Colonel  Christy  plan- 
ned and  worked  with  dauntless  courage  and  purpose,  along  every  line

of  development  of  the  commonwealth,  and  he  was  the  maker  of  the 
Valley  Bank,  the  greatest  financial  institution  in  the  state,  of  which 
his  son,  Lloyd  Bennett  Christy  is  at  present  cashier. 

Colonel  Christy  was  born  in  Trumbull  County,  Ohio,  February  14, 
1841,  and  was  thirteen  years  of  age  when  the  family  settled  on  a  farm 
near  Osceola,  Iowa.     There  he  finished  his  education  and  began  to 
teach  school  at  the  age  of  seventeen.     At  the  age  of  twenty  he  was  a 
member  of  a  regiment  organized   to  protect  the  border  in  the  Civil 
War.     During  the  war  he  was  injured  a  number  of  times  and  spent 
three  months  in  a  hospital  at  Newman,  Ga.,  and  for  more  than  three 
years  >"^ter  his  return  home  he  was  obliged  to  carry  his  left  arm  in  a 
sling.      Colonel  Christy  obtained  his  first  banking  experience  in  H.  C. 
Sigler  s  Bank  in  Osceola,  where  he  remained  five  years,  and  of  which 
he  became  cashier.     He  then  served  a  term  as  Treasurer  of  the  State  of 
Iowra,  at  the  close  of  which  he  became  cashier  and  a  director  of  the 
Capital  City  Bank  of  Des  Moines,  and  while  in  this  position  assisted 
in  organizing  the  Merchants  National  Bank  of  that  city.     Owing  to 
poor  health,   about   that   time   Colonel   Christy  found   it   desirable  to 
seek  a  more  genial  climate,  and  in  1882  he  came  to  Arizona.     He  pur- 
chased a  ranch  near  Prescott,  where  he  lived  eighteen  months,  during 
which   he  regained  his  health.      He  then   purchased   a   farm  west  of 
Phoenix,  consisting  of  440  acres,  and  on  this  he  made  his  home  until 
the  time  of  his  death.      He  was  actively   interested   in   farming  and 
stock  raising,  and  realizing  the  need  of  irrigation,  he  was  director  in 
three  canal  companies  and  vice  president  of  the  Arizona  Canal  Com- 
pany.    In  the  matter  of  fruit  raising  Colonel  Christy  was  a  pioneer 
and  demonstrated  that  a  fine  grade  of  oranges  and  peaches  could  be 
grown  in  the  Salt  River  Valley,  and  was  thus  instrumental  in  develop- 
ing an  industry  that  has  grown  with  each  passing  year.     He  was,  in 
fact,  a  potent  factor  in  the  advancement  of  Arizona,  the  industries  as 
well   as  the  financial   inte  ?sts  having  been   benefiitted   by  his  sound 
judgment   and   wise   foresight.      Religious,    philanthropic   and   educa- 
tional movements,  too,  have  been  the  beneficiaries  of  his  constant  re- 
gard and  their  welfare  been  promoted  by  his  watchful  oversight.     In 
politics  Colonel  Christy  was  a  steadfast  Republican,  and  he  served  as 
Territorial  Treasurer  under  Governor  Irwin,  and  t\vice  he  was  chosen 
Chairman  of  the  Territorial  Republican  Committee.     In  the  years  to 
come  when  Arizona  shall  have  forged  ahead  to  a  position  of  eminence 
and  have  attained  to  a  higher  rank  among  the  states  of  the  union,  the 
name  of  Colonel  William  Christy  will  be  given  a  high  place  in  the 
archives  of  its  history  and  his  influence  upon  the  material  and  moral 
interests  of  the  country  will  be  thoroughly  recognized  by  an  apprecia- 
tive posterity.     On  August  22,   1866,  Colonel  Christy  married  Miss 
Carrie  E.  Bennett,  a  native  of  Illinois  and  to  the  couple  were  born 
five  children,  of  whom  Lloyd  B.  is  the  oldest.     The  other  members  oi 
the  family  are  George,  Shirley,  Carroll  and  Carrie.

E.  J.  BENNITT,  the  president,  has  been  connected  with  the  bank 
since  its  organization,  being  called  to  the  presidency  in  1907.  His 
able  and  conservative  management  has  been  materially  felt  in  the 
growth  of  the  bank.  He  was  born  in  New  York  State  in  1853,  and 
completed  his  college  education  at  Union  College,  Schnectady,  N.  Y. 
At  his  graduation  as  a  civil  engineer  he  came  to  Arizona  by  ox  teams 
across  the  plains  in  1875.  From  that  time  until  1883  he  engaged  in 
various  occupations,  principally  mining,  farming  and  merchandizing, 
when  he  came  to  Phoenix  writh  Colonel  Christy  and  joined  him  in 
organizing  the  Valley  Bank.  Air.  Bennitt  was  also  one  of  the  organ- 
izers of  The  Phoenix  National  Bank.  Mr.  Bennitt  has  always  taken 
an  active  interest  in  the  development  of  the  section  and  is  the  head  of 
a  large  realty  company. 


LLOYD  B.  CHRISTY,  cashier  of  the  Valley  Bank  and  Mayor  of  Phoe- 
nix, is  one  of  the  best  known  bankers  in  the  state,  and  has  had 
numerous  honorary  positions  in  the  different  bankers'  associations  of 
which  he  is  a  member.  At  present  he  is  the  treasurer  of  the  State 
Bankers'  Association.  Mayor  Christy  is  the  oldest  son  of  Col.  Wil- 
liam Christy,  head  of  the  Christy  family  in  Arizona,  and  like  his  dis- 
tinguished father,  is  a  man  of  high  ideals  and  great  force  of  character, 
and  has  the  confidence  and  esteem  of  all  with  whom  he  comes  in  con- 
tact in  business,  official  or  social  life.  He  is  practically  in  charge  of 
the  Valley  Bank,  the  greatest  financial  institution  in  Arizona,  and  it 
is  due  to  the  Christy  family's  influence  that  the  institution  has 
reached  its  present  exalted  position. 

Lloyd  Bennett  Christy  was  born  in  Osceola,  Iowa,  and  received 
his  early  education  in  the  schools  of  that  state,  having  been  graduated 
(rom  the  Des  Moines  High  School.  The  excellent  training  of  the 
owa  schools  was  supplemented  by  a  course  in  the  University  of  Cali- 
fornia, from  which  institution  he  wTas  graduated,  being  among 
those  receiving  high  honors.  Mr.  Christy  is  one  of  the  leaders  in  the 
civic  life  of  Phoenix.  As  Mayor  he  has  made  an  excellent  record, 
introduced  a  number  of  reforms,  established  a  system  of  economies, 
and  judiciously  directed  expenditures.  As  a  result  Phoenix  is  one 
of  the  best  governed,  and  in  many  wTays  one  of  the  most  attractive, 
cities  in  the  country  today.  Gambling  and  vice  have  been  practically 
stamped  out,  and  civic  reform  has  reached  a  high  stage  owing  to 
Mayor  Christy's  strict  enforcement  of  the  laws.  As  a  scion  of  this 
most  noted  pioneer  family  he  is  a  prominent  factor  in  the  social  life 
of  Arizona,  and  his  beautiful  home  on  Center  street  is  presided  over 
by  one  of  Phoenix's  most  popular  and  estimable  matrons,  Mrs.  Mary 
E.  Culver  Christy,  a  descendant  of  another  prominent  family  of 
Arizona.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Christy  were  united  in  marriage  December 
25,  1898,  and  to  the  union  have  been  born  four  attractive  daughters, 
Mary,  Doris,  Margaret  and  Katherine.

Sacramento,  spending  some  years  with  the  company  and  being  pro- 
moted several  times  until  he  attained  the  position  of  express  messenger. 
He  then  took  up  railroading  as  assistant  paymaster  of  the  Southern 
Pacific  Company  at  San  Francisco,  continued  with  this  corporation  for 
a  number  of  years   until   he  accepted   a  position   with   the  Western 
Union  Telegraph  Co.,  and  came  to  Arizona  in  1887  to  become  man- 
ager of  their  office  at  Tucson.     For  twenty  years  he  remained  with 
this  corporation.     He  resigned  his  position  with  the  Western  Union  to 
become  cashier  of  the  Arizona  National  Bank,  of  Tucson,  and   for 
sixteen  years  was  a  prominent  figure  in  the  commercial  and  financial 
life  of  the  Old  Pueblo.     For  a  number  of  years  he  had  been  a  heavy 
stockholder  in  the  Valley  Bank,  and  a  member  of  its  board  of  directors, 
but  did  not  take  an  active  part  in  its  management  until  early  in  1913, 
when  he  was  elected  vice  president,  removed  his  family  to  Phoenix, 
and  has  since  been  assisting  in  the  active  management  of  the  largest 
bank  in  the  state.     During  his  long  residence  in  Arizona,  Mr.  Ormsby 
has  been  a  leader  in  all  affairs  pertaining  to  the  educational  develop- 
ment of  the  state  and  served  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Regents  un- 
der four  different  governors.     He  was  the  second  secretary  appointed 
to  the  University  of  Arizona,  and  his  work  has  been  instrumental  in 
the  upbuilding  of  this  institution.     Despite  his  activity  as  an  educa- 
tor, banker  and  businessman,  Mr.  Ormsby  is  best  known  for  the  part 
he  has  taken  in  the  fraternal  life  of  Arizona,  having  been  Past  Grand 
Master,   Past  Grand   High   Priest,   Past  Grand   Commander  of  the 
Knights  Templar  of  Arizona,  and  six  times  he  has  been   Master  of 
Tucson  Lodge  4,  F.  &  A.  M.     Mr.  Ormsby  is  a  native  of  the  Key- 
stone State,  having  been  born  at  Greensburg,  Pennsylvania,  October 
9,  1851.     His  parents  were  John  S.  and  Jane  Hindman  Ormsby.     He 
was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  Ella  Gorham,  member  of  a  prominent 
old  New  England  family,  and  to  Mrs.  Ormsby 's  influence  and  assist- 
ance is  largely  due  the  success  attained  by  Mr.  Ormsby. 


JOHN  R.  HAMPTON,  attorney,  banker  and  cattleman,  chosen  as  one 
of  the  electors  to  cast  the  first  ballot  for  the  State  of  Arizona  for 
president,  has  been  prominent  in  the  affairs  of  this  state  since  he  came 
here  twelve  years  ago.  He  was  born  in  Pantatoc,  Mississippi,  in  1865, 
his  parents,  John  W.  and  Louise  Hudson  Hampton,  being  descendants 
of  well  known  Southern  families.  After  having  received  the  benefit  of 
the  public  schools  he  was  graduated  from  the  University  of  Mississippi, 
afterwards  attending  Georgetown  University,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  with  an  LL.  B.  degrees  in  1890.  He  spent  several  years  in 
Washington,  D.  C.,  where  he  held  different  positions,  and  came  to 
Clifton  in  1901.  Here  he  engaged  in  the  real  estate  business,  as  well

two  years  later  was  elected  to  the  Council,  where  he  took  a  prominent 
part  in  the  deliberations  of  his  party.  He  was  chosen  out  of  a  large

Bank  of  Clifton.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Masons  and  Elks. 


SIDNEY  H.  STEWART,  assistant  cashier  of  the  Valley  Bank  of  Phoe- 
nix, Arizona,  was  born  in  Boston,  Massachusetts,  January  12,  1885. 
It  was  in  that  city  he  received  a  public  school  education  and  later  on 
received  his  commercial  training  in  the  Bryant  &  Stratton  Commer- 
cial School.  He  came  west  in  1902,  secured  a  position  as  collector  in 
The  Valley  Bank,  of  Phoenix,  and  the  fact  that  he  is  still  connected 
with  this  institution,  and  has  continued  to  advance,  grade  by  grade  to 
the  responsible  post  of  assistant  cashier,  demonstrates  clearly  that  he 
has  been  very  successful  in  his  chosen  profession.  He  was  appointed 
to  his  present  position  in  1908.  Mr.  Stewart  is  Assistant  City  Treas- 
urer in  Phoenix  and  a  director  of  the  Phoenix  Board  of  Trade.  He  is 
a  Mason  and  took  a  prominent  part  in  the  affairs  of  the  order  and 
held  several  offices  until  the  responsibilities  of  his  position  as  assistant 
cashier  required  so  much  of  his  time  that  it  was  necessarv  for  him  to

discontinue  his  activities  in  the  lodge.  He  organized  Company  A  of 
the  National  Guard  of  Arizona,  of  which  he  was  elected  First  Lieu- 
tenant, and  showed  such  marked  military  ability,  that  he  was  pro- 
moted to  the  position  of  Adjutant  of  the  Third  Battalion,  which  he 
held  for  some  time.  He  was  later  placed  on  the  retired  list,  after 
having  served  seven  years  in  the  National  Guard  of  Arizona,  and  dur- 
ing this  period  his  work  was  such  as  to  win  the  commendation  of  his 
superior  officers.  He  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  Nellie  E.  Bat- 
tin  in  January,  1912,  and  they  have  one  son,  Sidney  H.  Stewart,  Jr. 
Mrs.  Stewart  was  formerly  a  teacher  in  the  Phoenix  Union  High 
School  and  takes  a  prominent  part  in  the  social  affairs  of  the  city. 


LEBBEUS  CHAPMAN,  Assistant  Cashier  of  the  Valley  Bank,  the 
largest  bank  in  Arizona,  acquired  his  fundamental  knowledge  of  bank- 
ing in  the  very  best  school  the  country  affords,  one  of  the  large  na- 
tional banks  of  New  York  City,  The  American  Exchange  National 
Bank,  where  he  accepted  a  minor  position  wThen  but  16  years  of  age. 
Here  he  remained  to  advance  step  by  step  until  he  became  Assistant 
Credit  man,  a  position  which  in  New  York  City  requires  not  alone  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  banking  business,  but  a  complete  knowl- 
edge of  conditions  in  general  and  the  ability  to  understand  mankind. 
Mr.  Chapman  was  born  in  Englewood,  N.  J.,  October  6,  1877,  and 


204  WHO'S    WHO 

received  his  education  in  the  public  schools  of  that  town  and  Ruther- 
ford, N.  J.,  where  his  family  removed  when  he  was  ten  years  old. 
He  is  the  son  of  Nathan  Allen  Chapman,  a  direct  descendant  of  Lieut. 
Lebbeus  Chapman  of  the  Revolutionary  Army.  Mr.  Chapman  served 
as  Corporal  of  the  2nd  Regiment  of  New  Jersey  Volunteers  during 
the  war  with  Spain,  is  a  member  of  the  Spanish  War  Veterans  and 
the  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution,  and  retired  as  Veteran  of  the 
71st  Regiment  of  the  National  Guard  of  New  York  with  the  rank  of 
Sergeant.  After  his  return  from  the  Spanish  American  War  he  made 
New  York  City  his  home  until  1909,  when  he  removed  to  Colorado, 
and  in  1910  he  removed  from  there  to  Cheyenne,  Wyoming,  in  both 
of  which  cities  he  held  responsible  positions  in  large  national  banks. 
His  best  judgment,  however,  was  gradually  gaining  the  ascendency, 
and  in  March,  1911,  he  came  to  Arizona  and  settled  in  Phoenix. 
Here  his  eminent  business  qualifications  soon  won  for  him  the  high 
esteem  of  all  those  with  whom  he  has  come  in  contact  and  his  wisdom 
is  apparent  from  the  fact  that  he  has  chosen  a  practically  new  field  in 
which  to  give  ample  scope  to  his  ability  and  wide  experience  in  bank- 
ing work.  Mr.  Chapman  was  married  September  17,  1902,  to  Miss 
Lillian  Louise  Bebus,  and  they  have  one  daughter  Lillian  Louise 
Chapman. 


LEMUEL  C.  SHATTUCK,  General  Manager  of  the  Shattuck  Mine 
and  President  of  the  Miners  and  Merchants  Bank,  is  a  native  of  Erie, 
Pa.,  where  he  was  born  January  5,  1866.  Mr.  Shattuck  was  reared 
and  educated  in  the  vicinity  of  his  birth  and  lived  there  until  he  was 
about  seventeen  years  old.  His  ancestors  came  to  America  and 
were  among  the  very  old  settlers  of  the  New  England  colonies,  and 
from  there  his  paternal  great-great-grandfather  removed  to  Pennsyl- 
vania. It  has  ever  been  characteristic  of  those  who  bore  the  name 
that  they  succeed  in  the  lines  to  which  they  devoted  their  special  ener- 
gies and  they  have  invariably  been  noted  for  enterprise  and  progress. 
Mr.  Shattuck's  maternal  ancestors  were  among  the  early  Holland 
settlers  in  Pennsylvania.  At  the  age  of  seventeen,  when  Mr.  Shat- 
tuck started  out  to  make  an  independent  livelihood,  he  landed  in  a 
short  time  in  what  is  now  Cochise  County,  and  for  several  years  lived 
on  the  plains  and  in  the  mountains,  handling  cattle  and  dealing  in 
water  rights  and  ranches.  He  also  devoted  some  of  his  time  to  pros- 
pecting. He  reached  Bisbee  in  1888,  worked  in  the  Copper  Queen 
mine  where  he  remained  until  1890,  when  he  engaged  in  lumbering. 
In  the  same  year  he  was  married  to  Miss  Isabella  Grenfell,  and  they 
have  since  made  their  home  in  Bisbee.  Their  family  consists  of  four 
sons  and  two  daughters.  In  addition  to  the  business  associations  above 
mentioned  and  his  interests  in  Sonora,  Mexico,  Mr.  Shattuck  is 
President  of  the  Cochise  Development  Company,  Director  in  the 
Bisbee  Improvement  Company  and  the  Bisbee-Naco  Water  Com-

pany,  and  Treasurer  and  Director  of  the  Denn  Arizona  Company. 
He  also  served  as  member  of  the  first  City  Council  of  Bisbee,  and  of 
the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Cochise  County.  Politically  he  is  a 
Democrat,  and  he  is  an  active  member  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.  Thirty 
years  a  resident  of  Arizona,  the  greater  part  of  which  has  been  spent 
in  his  present  surroundings,  and  having  seen  the  County  of  Cochise 
formed  and  develop  into  what  it  is  today,  Mr.  Shattuck  is  rightfully 
reckoned  one  of  the  best  informed  men  on  all  matters  of  importance 
of  which  Cochise  can  boast. 


The  Bank  of  Bisbee 

THE  BANK  OF  BISBEE,  one  of  the  largest  banks  in  the  state,  and  the 
first  one  established  in  Cochise  County,  was  organized  in  January, 
1900,  and  authorized  under  the  Territorial  Bank  Act  to  commence 
business.  For  some  years  prior  to  its  organization  the  Copper  Queen 
Store  acted  as  depository,  as  a  matter  of  accommodation,  and  in  various 
capacities  assumed  responsibilities  ordinarily  assumed  by  banking 
houses  only,  until  this  became  too  heavy  a  tax  upon  their  time  and 
force.  Then,  recognizing  the  necessity  of  a  safe  depository  for  funds 
of  corporations  and  individuals,  the  following  gentlemen  organized 
The  Bank  of  Bisbee,  which  commenced  business  on  February  19, 
1900:  W.  H.  Brophy,  J.  S.  Douglas,  Ben  Williams,  J.  B.  Angius,  and 
M.  J.  Cunningham.  The  capital  stock  of  $50,000  was  all  paid  in  be- 
fore the  bank  was  opened  for  business.  Its  success  was  immediate,  as 
each  member  of  the  board  of  directors  \vas  well  known  in  the  com- 
munity, and  the  confidence  then  displayed  in  their  integrity  and  ex- 
ecutive ability  has  been  more  forcibly  shown  with  each  succeeding 
year.  The.  Bank  of  Bisbee  is  safe,  conservatively  managed,  meets  the 
wants  of  its  patrons  as  liberally  as  good  banking  customs  will  permit, 
and  stands  for  all  that  is  reliable  and  trustworthy.  It  has  its  own 
building  designed  expressly  for  banking  purposes,  in  which  are  incor- 
porated safety  deposit  vaults,  and  which  is  amply  protected  by  all  the 
safeguards  necessary  in  banking  houses.  The  officials  and  directors 
stand  foremost  among  the  eminent  and  substantial  men  of  Cochise 
County.  Mr.  Cunningham,  who  has  been  cashier  since  the  opening  of 
the  bank,  is  one  of  the  ablest  men  in  banking  circles  in  Arizona,  and  a 
man  whose  executive  ability  has  manifested  itself  in  many  ways  in  his 
present  position.  Mr.  W.  H.  Brophy  is  president  and  also  general 
manager  of  the  Phelps  Dodge  Mercantile  Company.  Mr.  J.  S. 
Douglas  is  vice  president,  and  a  son  of  Doctor  James  Douglas,  presi- 
dent of  Phelps  Dodge  &  Co.,  and  one  of  the  big  mining  men  of  the 
state.  The  directors  are:  Ben  Williams,  J.  S.  Douglas,  L.  D.  Rtck- 
etts,  W.  H.  Brophy  and  M.  J.  Cunningham.

M.  J.  CUNNINGHAM,  cashier  of  The  Bank  of  Bisbee,  was  born  in 
San  Francisco,  August  9,  1873,  but  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona 
since  1881,  when  his  parents,  Thomas  J.  and  Frances  Cashman  Cun- 
ningham, removed  to  the  Territory  and  located  at  Tombstone.  Mr. 

Cunningham  was  edu-

and  Arizona,  at  St. 
Vincent's  College,  Los 
Angeles,  and  St.  Mich-

New  Mexico,  from 
which  he  was  graduat- 
ed. After  leaving  col- 
lege he  held  various 
clerical  positions  until 
1900.  He  then  became 
interested  in  the  organi- 
zation of  The  Bank  of 
Bisbee,  was  elected  one 
of  its  board  of  direc- 
tors, and  chosen  cashier 
of  this  bank,  which  po-

among  the  ablest  men 
in  the  state,  and  he  has 
served  as  president  of 
the  Arizona  Bankers' 
Association.  He  wras 
also  one  of  the  original 
locators  of  the  city  of 

Douglas;  is  secretary  and  director  of  the  Bisbee-Naco  Water  Com-

served  as  both  chairman  and  secretary  of  the  Cochise  County  Central 
Committee,  and  although  actively  interested  in  his  party's  workings, 
has  never  held  an  official  position.  Fraternally  he  is  a  member  of  the 
Knights  of  Columbus,  Bisbee  Council,  and  of  Bisbee  Lodge  671  B.  P. 
O.  E.,  of  which  he  has  been  exalted  ruler,  and  also  District  Deputy

C.  O.  ELLIS,  Cashier  of  the  Bank  of  Douglas,  the  leading  bank  of 
the  Smelter  City,  has  been  a  potent  influence  in  this  bank's  advance- 
ment to  its  present  high  standard.  On  coming  to  Arizona  in  1895 
Mr.  Ellis  located  in  Prescott,  where  he  secured  a  position  as  book- 
keeper in  the  Prescott  National  Bank,  with  wThom  he  was  employed 
seven  years,  and  was  gradually  advanced  to  the  position  of  Assistant 
Cashier,  so  that  his  knowledge  of  the  banking  business  in  general  was 
both  thorough  and  practical,  and  the  ability  he  displayed  was  such  as 
to  win  for  him  a  reputation  that  spread  far  beyond  the  confines  of 
Yavapai.  In  1902,  when  The  Bank  of  Douglas  was  planned,  Mr. 
Ellis  was  selected  by  the  organizers  to  attend  to  the  details  of  the 
organization  of  this  institution  and  has  since  been  Cashier  of  The 
Bank  of  Douglas,  which  was  the  first  bank  opened  for  business  in 
the  city. 

This  bank  was  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  Territory  with 
an  authorized  capital  of  $50,000,  of  which  sum  $25,000  was  paid  in 
before  the  opening  of  business,  July  19,  1902,  and  shortly  increased 
to  $35,000.  The  management  of  The  Bank  of  Douglas  is  much  the 
same  as  that  of  The  Bank  of  Bisbee,  and  is  as  follows:  James  S.  Doug- 
las, president,  and  William  H.  Brophy,  vice  president.  Its  immedi- 
ate success  was  so  striking  as  to  set  at  rest  all  doubts  regarding  the 
stability  of  the  town  and  gave  to  Douglas  a  financial  standing  equal 
to  that  of  many  older  cities  with  much  greater  population.  Its  success 
has  also  been  continuous  and  the  business  of  the  bank  has  increased 
year  by  year.  In  its  directorate  are  some  of  the  most  prominent  busi- 
ness men  and  capitalists  of  the  county,  whose  policy  has  been  to  fur- 
nish good  service,  among  them  being  the  above  named  officials,  and 
M.  J.  Cunningham,  cashier  of  The  Bank  of  Bisbee,  S.  F.  Meguire,  E. 
R.  Pirtle,  and  F.  T.  Wright.  The  assistant  cashiers  are  Frank  H. 
Fisher  and  Eustice  C.  Piper.  Its  popularity  has  also  been  greatly 
enhanced  by  the  courtesy,  liberality  and  public  spirit  displayed  by  all 
of  the  officials.  They  transact  a  general  banking  business  and  have 
special  facilities  for  financial  operations  in  Mexico,  and  Northern 
Sonora  in  particular,  and  offer  their  services  to  the  public  with  all  the 
liberality  consistent  with  the  exercise  of  sound  judgment. 

Mr.  Ellis  is  a  native  of  Wisconsin,  and  was  born  in  Mari- 
nette  in  1873,  where  he  was  educated  in  the  public  and  high 
schools.  His  father,  C.  J.  Ellis,  was  a  native  of  Maine,  who  had 
removed  to  Wisconsin  to  engage  in  the  lumber  business,  and  before 
coming  to  Arizona,  Mr.  Ellis  had  been  employed  in  a  clerical  position 
with  a  large  lumber  firm  at  his  home.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Douglas 
Water  Commission,  President  of  the  Country  Club,  and  has  been 
President  of  the  Arizona  Bankers'  Association.  Mr.  Ellis  was  mar- 
ried in  1897  to  Miss  Charlotte  Wheeler,  of  Prescott.  They  have  one 
daughter,  Margaret.

The  Prescott  National  Bank 

THE  PRESCOTT  NATIONAL  BANK  was  organized  and  obtained  its 
charter  from  the  national  government  on  January  25th,  1893,  having 
a  paid  in  capital  of  $100,000.00.  F.  M.  Murphy  was  elected  presi- 
dent, Morris  Goldwater,  vice  president,  and  R.  C.  Woodruff,  cashier. 

On  January  25th,  1913,  an  extension  of  its  charter  for  another 
period  of  twenty  years  was  granted  by  the  Comptroller  of  the  Cur- 
rency. The  present  board  of  directors  is  composed  of  F.  M.  Murphy, 
M.  Goldwater,  F.  G.  Brecht,  James  A.  Home,  H.  A.  Cheverton  and 
R.  N.  Fredericks.  The  officers  of  the  bank  are  composed  of  the  fol- 
lowing: R.  N.  Fredericks,  president;  M.  Goldwater,  first  vice  presi- 
dent; F.  G.  Brecht,  second  vice  president;  H.  A.  Cheverton,  cashier; 
L.  C.  Derrick  and  P.  H.  Deming,  assistant  cashiers.  Of  the  original 
organizers  and  members  of  the  first  board  of  directors,  three  gentlemen 
are  now  on  the  present  board,  namely,  F.  M.  Murphy,  Morris  Gold- 
water  and  R.  N.  Fredericks. 

The  Prescott  National  Bank,  by  its  progressive,  yet  prudent  and 
conservative  methods,  has  been  a  large  factor  in  the  upbuilding  of 
Prescott  and  surrounding  country.  The  individual  members  of  the 
board  of  directors  are  men  known  for  their  activity  in  the  development 
of  the  resources  of  this  section,  particularly  in  railroading,  mining  and 
commercial  pursuits,  and  it  is  due  to  their  efforts  that  the  Prescott  Na- 
tional Bank  is  now  one  of  the  strongest  national  banks  in  this  state. 

To  the  original  capital  of  $100,000.00  it  has  added  a  surplus  fund 
of  $100,000.00  and  undivided  profits  of  $110,000.00,  which  assures 
its  directors  that  all  funds  entrusted  to  its  care  are  in  absolutely  safe 
and  reliable  hands  and  has  won  for  the  bank  the  confidence  of  its  cus- 
tomers. 

The  Prescott  National  Bank  owns  its  solid  and  substantial  banking 
house,  one  of  the  finest  in  Arizona,  which  is  thoroughly  equipped  with 
fire  and  burglar  proof  vaults,  safe  deposit  department  and  all  modern 
conveniences,  so  necessary  to  the  careful  handling  of  its  large  and

R.  N.  FREDERICKS,  president  of  The  Prescott  National  Bank,  presi- 
dent of  the  Bank  of  Jerome,  and  vice  president  of  the  Commercial 
Trust  and  Savings  Bank,  was  born  on  the  Island  of  Heligoland 
(Great  Britain)  on  March  13th,  1855.  He  came  to  Prescott  from 
San  Francisco  in  April,  1878,  since  which  time  the  City  a  Mile  High 
has  been  his  home.  While  not  active  in  politics,  he  served  four  years 
as  the  Democratic  member  of  the  Territorial  Board  of  Equalization 
under  the  administration  of  Gov.  N.  O.  Murphy.  In  Masonic  circles 
Mr.  Fredericks  has  been  very  active,  having  for  a  number  of  years  be- 
longed to  the  so-called  "Old  Guard".  He  was  Grand  Master  of 


212  WHO'SWHO 

Masons  during  1895,  Grand  High  Priest  of  Royal  Arch  Masons 
during  1897,  and  Grand  Commander  Knights  Templar  during  1898, 
at  present  holding  the  office  of  Grand  Treasurer  of  the  Masonic 
Grand  Lodge.  Mr.  Fredericks  is  also  quite  prominent  in  the  affairs 
of  the  Arizona  Bankers'  Association,  being  elected  its  first  president  in 
1903. 


MORRIS  GOLDWATER,  vice  president  of  Prescott  National  Bank  and 
Mayor  of  Prescott,  is  also  a  member  of  the  firm  of  M.  Goldwater  & 
Bros.,  leading  merchants  of  the  Southwest,  with  stores  at  Prescott  and 
Phoenix.  He  is  also  one  of  Arizona's  best  known  citizens,  staunchest 
Democrats,  and  ablest  business  men.  He  was  born  in  London,  Eng., 
in  1852,  but  in  1854  his  parents  arrived  in  California,  where  they  re- 
mained until  1861,  when  they  came  to  Arizona  and  settled  at  La  Paz. 
There  his  father  engaged  in  business,  and  in  1871  they  opened  a  store 
in  Phoenix.  Mr.  Goldwater  has  always  taken  an  active  part  in  bank- 
ing interests  and  is  now  secretary  of  the  State  Bankers'  Association. 
He  has  also  served  for  many  years  as  treasurer  of  this  association.  In 
1873  he  was  nominated  for  the  legislature  by  the  Democrats  of  Mari- 
copa  County,  but  the  election  proved  a  tie.  During  his  residence  in 
Phoenix,  Mr.  Goldwater  was  instrumental  in  having  the  military 
telegraph  line  built  into  the  city,  furnished  room  and  instruments  and 
was  the  first  operator.  In  1876  he  located  in  Prescott,  his  present 
home.  He  is  now  serving  his  third  term  as  Mayor,  and  has  been  a 
member  of  the  City  Council  during  several  terms.  He  has  also  been 
a  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  and  Board  of  School  Examiners 
of  Yavapai  County,  and  of  the  Territorial  Board  of  Equalization.  He 
was  member  of  the  Council  in  the  Twelfth  Legislature,  Chief  Clerk 
of  the  House  in  the  Thirteenth,  and  President  of  the  Council  in  the 
Twentieth.  Mr.  Goldwater  was  a  member  of  the  First  Democratic 
Convention  held  in  Arizona,  and  in  the  Legislature  was  an  indefatig- 
able worker  for  his  county  and  constitutents.  It  has  ever  been  noted 
that  Mr.  Goldwater's  relations  with  those  among  whom  he  worked, 
whether  politically  or  otherwise,  have  been  exceedingly  harmonious, 
while  his  sense  of  justice  and  of  what  is  due  the  other  side  have  been 
the  occasion  of  many  a  flattering,  but  deserved  comment.  He  is  an 
active  and  learned  Mason  of  the  thirty-second  degree,  member  of  the 
Mystic  Shrine,  and  Past  Grand  Master  of  the  order  in  Arizona.  He 
is  also  a  member  of  the  Elks  and  State  Treasurer  of  the  association. 


H.  A.  CHEVERTON,  cashier  of  the  Prescott  National  Bank,  son  of 
Edwin  George  and  Emily  Granger  Cheverton,  of  Illinois,  was  born 
in  Monmouth,  Illinois,  February  7,  1876.  He  was  educated  in  the 
public  schools  of  Chicago,  and  has  been  employed  in  various  capacities 
in  banks  since  completing  his  education.  For  some  years  he  was  em- 
ployed with  the  First  National  Bank,  Chicago,  and  later,  came  west, 
located  in  Los  Angeles,  and  was  employed  by  the  First  National  Bank 


IN      ARIZONA  213 

of  that  city.  As  cashier  of  the  Prescott  National  Bank,  one  of  the 
most  important  and  soundest  institutions  in  the  state,  Mr.  Cheverton 
maintains  a  leading  place  among  bankers  in  Arizona.  He  is  an  active 
member  of  the  Masonic  order,  and  belongs  to  Azatlan  Lodge,  F.  &  A. 
M.,  Prescott  Chapter  No.  2  Royal  Arch  Masons  and  Ivanhoe  Com- 
mandery,  Knights  Templar,  Prescott.  In  politics  he  is  a  consistent 
Democrat,  but  by  no  means  a  politician.  He  is  married  and  makes 
his  home  in  Prescott. 


F.  M.  MURPHY,  President  of  the  Santa  Fe,  Prescott  &  Phoenix 
Railroad,  was  born  in  Maine,  but  reared  and  educated  in  Wisconsin, 
and  has  been  identified  with  important  interests  in  Arizona  since 
1877.  Mr.  Murphy  inherited  the  solid  and  substantial  traits  charac- 
teristic of  the  New  Englander  and  has  developed  in  life  the  energy 
and  enterprise  peculiar  to  the  Westerner.  Though  he  has  wielded  a 
strong  influence  in  the  development  of  many  of  Arizona's  important 
resources  and  his  interests  have  been  varied,  he  is  best  known  through 
his  association  with  the  Santa  Fe,  Prescott  &  Phoenix  R.  R.,  the 
success  of  which  is  due,  in  a  large  measure,  to  his  wise  judgment  and 
boundless  energy.  He  has  been  connected  with  this  road  from  its  very 
beginning.  The  success  attained  by  the  Congress  gold  mine,  of  which 
he  was  first  superintendent,  can  also  be  attributed,  in  a  great  degree 
to  his  foresight;  as  he  placed  the  affairs  of  the  company  on  a  profitable 
basis,  and  under  his  management  $8,000,000  worth  of  gold  was 
taken  out  of  it.  He,  together  with  his  particular  friend,  Mr.  R.  N. 
Fredericks,  and  others,  founded  the  Prescott  National  Bank.  Mr. 
Murphy  was  president  of  the  bank  from  its  organization  in  1893, 
until  1910,  when  he  was  succeeded  by  Mr.  R.  N.  Fredericks.  Mr. 
Murphy  is  still  a  director  in  the  bank.  Since  coming  to  Arizona  Mr. 
Murphy  has  made  Prescott  his  home,  and  has  done  much  for  the  im- 
mediate good  of  the  town.  He  is  a  director  of  the  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce ;  was  the  builder  of  the  Yavapai  Club,  and  one  of  its  first  presi- 
dents. Here,  too,  he  has  a  splendid  home  and  is  owner  of  several  fine 
buildings.  He  is  reputed  to  have  brought  more  money  into  Arizona 
for  investment  than  any  other  one  man  in  the  State.  The  ability  he 
displayed  in  the  successful  management  of  his  road  during  the  panic 
of  1893  attracted  widespread  attention  and  gave  him  a  position  among 
the  recognized  financial  giants  of  the  country. 

As  president  of  the  Development  Company  of  America,  a  holding 
company  with  many  large  undeveloped  interests,  a  position  he  was 
prevailed  upon  to  take  in  addition  to  his  many  other  duties,  he  fell 
heir  to  a  lot  of  trouble,  as  the  company,  due  to  a  combination  of  un- 
avoidable circumstances,  failed,  forcing  upon  him  the  presidency  and 
management  of  many  subsidiary  companies  whose  properties  were  in 
process  of  development  and  most  of  which  were  financially  embar-

rassed.  He  never  shirked  the  new  responsibilities  and  if  spared  his 
health  will  yet  prove  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  concerned  that  the  subsi- 
diary companies  should  not,  and  would  not  have  failed,  had  they 
received  the  little  additional  support  that  they  had  to  have. 

Mr.  Murphy's  interests  in  Arizona  are  varied  and  much  good  will 
accrue  to  the  State  when  the  different  enterprises  with  which  he  is 
connected  are  again  in  active  and  successful  operation. 

Mr.  Murphy  expects,  with  the  help  of  his  associates,  as  soon  as  the 
Mexican  revolution  is  over,  to  build  what  is  known  as  the  Arizona, 
Mexico  &  Gulf  of  California  Railroad,  which,  with  the  Panama 
Canal  completed,  will  prove  to  be  one  of  the  most,  if  not  the  most 
important  influence  contributing  to  the  up-building  of  Arizona. 

Mr.  Murphy  is  for  Arizona  first,  last  and  all  the  time. 


L.  C.  DERRICK,  assistant  cashier  of  the  Prescott  National  Bank, 
was  born  in  Camden,  N.  J.,  September  29,  1879.  His  parents,  Wil- 
liam Franklin  and  Anna  Matilda  Derrick,  subsequently  removed  to 
Moorestown,  N.  J.,  and  there  Mr.  Derrick  was  graduated  from  both 
grammar  and  high  schools.  He  then  attended  Swarthmore  College, 
adjacent  to  Philadelphia,  from  which  he  was  graduated.  His  first  po- 
sition was  with  the  Girard  National  Bank,  one  of  the  largest  and 
oldest  banks  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  and  there  he  served  in  vari- 
ous capacities,  meantime  securing  his  fundamental  knowledge  of  bank- 
ing and  advancing  from  one  position  to  another.  Mr.  Derrick  came 
to  Arizona  the  beginning  of  April,  1905,  and  has  since  been  a  resident 
of  Prescott,  and  was  there  married  to  Miss  Helen  Morey.  Mr.  Der- 
rick is  a  member  of  Azatlan  Lodge  No.  1,  F.  &  A.  M.,  Prescott. 


PAUL  H.  DEMING,  assistant  cashier  of  the  Prescott  National  Bank, 
was  born  in  Colon,  Panama,  December  25,  1880,  of  American  par- 
ents, Sylvester  and  Sara  E.  Deming.  Mr.  Deming  was  educated  in 
the  public  schools  of  New  York  City  and  graduated  from  the  high 
school,  after  which  he  took  a  college  preparatory  course.  His  first 
position  was  in  the  New  York  office  of  the  Panama  R.  R.  Co.,  which 
was  followed  by  a  position  with  the  N.  Y.  C.  &  H.  R.  R.  Co.,  and 
he  was  later  employed  for  several  years  as  assistant  national  bank  ex- 
aminer in  New  York  City.  Mr.  Deming  has  been  in  Arizona  since 
July,  1907,  his  first  occupation  here  having  been  at  Jerome  as  clerk 
with  the  United  Verde  Copper  Company.  From  Jerome  he  went  to 
Prescott  to  accept  a  clerical  position  with  the  Prescott  National  Bank, 
and  has  recently  been  promoted  to  the  position  of  assistant  cashier. 
Mr.  Deming  married  Miss  Winifred  Fredericks,  of  Prescott.

The  Consolidated  National  Bank 

THE  CONSOLIDATED  NATIONAL  BANK,  Tucson,  is  the  oldest  and 
largest  bank  in  the  city,  and  in  its  history  is  interwoven  a  portion  of 
the  history  of  many  of  the  ablest  financiers  in  the  Southwest.  The 
first  bank  in  Tucson  was  The  Pima  County  Bank,  organized  in  the 
early  seventies,  which  subsequently  became  known  as  The  First  Na- 
tional Bank  of  Tucson.  The  Bank  of  D.  Henderson  was  later  organ- 
ized, and  in  1887,  The  First  National  Bank  of  Tucson,  having  sur- 
rendered its  charter  some  years  previous  and  become  The  Bank  of 
Tucson,  was  merged  with  the  bank  of  D.  Henderson,  and  thus  was 
formed  the  Consolidated  Bank  of  Tucson.  M.  P.  Freeman,  who  had 
been  cashier  of  The  Bank  of  D.  Henderson,  was  instrumental  in  this 
consolidation  and  became  cashier  of  the  newly  formed  bank,  while 
Mr.  B.  M.  Jacobs,  organizer  of  The  Pima  County  Bank,  and  until 
recently  president  of  The  Arizona  National  Bank,  was  the  first  presi- 
dent, and  Mr.  D.  Henderson,  first  vice  president.  Shortly  afterwards 
a  national  charter  was  obtained  and  the  name  changed  to  The  Con- 
solidated National  Bank,  by  which  it  is  now  known.  In  1898,  owing 
to  ill  health,  Mr.  Freeman  retired  from  The  Consolidated  National 
Bank,  and  the  following  year,  having  fully  recuperated,  was  one  of 
the  prime  movers  in  the  establishment  of  the  Santa  Cruz  Valley  Bank. 
In  1895  he  again  became  associated  with  The  Consolidated  National 
Bank  as  its  vice  president.  At  that  time  H.  E.  Lacy  was  president, 
and  H.  B.  Tenney,  cashier.  On  Mr.  Lacy's  retirement  from  the  presi- 
dency, Mr.  Freeman  was  elected  to  this  position,  which  he  continued 
until  late  in  the  year  1910.  During  the  latter  year,  Mr.  Charles  E. 
Walker,  now  cashier,  was  first  employed  with  this  institution  as  as- 
sistant to  President  Freeman,  and  at  the  close  of  the  year  on  the  lat- 
ter's  retirement,  a  reorganization  of  the  officials  followed,  when 
Albert  Steinfeld  became  president,  Epes  Randolph  vice  president,  and 
Charles  E.  Walker,  cashier.  During  Mr.  Freeman's  later  association 
with  The  Consolidated  National  Bank  his  influence  on  its  development 
was  material  both  in  a  personal  way  and  as  regards  the  benefits  de- 
rived from  his  superior  knowledge  of  financial  affairs,  sound  judg- 
ment, and  general  executive  ability.  The  Board  of  Directors  of  this 
institution  includes  the  above  named  officials,  Mr.  Freeman,  F.  H. 
Hereford,  Charles  H.  Bayless  and  Leo  Goldschmidt. 

The  Consolidated  National  Bank  is  a  U.  S.  Depositary  and  con- 
tinues to  grow  with  most  gratifying  results.  Its  last  statement,  dated 
Feb.  4,  1913,  shows  total  resources  amounting  to  considerably  more 
than  two  millions,  and  deposits  of  almost  one  and  three-fourths  mil- 
lions. The  capital  stock  of  the  bank  is  $100,000,  with  a  surplus  of 
the  same  amount  and  undivided  profits  of  $50,000.

While  sound  banking  principles  and  reliability  are  the  keynote  of 
the  success  attained  by  The  Consolidated  National  Bank,  its  contin- 
uous policy  of  employing  thoroughly  capable  assistants  in  each  depart- 
ment, and  of  according  to  the  public  the  utmost  courtesy,  has  been  a 
valuable  aid  toward  this  end. 


MERRILL  P.  FREEMAN,  LL.  D.,  pioneer,  financier,  and  retired 
business  man  of  Tucson,  has  been  a  resident  of  that  city  during  the 
past  thirty-two  years,  and  during  this  time  has  attained  to  a  promi- 
nence in  the  financial,  educational,  political  and  fraternal  life  of  the 
state  that  is  rarely  equalled  in  the  span  of  one  man's  life.  Dr.  Free- 
man was  born  in  Ohio,  in  February,  1844,  but  was  removed  to  Iowa 
\\ith  the  family  when  but  three  years  of  age,  and  crossed  the  plains  to 
California  by  ox  team  when  he  was  but  eight  years  old.  The  latter 
trip,  now  to  be  made  by  rail  in  three  days,  then  required  five  months, 
during  which  he  rode  horseback,  driving  loose  cattle  until  his  pony  was 
stolen  by  the  Indians.  His  playmates  for  the  first  few  years  of  resi- 
dence in  California  were  only  little  Indian  boys.  In  1857  Dr.  Free- 
man went  by  steamer  from  San  Francisco  via  the  Isthmus  to  the  east, 
where  he  took  a  four  years'  academic  course,  and  returned  to  Califor- 
nia, as  before,  by  ox  team,  this  trip  requiring  the  same  length  of  time 
as  the  previous  one,  and  although  but  seventeen  years  old,  he  did 
regular  guard  duty  against  the  Indians.  In  1862  he  removed  to  Ne- 
vada, wThere,  during  the  larger  part  of  a  residence  of  eighteen  years, 
he  was  engaged  in  mining  and  banking.  He  also  served  as  agent  for 
the  Wells  Fargo  Express  Company  at  a  number  of  points,  and  had 
charge  of  the  western  end  of  their  overland  stage  line  at  the  time  of 
the  completion  of  the  Central  Pacific  Railroad,  in  1869.  At  various 
times  during  his  residence  in  Nevada  he  held  offices  of  political  trust 
and  honor,  among  which  were  Regent  of  the  University,  Receiver  of 
the  U.  S.  Land  office,  Postmaster,  county  treasurer  and  chairman  of 
the  Republican  County  Central  Committee.  In  the  winter  of  1880- 
1881  he  came  to  Arizona  on  mining  business,  and  located  at  Tucson. 
In  1884  he  was  appointed  postmaster  of  that  city,  but  resigned  this 
position  in  1887  to  accept  the  position  of  cashier  of  the  Bank  of  D. 
Henderson.  As  cashier  of  the  Bank  of  D.  Henderson,  he  began  what 
has  proven  to  be  one  of  the  most  notable  and  influential  financial  re- 
cords in  Arizona's  history.  This  bank  wras  afterwards  consolidated 
with  the  Bank  of  Tucson  and  subsequently  became  the  Consolidated 
National  Bank,  and  during  most  of  the  intervening  years  it  has  had 
the  benefit  of  Dr.  Freeman's  wisdom  and  foresight  and  has  been 
guided  to  its  eminent  success  largely  because  of  adherence  to  his  sound 
banking  policy.  In  1888  he  severed  his  connection  with  The  Consoli- 
dated National  Bank,  retiring  for  a  time  from  active  financial  duties, 
and  later  established  the  Santa  Cruz  Valley  Bank,  now  the  Arizona

National  Bank,  another  of  the  state's  soundest  institutions.  In  1895 
he  returned  to  his  former  field  of  effort,  The  Consolidated  National 
Bank,  as  its  president,  and  until  compelled  by  a  nervous  breakdown 
in  1911  to  retire,  continued  in  the  president's  chair.  Many  years  of 
close  application  to  business  in  various  lines  had  so  impaired  the  health 
of  Dr.  Freeman  that  it  seemed  the  part  of  wisdom  to  dispense  with 
some  of  his  arduous  duties,  and  since  then,  although  generally  recog- 
nized as  "retired,"  he  is  a  keenly  alive  man  of  affairs,  whose  influence 
is  still  felt  and  whose  advice  is  still  sought  on  matters  of  importance. 
During  the  fifteen  years  Dr.  Freeman  was  president  of  the  Consoli- 
dated National  Bank  the  deposits  increased  from  something  more 
than  $100,000  to  one  and  one-half  millions,  which,  in  addition  to  being 
an  important  factor  in  the  history  of  the  bank,  is  a  high  tribute  to  its 
management. 

In  1889  Dr.  Freeman  became  closely  associated  with  the  University 
of  Arizona  as  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Regents,  which  position  he 
has  since  filled  at  intervals  for  a  total  of  sixteen  years,  ten  of  which  he 
served  as  chancellor. At  one  period,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  the 
governor,  resigning  as  chancellor  of  the  University  to  fill  a  term  on 
the  Territorial  Board  of  Equalization,  he  was  subsequently  returned  to 
his  old  position  as  chancellor.  In  191 1,  on  nomination  by  the  governor 
of  the  state,  he  was  invested  with  the  degree  of  LL.  D.,  "for  constant 
and  conspicuous  service  to  the  state  and  university,  for  devotion  to 
every  detail  of  his  high  office  as  regent  and  chancellor." 

In  1870  Dr.  Freeman  was  made  a  Mason,  and  has  since  received 
every  degree  in  Masonry  to  and  including  the  thirty-third.  He  has 
been  Grand  Master  of  two  separate  jurisdictions,  Nevada  and  Ari- 
zona, an  unusual  distinction,  and  President  of  the  Association  of  Past 
Grand  Masters  of  Arizona. 

During  his  years  of  residence  in  Arizona,  Dr.  Freeman  has  taken 
an  especial  interest  in  its  very  early  history — dating  back  to  Corona- 
do's  expedition  of  1540 — a  fondness  for  which  has  developed  into  what 
may  well  be  termed  a  hobby,  and  has  acquired  an  extensive  and  valu- 
able library  on  this  subject,  consisting  of  more  than  400  volumes,  some 
of  which  are  very  rare  and  from  one  to  two  hundred  years  old,  many 
of  them  out  of  print  and  very  difficult  to  get.  What  disposition  will 
ultimately  be  made  of  this  valuable  collection,  Dr.  Freeman  has  not 
definitely  decided,  other  than  that  it  will  never  be  permitted  to  leave 
Pima  County.  In  knowledge  of  early  events  in  the  history  of  the 
southwest,  he  probably  has  no  superior  in  the  state,  his  store  of  infor- 
mation along  these  lines  keeping  pace  with  his  accumulation  of  ma- 
terial bearing  on  the  subject. 

Having  lost  his  wife,  father  and  mother  many  years  ago,  Dr.  Free- 
man makes  his  bachelor  home  in  Tucson  at  the  Old  Pueblo  Club, 
which  he  was  largely  instrumental  in  establishing.

ALBERT  STEINFELD,  president  of  the  Consolidated  National  Bank 
of  Tucson,  has  been  connected  with  banking  and  financial  institutions 
for  a  number  of  years,  but  it  is  only  during  the  past  three  years  that  he 
has  become  actively  identified  with  actual  banking  business.  Having 
had  many  years  of  experience  in  the  mercantile  business  as  the  presi- 
dent and  general  manager  of  the  large  concern  which  bears  his  name, 
he  is  in  a  position  to  know  the  financial  wants  and  needs  of  the  public. 
Mr.  Steinfeld  has  been  a  stockholder  in  banking  institutions  in  Los 
Angeles,  San  Francisco,  El  Paso  and  other  cities  of  the  Southwest. 
He  has  also  been  a  member  of  the  board  of  directors  of  these  institu- 
tions and  was  influential  in  their  affairs.  Three  years  ago  he  was 
elected  president  of  the  Consolidated  National  Bank,  the  oldest  and 
largest  bank  in  Tucson,  and  has  since  given  his  entire  attention  to 
the  bank,  his  son  and  brother-in-law,  H.  J.  Donau,  having  assumed 
charge  of  the  mercantile  house  of  Albert  Steinfeld  &  Co. 

Albert  Steinfeld  is  a  native  of  Germany,  having  been  born  in  Han- 
over, December  23,  1854.  His  training  and  education  have  been 
obtained  mainly  in  this  country,  however,  as  the  family  removed  to 
New  York  City  when  Albert  was  but  eight  years  of  age,  and  he  re- 
ceived a  liberal  education  in  the  public  schools.  In  1869  he  obtained 
a  position  in  a  large  dry  goods  house,  retained  the  same  about  two 
years  and  then  came  west.  He  located  first  at  Denver,  where  he  was 
employed  by  his  uncle  in  the  same  line,  but  in  January  of  1871,  he 
proceeded  to  Tucson,  which  has  since  been  his  home.  Here  he  at 
once  became  connected  with  the  house  of  L.  Zeckendorf  &  Co.,  con- 
trolled by  his  uncles,  Messrs.  A.  and  L.  Zeckendorf,  and  after  several 
years  of  faithful  service,  was  admitted  to  the  firm  and  for  years  was 
resident  partner  and  manager. 

Mr.  Steinfeld,  being  an  alert  and  courteous  business  man,  soon  be- 
came immensely  popular  in  commercial  circles  in  and  about  Tucson, 
was  elected  president  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  and  later  vice 
president  of  the  Board  of  Trade  when  it  supplanted  the  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  and  has  long  been  recognized  as  the  head  of  mercantile 
interests  in  the  vicinity. 

Mr.  Steinfeld  has  long  been  identified  with  the  various  large 
industries  in  Southern  Arizona,  and  no  man  has  been  in  closer 
touch  than  he  with  the  development  of  its  resources,  not  only  of 
enterprises  with  which  he  is  directly  or  indirectly  connected,  but  by 
sound  advice  and  assistance  afforded  in  numerous  ways  to  others. 
The  present  firm  of  Albert  Steinfeld  &  Co.  is  one  of  the  greatest  in 
the  state,  in  general  merchandise,  and  their  stock  is  complete  and  of 
excellent  quality.  The  relations  existing  between  the  firm  and  their 
employes  are  most  admirable.  Mr.  Steinfeld  is  prominent  in  Ma- 
sonic affairs,  with  which  he  has  been  connected  for  many  years.  He 
was  married  February  15,  1883,  in  Denver,  Colo.,  to  Miss  Bettina  V. 
Donau,  daughter  of  Simon  Donau,  of  San  Francisco,  formerly  a  man- 
ufacturer of  San  Francisco,  who  died  in  Los  Angeles  several  years  ago.

LEO  GOLDSCHMIDT,  president  of  the  Eagle  Milling  Company, 
Tucson,  and  director  of  the  Consolidated  National  Bank,  was  born 
in  Hamburg,  Germany,  September  16,  1852.  He  was  educated  there 
in  the  public  schools  and  came  to  the  United  States  when  seventeen 
years  of  age,  went  immediately  to  New  Mexico  and  for  a  number  of 
years  lived  in  Santa  Fe.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1877  and  has  since 
been  a  resident  of  Tucson.  There  he  was  first  in  the  employ  of  L. 
Zeckendorf  &  Co.,  then  became  established  in  the  furniture  business, 
in  which  he  continued  for  several  years,  and  in  1887  he  sold  out  and 
purchased  an  interest  in  the  flour  mill  in  Tucson  then  owned  by  E.  N. 
Fish.  One  year  later  he  bought  out  the  entire  interest  of  Mr.  Fish 
and  the  business  was  incorporated  under  the  present  firm  name,  The 
Eagle  Milling  Company,  which,  from  a  very  small  beginning  has 
developed  into  the  largest  mill  of  its  kind  in  Arizona.  The  mill  im- 
ports grain  from  both  east  and  west,  but  uses  as  much  of  the  Arizona 
product  as  is  obtainable.  Not  only  does  the  mill  manufacture  flour, 
but  it  does  also  a  large  business  in  feed  and  grain.  The  management 
is  noted  for  the  fairness  and  liberality  with  which  it  treats  its  em- 
ployees, and  the  payroll  is  large,  adding  considerably  to  the  prosperity 
of  Tucson.  Alfred  J.  Goldschmidt  is  associated  with  his  brother  in 
the  business  and  is  vice  president  of  the  corporation,  of  which  they

The  Phoenix  National  Bank 

THE  PHOENIX  NATIONAL  BANK,  one  of  the  safest  and  most  intel- 
ligently conducted  in  the  State  of  Arizona,  was  organized  in  1892. 
Its  capital  stock  paid  in  is  $150,000,  and  its  surplus  and  undivided 
profits  amount  to  close  to  $200,000,  while  its  total  resources  aggre- 
gate almost  two  and  three-quarters  millions.  The  list  of  assets  of  this 
bank  contains  a  notable  item  in  the  total  of  its  loans  and  discounts, 
amounting  to  about  half  of  its  funds,  which  indicates  how  well  the  in- 
stitution serves  the  commercial  and  agricultural  interests  of  the  com- 
munity. For  years  this  bank  has  had  a  leading  place  on  the  roll  of 
honor  among  National  Banks  in  the  United  States. 

Physically  the  bank  is  equipped  in  a  manner  both  modern  and  con- 
venient in  offices  in  the  center  of  the  business  district  of  Phoenix,  and 
is  easy  of  access  to  tourists  and  residents  alike.  The  Phoenix  National 
Bank  is  one  of  the  specially  designated  depositories  for  funds  of  the 
United  States  Government,  has  the  patronage  of  many  leading  busi- 
ness and  professional  men,  firms  and  corporations,  and  by  means  of  its 
system  of  direct  communication  maintains  close  relations  with  Arizona, 
New  Mexico,  and  adjacent  districts  in  Old  Mexico.  Its  facilities  for 
making  collections  are  especially  good  and  the  prompt  attention  ren- 
dered affairs  of  its  correspondents  causes  its  services  to  be  exceptionally 
satisf actonr.  In  1905  this  bank  was  designated  a  depositary  for  funds 
of  the  United  States  Government  and  its  disbursing  officers. 

The  stockholders  of  The  Phoenix  National  Bank  are  owners  of  The 
Phoenix  Savings  Bank  and  Trust  Company,  which  commenced  busi- 
ness in  191 1. 

The  Phoenix  Savings  Bank  and  Trust  Company,  whose  capital  and 
surplus  amount  to  $150,000,  has  practically  the  same  stockholders  and 
is  under  the  same  management  as  The  Phoenix  National  Bank.  It  is, 
however,  an  entirely  separate  organization  from  The  Phoenix  Na- 
tional Bank,  and  occupies  entirely  different  offices.  This  institution 
receives  savings  accounts  upon  which  4%,  interest  is  paid,  acts  as  trus- 
tee and  is  empowered  to  perform  all  the  duties  of  executors,  adminis- 
trators, guardians,  trustees,  committees  and  the  like.  It  also  acts  as 
escrow  agent,  registrar,  fiscal  agent  and  trustee  for  corporations  and 
their  bondholders.  The  officers  of  the  savings  bank  are:  H.  J.  Mc- 
Clung,  president;  T.  E.  Pollock  and  M.  C.  McDougall,  vice  presi- 
dents; and  W.  C.  Foster,  secretary  and  treasurer. 

The  officers  of  The  Phoenix  National  Bank  are:  H.  J.  McClung, 
president;  T.  E.  Pollock  and  M.  C.  McDougall,  vice  presidents;  H. 
D.  Marshall,  Jr.,  cashier;  H.  M.  Galliver,  G.  G.  Fuller,  asst.  cash- 
iers. The  directors  are  E.  B.  Gage,  H.  T-  McClung,  T.  E.  Pollock,  M. 
C.  McDougall,  H.  D.  Marshall,  L.  H.  Chalmers,  J.  S.  Douglas,  W. 
A.  Drake  and  W.  F.  Staunton.  In  this  list  are  included  some  of  the 
most  important  financial,  commercial  and  professional  interests  of  the

H.  J.  McCujNG,  of  Phoenix,  Arizona,  president  of  the  Phoenix 
National  Bank,  and  president  of  the  Phoenix  Savings  Bank  &  Trust 
Company,  is  one  of  the  best  known  bankers  in  Arizona.  He  was  born 
in  Hennepin,  Illinois,  August  24,  1869.  His  parents  were  James  S. 
and  Lois  Clark  McClung.  After  having  finished  the  public  school 
course  in  Pueblo,  Colorado,  he  started  his  career  as  a  banker,  taking  a 
position  as  collector  in  the  First  National  Bank  of  Pueblo.  He  work- 
ed through  the  different  departments  to  the  position  of  assistant  cash- 
ier, which  he  resigned  in  March,  1902,  and  came  to  Arizona  to  take  a 
position  as  cashier  of  the  Phoenix  National  Bank.  He  was  made  vice- 
president  in  1904,  succeeding  Thomas  W.  Pemberton.  After  having 
held  this  position  for  eight  years,  he  was  elected  president,  April  12, 
1912,  succeeding  E.  B.  Gage.  Under  his  management,  the  Phoenix 
National  Bank  has  become  one  of  the  strongest  financial  institutions  in 
the  Southwest. 

Mr.  McClung  has  taken  an  active  part  in  the  civic  life  of  Phoenix 
and  has  also  been  prominent  in  state  affairs.  He  was  a  member  of 
the  board  of  directors  organized  to  promote  the  Arizona  State  Fair 
and  the  success  of  this  venture  was  largely  due  to  the  efforts  of  himself 
and  his  colleagues  in  its  behalf.  He  was  on  the  first  paving  committee 
appointed  in  Phoenix,  and  has  taken  much  interest  in  the  promotion 
of  this  and  other  improvements  in  his  home  city. 

He  was  united  in  marriage  with  Miss  Mattie  M.  Drake  and  to 
the  union  have  been  born  two  children,  Nellie  and  Billy. 


M.  C.  McDouGALL,  vice  president  and  director  of  the  Phoenix 
National  Bank  and  vice-president  and  director  of  the  Phoenix  Sav- 
ings Bank  &  Trust  Company,  was  born  in  Ontario,  Canada,  October 
31,  1858,  and  spent  his  boyhood  there.  After  having  completed  the 
common  school  course  of  the  County  of  Bruce,  he  was  graduated  from 
the  high  school  and  later  spent  three  years  in  Saint  Catherine's  Colle- 
giate Institute  near  Niagara  Falls,  Ontario.  He  came  to  the  United 
States  in  January,  1883,  and  started  in  the  general  merchandise  busi- 
ness in  Heppner,  Oregon.  Six  years  later,  he  moved  to  Puget  Sound 
and  for  another  span  of  six  years  was  engaged  in  the  mercantile  busi- 
ness in  that  section.  The  following  two  years  he  spent  in  travel.  He 
came  to  Arizona  in  1897  and  since  that  time  has  been  actively  identi- 
fied with  the  business,  social,  fraternal  and  civic  life  of  Phoenix.  He 
established  the  McDougal  &  Cassou  Co.,  clothiers,  furnishers  and

of  its  line  in  the  Southwest.  During  a  large  part  of  the  time  he  has 
spent  in  Phoenix,  he  has  been  identified  with  the  hanking  business. 
He  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Phoenix  Savings  Bank  &  Trust 


M.  C.  McDougall 

Company,  which  is  affiliated  with  the  Phoenix  National  Bank.  At 
the  annual  meeting  held  in  January,  1911,  he  was  made  vice-president 
of  both  banks,  and  since  that  time  has  devoted  most  of  his  time  to 
these  institutions.  Through  his  long  association  with  the  leading 
professional  and  business  men  of  Arizona,  he  has  become  thoroughly 
familiar  with  the  financial  situation  and  his  appointment  to  this  posi- 
tion has  proven  most  beneficial  to  the  bank.  Mr.  McDougall  is  of 
Scotch  descent,  his  parents,  Coll  and  Ann  Clark  McDougall,  having 
been  among  the  pioneer  Scotch  settlers  of  Ontario.

iner. He  came  to  Arizona  in  1907  as  receiver  of  the  Globe  National

a  native  of  Minnesota,  having  been  born  at  Chatfield,  March  18, 
1862.  His  parents,  George  W.  and  Sophronia  S.  Garfield  Fuller, 
were  among  the  pioneer  settlers  of  that  state.  He  completed  a  high 
school  course  and  was  then  engaged  in  various  occupations  for  a  num- 
ber of  years  in  Minneapolis.  He  entered  the  financial  field  as  auditor 
of  the  Union  Investment  Company,  owners  of  a  number  of  banks  in 
Minnesota  and  Dakota.  He  received  his  training  as  secretary  of  the 
Interstate  Grain  Company  of  Minneapolis,  and  credit  manager  of  the 
Northwestern  Knitting  Company  of  the  same  city.  While  agent  of 
the  Union  Investment  Company,  he  decided  to  make  banking  his  pro-

Arizona  and  immediately  came  to  Phoenix.  For  the  past  few  years 
he  has  been  connected  with  the  Phoenix  National  Bank,  and  was 
made  assistant  cashier  in  the  fall  of  1912.  He  was  united  in  marriage

The  National  Bank  of  Arizona 

THE  NATIONAL  BANK  OF  ARIZONA,  the  oldest  bank  in  Phoenix, 
was  established  in  1878,  and  in  1887  was  chartered  as  a  national  bank 
under  the  name  of  the  National  Bank  of  Arizona,  with  a  capital  stock 
of  $100,000.  The  capital  stock  has  been  increased,  however,  until 
it  now  amounts  to  $200,000.  The  history  of  this  bank  has  been  one 
of  steady  progress,  because  of  the  ability  and  wisdom  of  its  manage- 
ment which  have  won  the  entire  confidence  of  the  public,  individual, 
firm  and  corporation. 

The  National  Bank  of  Arizona  conducts  its  business  on  the  ground 
floor  of  their  own  building,  which  is  built  of  brick  and  concrete,  four 
stories  high,  and  situated  on  the  corner  of  Central  Avenue  and  Wash- 
ington Street.  Their  counting  rooms  have  been  especially  designed 
that  the  business  may  be  carried  on  with  the  greatest  degree  of  ease 
and  safety  to  customers  and  the  bank  itself.  Every  precaution  known 
in  banking  circles  has  been  taken,  and  their  massive  steel  vaults  are 
time  locked,  fire  and  burglar  proof.  In  addition  to  that  essential  in 
banking,  The  National  Bank  of  Arizona  has  the  advantage  of  a  large 
capital,  sufficient  to  meet  all  requirements,  and  an  able  and  efficient 
management  under  honest  and  conservative  officials. 

The  active  officers  of  this  bank  are  all  substantial  men  and  well 
known  in  Phoenix  and  vicinity,  men  of  the  highest  standing  as  regards 
integrity  and  real  worth.  Emil  Ganz,  president,  has  been  a  resident  of 
the  Valley  for  more  than  thirty  years,  and  at  the  head  of  the  bank's 
affairs  for  about  seventeen  years.  S.  Oberfelder,  cashier,  came  to 
Phoenix  from  Omaha  sixteen  years  ago  to  accept  a  position  as  assist- 
ant cashier,  and  in  1897  he  was  elected  to  his  present  position.  His 
conduct  of  affairs  during  these  years  is,  of  itself,  sufficient  evidence  of 
his  knowledge  of  banking  and  general  ability.  These  men,  together 
with  Charles  Goldman,  vice  president;  W.  H.  Kay,  Ed  Eisele,  J. 
Thalmeimer  and  Jacob  Miller,  form  the  board  of  directors.  These 
are  all  among  the  representative  business  men  of  the  vicinity  whose 
sterling  worth  adds  a  note  of  assurance  to  the  bank's  reliability. 


EMIL  GANZ,  president  of  the  National  Bank  of  Arizona,  Phoenix, 
was  born  in  Germany,  August  18,  1838,  and  in  1858  came  to  Ameri- 
ca. In  his  native  country  he  wTas  educated  in  the  public  schools,  and 
at  the  age  of  fourteen  was  apprenticed  to  a  tailor,  and  having  become 
a  journeyman  tailor,  he  worked  at  his  trade  in  the  vicinity  of  his  home 
for  several  years.  On  coming  to  this  country  he  worked  for  several 
years  at  his  trade  in  New  York  City  and  Philadelphia,  and  later  mov- 
ing to  Cedartown,  Ga.,  conducted  a  business  of  his  own.  While  resid- 
and  in  the  latter  place,  he  attained  to  prominence  in  the  community, 
and  was  appointed  postmaster  for  a  term.  During  the  Civil  War  Mr.

Ganz  served  for  more  than  three  years  in  the  Confederate  Army,  and 
was  engaged  in  some  of  the  most  important  battles,  and  at  the  defense 
of  Richmond,  and  for  seven  months  was  a  Federal  prisoner.  When 
peace  was  declared,  Mr.  Ganz  located  for  a  short  time  in  Quincy,  111., 
and  removed  to  Kansas  City,  where  he  was  engaged  in  tailoring  and 
gents'  furnishing  business  for  several  years.  From  1872  to  1874  he 
was  similarly  engaged  in  Las  Animas,  Colorado,  and  since  the  latter 
year  has  uninterruptedly  been  a  resident  of  Arizona.  Locating  first  in 
Prescott,  he  successfully  managed  the  Capitol  Hotel  until  1887,  when 
he  came  to  Phoenix  and  became  proprietor  of  the  well  known  hotel 
Bank  Exchange,  which  was  destroyed  by  fire  in  1885.  In  1895  he  be- 
came interested  in  the  National  Bank  of  Arizona,  and  was  elected  its 
president,  which  position  he  has  since  held.  The  National  Bank  of 
Arizona  is  now  one  of  the  largest  and  most  prosperous  banks  in  the 
state,  and  its  president  one  of  the  best  known  and  highly  esteemed 
bankers  of  the  Southwest,  and  to  his  judgment  and  ability  is  due  much 
of  the  success  which  this  institution  has  met  with.  Mr.  Ganz  has  also 
been  interested  in  insurance  work,  and  has  represented  several  of  the 
largest  fire  insurance  companies.  A  staunch  Democrat,  he  has  enjoyed 
the  highest  regard  of  the  best  political  element  of  the  locality,  of  which 
he  has  received  evidence  by  having  been  three  times  elected  to  the  office 
of  Mayor  of  Phoenix  and  as  member  of  the  city  council.  In  his  ad- 
ministration of  municipal  affairs  Mr.  Ganz  displayed  a  broad  knowl- 
edge of  the  requirements  of  the  office,  and  by  means  of  his  tact  and 
ability  as  a  leader,  won  the  confidence  and  admiration  of  his  towns- 
men. He  is  a  prominent  member  of  the  Masonic  order,  in  which  he 
has  attained  the  thirty-second  degree.  Mrs.  Ganz  was  formerly  Miss 
Bertha  Angelman,  of  New  York  City. 


SIMOX  OBKRFELUER,  cashier  of  The  National  Bank  of  Arizona,  has 
been  identified  with  the  financial  life  of  Arizona  during  the  past  seven- 
teen years,  and  during  this  time  has  aided  in  bringing  this  bank  to  its 
present  state  of  efficiercy.  Mr.  Oberfelder  came  to  Arizona  to  take 
the  position  of  assistant  cashier  of  The  National  Bank  of  Arizona, 
and  the  next  year,  having  shown  such  marked  ability,  was  promoted 
to  the  position  of  cashier,  which  carries  with  it  practically  the  man- 
agement of  the  institution.  Mr.  Oberfelder  is  a  native  of  Germany 
and  was  born  in  1857.  His  parents  were  Meyer  and  Babetta  Hellman 
Oberfelder.  Mr.  Oberfelder  was  given  the  benefit  of  the  excellent 
school  system  of  Germany.  He  also  had  a  college  course.  He  spent 
several  years  in  different  eastern  states  and  came  to  Arizona  from 
Omaha,  where  he  had  been  connected  with  one  of  the  strong  firms  of 
that  city.  He  has  been  a  leader  in  the  civic  and  financial  life  of  Ari- 
zona and  ranks  as  one  of  her  most  able  financiers.  He  was  married  to 
Miss  Fannie  M.  Ran,  the  daughter  of  a  well  known  Federal  officer  of 
a  Kentucky  regiment  in  the  Civil  War.  Mr.  Oberfelder  is  a  member 
of  the  Masons.

JOHN  J.  SWEENEY,  assistant  cashier  of  the  National  Bank  of  Ari- 
zona, was  born  in  Australia  in  1859,  but  he  came  to  America  before 
he  was  one  year  old,  and  so  may  be  considered  practically  an  Ameri- 
can. His  parents,  John  and  Catherine  Arno  Sweeney,  came  to  San 
Francisco  in  1860,  and  he  had  the  benefit  of  the  common  schools  of 
California,  as  well  as  three  years  in  Saint  Mary's  College  in  San  Fran- 
cisco. Shortly  after  this,  he  came  to  Arizona  and  has  taken  a  leading 
role  in  the  commercial,  financial  and  civic  life  since  that  time,  but  he 
is  best  known  as  a  banker.  He  started  in  as  bookkeeper  at  the  Na- 
tional Bank  of  Arizona  and  was  promoted  from  time  to  time  until  he 
reached  his  present  position,  that  of  senior  assistant  cashier,  in  1898. 
He  is  the  general  agent  of  the  United  States  Fidelity  &  Guaranty 
Company,  and  is  also  connected  with  a  number  of  the  prominent  com- 
mercial enterprises  of  this  city.  For  a  number  of  years  he  was  proprietor 
of  several  meat  markets  with  headquarters  in  Phoenix,  and  this  ven- 
ture, like  the  others  with  which  he  has  been  affiliated,  was  entirely 
successful.  He  is  one  of  the  best  known  fraternal  men  in  the  South- 
west, and  is  Past  Grand  Master  of  the  F.  &  A.  M.  of  Arizona;  Past 
Grand  High  Priest  of  the  Royal  Arch  Masons  of  Arizona;  Past 
Grand  Commander  of  Knights  Templar  of  Arizona;  Past  Potentate

betterment  of  school  affairs  and  for  a  number  of  years  served  as  school 
trustee.  He  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  H.  Lillian  Kelly,  De- 
cember 21,  1887,  and  they  are  the  parents  of  two  children,  Mrs.  J.  B. 
Rice  and  Paul  Sweeney.

Charles  Goldman 

CHARLES  GOLDMAN,  vice  president  of  the  National  Bank  of  Ari- 
zon,  Phoenix,  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona  for  forty-two  years,  and 
of  the  city  of  Phoenix  all  but  five  years  of  that  time.  At  the  time  of 
his  arrival  in  Phoenix  not  a  frame  or  brick  store  had  been  erected  and 
but  few  in  that  day,  and  those  of  exceptional  foresight,  would  hazard 
a  prediction  that  it  would  develop  into  the  prosperous  city  it  is  today. 
In  the  city's  growth  and  development  in  every  way  Mr.  Goldman  has 
been  a  strong  influence.  Born  in  Bavaria,  Germany,  October  17, 
1845,  he  received  a  practical  industrial  education  in  the  schools  of  his 
native  country.  In  the  spring  of  1866  he  came  to  this  country,  and 
the  first  year  was  employed  in  Philadelphia.  He  then  went  to  Cali- 
fornia by  way  of  the  Isthmus  of  Panama,  and  remained  there  until 
1871,  when  he  came  to  Arizona.  He  first  located  in  Prescott,  and 
then  was  engaged  in  general  merchandise  in  the  Williamson  Valley. 
This  business  was  disposed  of  to  purchase  the  business  of  his  brother 
in  Phoenix,  and  another  brother  joining  him  in  this  enterprise,  the 
firm  of  Goldman  Brothers  was  formed.  He  also  became  interested  in 
ranches  and  cattle  and  gradually  increased  his  holdings  in  these  in- 
dustries, which  proved  to  him  a  marked  success  financially.  He  helped 
organize  The  National  Bank  of  Arizona,  and  for  many  years  was  one 
of  its  Board  of  Directors.  He  has  also  been  an  active  member  of  the

First  National  Bank  of  Nogales 

THE  FIRST  NATIONAL  BANK  OF  NOGALES,  one  of  the  most  reli- 
able financial  institutions  in  Arizona,  was  organized  about  ten  years 
ago  and  numbers  among  its  directors  and  shareholders  some  of  the 
most  enterprising  men  of  the  town.  Its  cash  capital  is  $50.000,  sur- 
plus and  undivided  profits  $65,000,  and  deposits  but  little  less  than 
$500,000.  While  its  business  is  conducted  along  safe  and  conserva- 
tive lines,  its  policy  has  always  been  broad  and  liberal.  The  First 
National  Bank  is  depository  for  public  funds  of  Nogales,  the  County 
of  Santa  Cruz  and  for  the  United  States.  The  funds  of  the  Post- 
office,  the  Immigration  Office,  and  the  Custom  House  are  also  depos- 
ited with  this  institution.  The  record  made  by  this  bank  is  one  of 
which  the  directors  and  officers  may  well  be  proud,  and  during  the 
panic  of  1907  it  was  one  of  the  few  banks  in  the  state  which  met  all  of 
its  obligations  without  hesitation  or  reservation. 

The  reputation  of  The  First  National  Bank  of  Nogales  for  per- 
manence and  stability  is  thoroughly  well  known  over  all  Arizona,  and 
no  one  circumstance  has  ever  done  more  to  establish  a  high  standard 
for  any  financial  institution  than  the  able  manner  in  which  this  bank 
coped  with  the  wants  of  its  customers  during  the  trying  period  refer- 
red to  by  its  announcement  that  it  knew  no  limit  short  of  the  total 
amount  of  a  customer's  deposit.  Checks  were  readily  taken  every- 
where, and  when  presented  at  the  bank  itself,  were  cashed  with 
alacrity.  Its  record  in  this  particular  has  given  it  a  place  among  the 
sound  and  solid  financial  institutions  of  the  country  and  in  the  estima- 
tion of  the  entire  business  and  commercial  world  that  is  treasured 
among  its  most  valuable  assets. 

The  First  National  Bank  conducts  the  usual  Exchange  and  Collec- 
tion business  in  addition  to  the  regular  banking  lines,  and  in  every 
way  is  especially  accommodating  to  customers.  It  also  conducts  a 
safety  box  department  for  deposit  of  valuable  documents,  bonds, 
money,  jewels,  etc.,  and  a  Mexican  department  for  the  buying  and 
selling  of  Mexican  money.  This  bank  has  a  large  and  extensive  busi- 
ness down  the  West  Coast  of  Mexico.  The  Directors  are  Theo. 
Gebler,  E.  Titcomb,  Phil  Herold,  Bracey  Curtis,  L.  Lindsey  and  H. 
M.  Clagett.  Bracey  Curtis  is  president;  Phil  Herold,  vice  president; 
Otto  H.  Herold,  cashier..  Beside  a  strong  and  liberal  policy  in  the 
conduct  of  the  business  of  the  sterling  banking  institution  confided  to 
their  care,  the  officials  of  the  First  National  Bank  give  attention  to  the

BRACEY  CURTIS,  president  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Nogales, 
wras  born  in  Massachusetts  in  1870,  and  is  a  descendant  of  a  family  of 
old  New  England  stock  which  was  prominently  identified  with  the 
great  manufacturing  interests  of  the  East.  Mr.  Curtis  has  been  a 
resident  of  Arizona  about  13  years,  which  he  has  lived  in  Nogales. 
He  was  first  associated  with  the  First  National  Bank  of  Nogales  as 
cashier,  and  his  judicious  administration  in  this  capacity  was  an  invalu- 
able aid  to  the  bank  in  its  early  days.  This  bank  has  established  a 
reputation  for  solidity  and  ability  to  meet  emergencies  that  can  not  be 
excelled  by  the  oldest  banks  in  the  country,  regardless  of  size  or  loca- 
tion. Mr.  Curtis  was  the  delegate  from  Santa  Cruz  County  to  the 
Constitutional  Convention,  elected  on  the  Republican  ticket,  and 
served  on  the  Legislative,  Private  Corporations  and  Banks  Commit-

effort  to  the  building  up  of  the  community  in  which  he  resides,  especi- 
ally in  the  capacity  of  President  of  the  Nogales  Board  of  Trade.  He 
has  also  been  Chief  of  the  Fire  Department,  consisting  of  volunteers,

Navajo-Apache  Bank  &  Trust  Co. 

THE  NAVAJO-APACHE  BANK  &  TRUST  Co.,  whose  head  office  is 
at  Winslow,  and  branches  at  Holbrook  and  St.  John,  is  the  outgrowth 
of  a  small  bank  which  was  organized  in  1900  by  W.  H.  Burbage  and 
Fred  Nelson.  This  was  known  as  the  Navajo  County  Bank,  and  was 
established  at  Winslow  with  a  capital  of  but  $10,000.  Mr.  Burbage 
was  president,  and  Mr.  Nelson,  vice  president.  In  1905  these  same 
gentlemen  organized  the  Apache  County  Bank  &  Trust  Co.,  at  St. 
Johns,  of  \vhich  Mr.  Nelson  was  vice  president  and  cashier.  Four 
years  later  the  two  were  consolidated  under  the  name  "The  Navajo- 
Apache  Bank  &  Trust  Co.",  which  began  business  with  a  paid-in 
capital  of  $100,000.  This  is  the  largest  bank  in  the  northern  part  of 
the  state,  and  from  its  beginning  has  met  with  general  favor  because 
of  its  sound  and  liberal  policy. 


WILLIAM  H.  BURBAGE  was  born  in  New  York  City  in  1854,  but 
having  lost  both  parents  when  but  seven  years  of  age,  the  greater  part 
of  his  education  was  acquired  in  a  Catholic  institution  in  Ohio,  where 
he  grew  to  manhood  and  laid  the  foundation  for  a  successful  business 
career.  In  1878  he  started  West,  spent  some  time  prospecting  in 
Kansas  and  other  sections,  and  in  1878  located  in  Trinidad,  Colorado, 
where  he  took  a  position  in  the  store  of  the  Colorado  Trading  Com- 
pany. In  1882  he  moved  on  to  New  Mexico  and  was  employed  by  a 
mercantile  house  having  branches  in  Santa  Fe  and  Albuquerque.  Two 
years  later  he  wnt  to  Holbrook  and  forming  a  partnership  with  J.  Q. 
Adamson  and  Milton  Chenowith,  they  opened  a  general  mercantile 
store  under  the  name  of  Adamson  and  Burbage,  and  for  five  years  did 
a  large  and  profitable  business.  Then  they  sold  out  and  proceeded  to 
Los  Angeles,  where  they  embarked  in  the  wholesale  meat  business. 
Before  leaving  Ohio  Mr.  Burbage  had  devoted  two  years  to  the  study 
of  law  in  Hiram  College,  but  until  he  reached  Los  Angeles  had  very 
little  opportunity  to  proceed  further  with  his  work  in  that  direction. 
While  in  the  meat  business  there,  however,  he  spent  his  leisure  hours 
in  study,  and  in  April,  1893,  was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  Supreme 
Court  of  California.  The  same  year  he  returned  to  Arizona,  and 
opened  an  office  in  Winslow.  The  following  year  he  was  elected 
District  Attorney  of  Apache  County  and  re-elected  in  1898  and  1900. 
He  was  also  appointed  local  attorney  for  the  Santa  Fe  R.  R.  at  Wins- 
low.  In  1895  he  had  formed  a  partnership  with  Mr.  F.  W.  Nelson, 
and  in  1900,  with  Mr.  Nelson,  organized  the  Navajo  County  Bank,  of 
which  he  was  chosen  president,  and  has  since  continued  at  the  head  of 
that  institution.  In  1905  Mr.  Burbage  and  Mr.  F.  W.  Nelson 
organized  the  Apache  County  Bank,  of  St.  Johns,  Arizona,  and 
became  president  and  vice  president  and  cashier,  respectively. 
In  the  fall  of  1909  the  Navajo  County  Bank  of  Winslow,  and

the  Apache  County  Bank  of  St.  Johns,  merged  under  the  present 
name  of  the  Navajo-Apache  Bank  &  Trust  Co.,  with  $100,000  paid 
in  capital,  of  which  institution,  with  bank  at  Winslow  and  branches 
at  St.  Johns  and  Holbrook,  Mr.  Burbage  became  and  is  president. 
Mr.  Burbage  is  the  owner  of  a  large  amount  of  real  estate  in  that 
vicinity,  and  a  man  whose  ventures  in  various  fields  of  activity  have 
been  attended  by  success.  In  1896  he  was  delegate  to  the  National 
Democratic  Convention  at  St.  Louis,  and  from  1896  to  1900  repre- 
sented Arizona  on  the  National  Democratic  Committee.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus,  and  is  also  a  member  of  the 
Elks,  of  which  he  has  been  Exalted  Ruler  in  the  local  lodge. 


FRED  W.  NELSON,  County  Attorney  of  Apache  County  and  Vice 
President  of  the  Navajo-Apache  Bank  &  Trust  Co.,  in  charge  of  the 
St.  Johns  Branch,  was  born  in  Manchester,  N.  H.,  winter  of  1857, 
but  reared  and  educated  in  NewT  York  and  Chicago,  to  which  latter 

place  he  removed  in 
1870,  and  resided  until 
1883,  when  he  came  to 
New  Mexico.  In  the 
early  part  of  1884  he 
came  to  Arizona  and 
took  up  his  residence 
near  Springerville.  In 
1891,  having  been  ap- 
pointed under  sheriff  ot 
Apache  County,  he  made 
his  home  in  St.  Johns, 
the  county  seat.  In  1892 
he  was  elected  County 
Recorder  and  creditably 
discharged  the  duties  of 
that  office  as  well  as  be- 
ing in  charge  of  the 
sheriff's  office.  In  1895, 
when  his  term  of  office 
had  expired,  he  moved  to 
Winslow,  and  took  an 
active  interest  in  the 
creating  of  Navajo 
County.  His  influence 
aided  in  securing  the 
passage  of  the  bill  dividing  Apache  County  and  making  Navajo,  and 
his  efforts  in  this  respect  were  rewarded  by  appointment  as  first 
County  Recorder  and  Clerk  of  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  new  coun- 
ty, which  positions  he  filled  during  1895  and  1896.  In  the  mean- 
time he  had  been  devoting  much  time  to  the  study  of  law  and  in  1895

was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  District  Court  at  Holbrook.  The 
same  year  he  entered  into  partnership  with  W.  H.  Burbage.  In 
1900  Mr.  Nelson  and  Mr.  Burbage  organized  The  Navajo  County 
Bank  at  Winslow,  with  a  capital  of  $10,000,  and  Mr.  Nelson  became 
vice  president.  In  addition  to  having  built  up  a  profitable  practice, 
'Mr.  Nelson  took  active  part  in  incorporating  the  town  of  Winslow 
and  served  as  town  attorney  from  1900  to  1905,  when  he  removed 
to  St.  Johns,  to  take  charge  of  The  Apache  County  Bank  &  Trust 
Co.,  which  he  and  Mr.  Burbage  organized  in  the  fall  of  1905,  and 
became  vice  president  and  cashier  of  the  new  bank.  In  1908  he  was 
elected  district  attorney  of  Apache  County  and  re-elected  as  the

first  attorney  of  that  county.  In  1909  Mr.  Nelson  and  Mr.  Bur- 
bage consolidated  the  Navajo  County  Bank  of  Winslow  and  The 
Apache  County  Bank  &  Trust  Co.,  of  St.  Johns,  under  the  name  of 
Navajo-Apache  Bank  &  Trust  Co.,  with  paid-up  capital  of  $100,000, 
with  head  bank  at  Winslow  and  branches  at  St.  Johns  and  Holbrook, 
and  he  became  vice  president  of  the  institution  in  charge  at  St.  Johns. 
He  is  one  of  the  reliable  and  substantial  business  men  of  the  section 
and  has  accumulated  property  in  Navajo  and  Apache  counties.  He 
organized  the  Elks  lodge  at  Winslow  in  1900,  and  was  its  secretary 
the  first  four  years,  afterward  being  elected  Exalted  Ruler.  His  in- 
terest in  good  roads  has  made  him  one  of  the  leaders  in  this  work,  and 
it  was  due  partly  to  his  efforts  that  plans  have  been  made  to  bond

Apache  county  for  road  building.  Fred  Nelson  is  known  as  a  prime 
mover  in  the  interest  of  improved  conditions  in  the  town,  city  or 
county,  and  an  earnest  worker  for  all  development  plans. 


R.  C.  KAUFMAN,  cashier  of  the  Navajo-Apache  Bank  &  Trust 
Company,  was  born  in  Leroy,  Illinois,  in  1880.  He  was  graduated 
from  the  high  school  of  Leroy,  and  then  took  the  general  course  in 
the  University  of  Illinois.  He  was  first  employed  at  telegraphy  and 
railroad  work,  and  has  been  associated  with  the  Navajo-Apache  Bank 
&  Trust  Company  since  1907.  His  first  position  was  as  bookkeeper, 
from  which  he  was  promoted  to  that  of  assistant  cashier.  Upon  the 
reorganization  of  the  bank  in  1909  Mr.  Kaufman  was  chosen  its  secre- 
tary, and  one  year  later  was  made  cashier,  a  position  requiring  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  financial  matters  and  banking  regulations,  as 
the  Navajo-Apache  Bank  is  one  of  the  largest  in  the  state  and  the 
Largest  in  Northern  Arizona.  Mr.  Kaufman  married  Miss  Mary 
Lynn  Duggar.  They  have  one  little  daughter,  Jacqueline,  and  make 
their  home  in  Winslow. 


LLOYD  C.  HENNING,  manager  of  the  Navajo-Apache  Bank  &  Trust 
Company's  branch  at  Holbrook,  has  been  in  Arizona  more  than  a  quar- 
ter of  a  century,  his  parents,  who  are  now  residents  of  Pinto,  having 
been  among  the  pioneers  of  that  section.  Mr.  Henning  became  first 
prominently  known  in  Arizona  for  the  part  he  took  in  building  up  a 
number  of  the  strong  weekly  papers  in  Navajo  and  Apache  Counties 
and  in  his  present  position  has  hosts  of  friends  throughout  the  northern 
part  of  the  state.  He  is  an  energetic  and  tireless  booster,  takes  great 
pride  in  the  growth  of  Holbrook,  and  during  his  term  as  Secretary- 
Treasurer  of  the  Holbrook  Commercial  Club,  the  growth  of  the  town 
received  considerable  impetus.  A  little  more  than  a  year  ago  he  was 
married  in  Ohio  to  Miss  Esther  Hess,  a  native  of  that  state,  and  in 
Holbrook,  where  they  have  since  made  their  home,  they  are  very  well 
known  socially.  Fraternally  also  Mr.  Henning  is  prominent  in  North- 
ern Arizona,  being  an  active  member  of  the  Masons  and  Elks. 


J.  E.  Cox,  cashier  of  the  Merchants  and  Stock  Growers  Bank  of 
Holbrook,  has  a  reputation  for  banking  which  preceded  him  to  Ari- 
zona, and  was,  in  fact,  the  incentive  which  caused  the  directors  of  the 
above  bank  to  offer  him  the  position  of  cashier.  The  record  made  by 
Mr.  Cox  while  associated  with  the  First  National  Bank  of  Albuquer- 
que, N.  M.,  was  known  outside  that  state,  and  when  the  prominent 
business  men  of  Holbrook  planned  the  forming  of  a  company  to  start 
a  bank  there,  the  only  man  considered  for  cashier,  when  it  should  be 
completed,  was  J.  E.  Cox.  The  record  which  the  Merchants  and 
Stock  Growers  Bank  has  made  under  Mr.  Cox's  direction  has  fully 
equalled  the  expectations  of  those  concerned  and  proven  that  the  con-

fidence  they  displayed  in  his  ability  was  well  deserved.  Mr.  Cox  is  a 
man  interested  in  matters  of  public  importance,  in  politics  a  Republi- 
can of  some  influence,  but  not  an  office  seeker.  He  is  a  prominent 
member  of  the  Elks  and  Masons.  He  was  born  in  Kellogg,  IowTa,  edu- 
cated there  and  at  Moline,  Illinois,  and  received  his  first  knowledge 
of  banking  in  The  Moline  National  Bank,  at  Moline,  111.  He  is  the 
son  of  C.  C.  and  Margaret  A.  Cox,  and  in  1905  was  married  to  Miss 
Minnie  Peterson.  They  have  three  children,  Margaret,  Louise  and 
Anne.  Mrs.  Cox  is  intimately  associated  with  church  and  charitable 
work  in  and  about  Holbrook. 


THE  SOUTHERN  ARIZONA  BANK  &  TRUST  COMPANY,  one  of 
Tucson's  solid  financial  institutions  doing  business  according  to  the 
most  modern  methods,  has  a  paid  in  capital  of  $75,000  and  resources 
amounting  to  more  than  one  million  dollars,  while  its  aggregate  de- 
posits are  close  to  the  million  mark.  This  company  was  organized  in 
May,  1903,  and  its  original  capitalization  was  but  $50,000.  Its  sur- 
plus and  undivided  profits  now  amount  to  more  than  $50,000.  This 
institution  is  one  of  the  largest  in  this  section  of  the  country  from 
the  point  of  view  of  deposits  and  resources,  and  its  policy  of  carrying 
50%  of  deposits  in  quick  cash  assets  ard  cash  reserves  makes  it  second 
to  none  in  the  state  in  the  matter  of  strength,  and  causes  the  institu-

tion  to  stand  exceedingly  high  in  the  confidence  of  the  public.  A  gen- 
eral banking  business  is  conducted,  both  check  and  savings  accounts 
being  received  and  on  the  latter  four  per  cent  interest  per  annum  is 
allowed.  They  also  issue  letters  of  credit  and  travelers'  checks,  pay- 
able practically  everywhere  in  the  world. 

The  trust  department  of  the  Southern  Arizona  Bank  &  Trust  Com- 
pany is  one  of  the  most  complete  known  in  Arizona,  and  they  are 
competent  to  act  as  trustee  or  administrator,  and  to  take  charge  of 
estates.  They  also  conduct  a  real  estate  and  insurance  department 
under  thoroughly  qualified  men,  and  they  loan  money  on  city  prop- 
erty. This  bank  also  extends  accommodations  to  its  clients  in  Tucson 
and  vicinity  whenever  consistent  with  sound  banking  principles,  as  the 
entire  business  of  the  institution  is  conducted  along  the  lines  of  wise 
and  conservative,  though  liberal,  methods. 

The  officers  of  the  Southern  Arizona  Bank  &  Trust  Company  are 
as  follows:  N.  E.  Plumer,  president;  Fred  J.  Steward,  vice  president; 
G.  H.  Sawyer,  secretary.  These  three  officers  together  with  J.  Ivan- 
covich  and  R.  Power,  compose  the  board  of  directors. 


N.  E.  PLUMER,  president  of  the  Southern  Arizona  Bank  &  Trust 
Company,  is  the  son  of  Nathaniel  B.  and  Martha  Sanborn  Plumer, 
and  was  born  in  Detroit.  Mich.,  February  28,  1866.  Mr.  Plumer's 
parents  were  both  natives  of  New  England,  and  when  he  was  a  small 
child,  they  returned  to  their  Boston  home,  and  there  he  was  reared  and 
educated  in  the  public  schools,  and  there  he  made  his  home  until  he 
engaged  in  business  for  himself.  Mr.  Plumer's  first  employment  was 
with  the  George  H.  Hammond  Packing  Co.,  whose  representative  he 
was  for  several  years,  when  he  engaged  in  the  packing  business  on  his 
own  account.  He  was  subsequently  Eastern  representative  of  the 
Cudahy  Packing  Company,  and  as  such  he  practically  built  up  their 
eastern  business,  established  branch  houses,  and  bought  or  built  the 
company's  real  estate  throughout  the  east.  Coming  to  Arizona  sixteen 
years  ago,  Mr.  Plumer  first  engaged  in  real  estate  and  insurance  busi- 
ness for  three  years,  as  member  of  the  firm  of  Plumer  &  Steward,  of 
Tucson.  He  then  organized  The  Southern  Arizona  Bank  &  Trust 
Company,  was  elected  president  of  the  corporation,  and  has  since  held 
this  position.  During  the  comparatively  short  time  this  bank  has 
been  in  existence  it  has  advanced  from  the  smallest  bank  in  the  city  to 
second  place,  and  now  ranks  among  the  strongest  in  the  state,  which  is 
to  be  attributed  mainly  to  Mr.  Plumer's  guidance  of  its  affairs.  Mr. 
Plumer  is  a  descendant  of  early  time  New  England  families,  and  a 
distant  relative  of  Daniel  Webster.  Mrs.  Plumer,  also  a  native  of 
New  England,  was  formerly  Miss  Mabel  Roberts.  Though  so  prom- 
inently known  in  the  business  world,  Mr.  Plumer  has  never  had  any 
inclination  for  political  or  fraternal  associations.  He  is  a  member  of 
The  Old  Pueblo  Club.  Both  Mrs.  Plumer  and  he  are  members  of 
the  Corgregationalist  Church.  They  have  one  daughter,  five  years  old.

J.  J.  KELLY,  assistant  cashier  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Clifton, 
although  one  of  the  youngest,  is  one  of  the  best  known  bankers  in  the 
state,  and  no  doubt  enjoys  as  wide  an  acquaintance  among  the  finan- 
ciers of  the  Southwest  as  any  banker  in  Arizona.  He  began  his  busi- 
ness life  in  a  bank  and  has  grad- 
ually advanced  from  minor  posi- 
tions to  the  one  he  now  holds. 
His  training  has,  therefore,  been 
thorough,  and  he  has  mastered 
;ill  the  details  of  the  business. 
Mr.  Kelly  is  the  son  of  pioneer 
Arizonans,  Michael  and  Julia 
Sullivan  Kelly,  and  was  born  in 
the  historic  town  of  Tomb- 
stone on  January  26,  1887, 
when  this  was  the  metropolis 
of  the  Territory,  and  his  father 
v^  as  one  of  the  important  figures 
of  that  day.  Mr.  Kelly  is  one 
of  the  best  known  politicians  of 
Greenlee,  and  has  served  a  term 
as  United  States  Commissioner. 
He  was  recently  appointed  re- 
ceiver of  a  large  establishment 
in  Clifton,  and  the  manner  in 
which  he  disposed  of  the  prop- 
erty and  the  amount  made 
available  to  the  creditors,  as  a 
result,  elicited  much  commenda- 
tion. Mr.  Kelly  is  also  well 
known  in  the  social  and  fraternal  life  of  the  state  and  is  one  of  the 
youngest  men  who  ever  held  the  position  of  Exalted  Ruler  of  the  Elks. 
His  administration  in  that  capacity  was,  like  his  other  undertakings,  a 
complete  success.  During  that  time  the  order  was  placed  on  a  sound 
financial  basis,  and  the  membership  increased  in  a  most  gratifying  de- 
gree. Mr.  Kelly  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss  Grace  Grey,  also  a 
native  of  Arizona,  who  is  a  favorite  in  the  community.  They  have  a 
bright  and  interesting  little  son,  who  has  been  named  for  his  father.

The  Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust  Company 

THE  GILA  VALLEY  BANK  &  TRUST  COMPANY,  which,  in  addition 
to  its  principal  house  at  Globe,  has  branches  at  Ray,  Winkleman,  Mo- 
renci,  Clifton,  Hayden,  Safford  and  Miami,  has  proven  a  most  im- 
portant factor  in  the  business  growth  of  that  section  of  Arizona,  and 
done  much  in  aiding  to  success  hundreds  of  people  engaged  in  mining, 
agriculture,  and  cattle  raising  in  the  vicinity  of  its  houses.  The  ad- 
vantages possible  in  this  particular  have  been  considerably  increased  by 
the  fact  that  eight  banks  in  different  towns,  but  all  under  one  strong 
and  capable  management  cover  a  greater  area  with  much  more  expedi- 
ence than  would  be  possible  by  the  same  number  of  individual  banking 
companies,  even  though  the  aggregate  of  their  resources  were  greater 
than  those  of  the  Gila  Valley  Bank  Si  Trust  Company.  Under  this 
arrangement  the  people  of  the  smallest  of  these  towns  have  the  benefit 
of  dealing  with  a  large  institution,  in  reality,  for  they  appreciate  the 
fact  that  each  branch  is  as  strong  and  as  high  in  its  financial  responsi- 
bility as  the  entire  system  behind  it.  They  realize  also  that  should  any 
of  the  ordinary  financial  difficulties  be  met  with  in  their  immediate 
locality,  the  local  bank  need  not  necessarily  be  put  to  any  exceptional 
test  as  would  otherwise  doubtless  be  the  case,  to  meet  the  demands  of 
depositors  needlessly  alarmed,  but  having  the  strength  of  the  entire 
Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust  Company  to  rely  upon,  the  situation  would 
never  assume  serious  proportions. 

The  Gila  Bank  &  Trust  Company  was  organized  in  1900  with  a 
capitalization  of  $100,000,  all  of  which  is  paid  in.  They  have  a  sur- 
plus of  $60,000,  and  deposits  amounting  to  almost  $2,000,000.  In  all 
their  branches  they  transact  a  general  banking  business,  loan  money, 
buy  and  sell  exchange,  make  collections  and  receive  deposits,  both  for 
commercial  and  savings  accounts,  and  utilize  every  modern  system 
which  in  any  way  tends  to  benefit  financial  transactions. 

The  Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust  Company  has  in  its  employ  in  each 
of  its  houses  men  who  are  well  trained  in  banking,  and  familiar  with 
every  detail  of  the  requirements  of  their  position.  This  is  notably  true 
of  the  manage,r?,  many  of  whom  have  received  their  bank  training  in 
the  very  best  possible  way,  in  large  eastern  houses,  either  national 
banks  or  private  banking  firms,  where  emergencies  must  be  met  and 
questions  coped  with  that  broaden  a  man's  horizon  in  this  calling  and 
develop  in  him  the  power  to  quickly  respond  to  the  unusual  demands 
of  the  day  and  to  rise  to  the  occasion  and  satisfactorily  dispose  of 
matters  of  a  special  nature  requiring  his  attention. 

The  officers  of  the  company  are  as  follows:  President  C.  E.  Mills; 
Vice  Presidents,  L.  D.  Ricketts  and  T.  A.  Pascoe;  Cashier,  Harry  S. 
Van  Gorder ;  General  Manager,  R.  E.  Moore,  all  of  whom  are 
prominently  known  in  the  business  enterprises  of  the  state.

HARRY  S.  VAN  GORDER,  cashier  of  the  Gila  Valley  Bank  and 
Trust  Company  and  general  manager  of  the  department  store  of  the 
Detroit  Copper  Mining  Company  of  Arizona,  at  Morenci,  was  born 
in  Philadelphia  in  1858,  but  at  an  early  age  removed  to  Warren,  O., 
where  his  boyhood  was  spent.  He  was  educated  at  the  Allegheny 
College,  Meadville,  Penn.,  and  the  Pennsylvania  Military  College,

Chester,  Penn.,  and  graduated  from  the  latter  in  1879.  Having  held 
several  positions  about  his  early  home,  he  went  to  Golden,  Colo.,  in 
1886,  and  there  engaged  in  business  about  three  years.  He  next 
opened  a  store  in  Orient,  Colo.,  where  he  remained  until  1891,  when 
he  came  to  Arizona  to  accept  his  present  position.  The  present  home 
of  the  store  was  built  since  Mr.  Van  Gorder's  coming,  and  every  de- 
tail of  the  same  was  planned  by  him,  and  it  was  he  who  directed  the 
work  of  the  architect  and  builder,  and  the  result  is  a  store  that  has

few  equals  in  the  West.  Mr.  Van  Gorder  has  not  only  done  much 
in  the  interests  of  the  business  of  which  he  is  general  Manager,  but 
has  aided  materially  in  the  progiess  of  the  town,  and  is  regarded 
by  all  who  know  him  as  a  man  of  sound  judgment  and  commercial 
integrity. 


R.   E.   Moore 


R.  E.  MOORE,  general  manager  of  the  entire  system  of  the  Gila  Val- 
ley Bank  Si  Trust  Company,  is  a  banker  trained  in  the  school  whose 
graduates  become  a  success.  He  was  born  on  a  farm  in  Kansas  in 
1872,  and  was  educated  in  the  common  schools  of  the  country  where 
Eureka,  Kansas,  now  stands.  At  an  early  age  he  showed  the  indis- 
pensable characteristic  of  the  successful  beginner,  frugality,  and  with 
the  assistance  of  his  parents  was  able  to  take  a  course  in  the  Southern 
Kansas  Academy  at  Eureka,  where  he  spent  three  years.  He  then 
went  to  Kansas  City,  where  he  was  graduated  from  a  business  college 
with  such  a  record  that  he  was  immediately  given  a  position  with  a 
prominent  financial  institution  as  private  secretary  to  the  president, 
and  utilizing  his  spare  time  at  bookkeeping,  got  an  insight  into  the 


258  WHO'S     WHO 

general  workings  of  a  large  firm.  Later  he  went  to  El  Paso,  where 
he  accepted  a  position  with  the  First  National  Bank,  and  acquired 
valuable  experience  as  well  as  a  knowledge  of  Arizona.  He  soon 
realized  the  possibilities  in  this  great  territory,  but  feeling  that  he  re- 
quired a  little  more  experience,  accepted  a  position  as  chief  clerk  with 
the  American  Smelting  &  Refining  Company  at  Monterey,  Mexico. 
Here  he  spent  three  years,  and  established  a  record  for  a  knowledge  of 
banking,  mining,  and  other  industries,  a  reputation  which  traveled  to 
Morenci,  where  men  of  his  calibre  were  constantly  being  sought.  He 
was  taken  there,  assayed  highly,  and  when  a  responsible  position  was 
available  in  Globe,  was  placed  in  it.  He  was  manager  of  the  Globe 
Bank  of  this  company  for  several  years  and  has  recently  been  made 
general  manager.  Mr.  Moore  is  not  only  a  leader  in  banking  affairs, 
but  has  a  good  knowledge  of  all  phases  of  mining  and  is  of  great  as- 
sistance in  the  different  transactions  to  which  his  clients  are  a  party. 
His  duties  require  his  making  regular  trips  to  all  the  branches  of  the 
Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust  Company,  keeping  in  close  touch  with  the 
condition  of  all  of  them,  and  giving  the  men  in  charge  the  benefit  of 
his  knowledge  and  experience.  He  was  married  in  1904  to  Miss 
Louise  Wilcox,  daughter  of  Judge  Wilcox,  prominently  known  in 
El  Paso  and  vicinity.  Two  boys  have  been  born  to  them,  Eastmer 
and  Albert.  Mrs.  Moore  is  well  known  in  social  life  and  one  of 
Globe's  most  charming  women. 


JOHN  D.  WICK,  JR.,  manager  of  The  Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust 
Company,  at  Globe,  Arizona,  was  born  in  Youngstowrn,  Ohio,  Sep- 
tember 13,  1876,  and  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona  for  more  than 
seven  years.  Before  coining  to  this  state  he  was  employed  in  the 
treasurer's  office  of  the  American  Sheet  and  Tin  Plate  Company,  as 
chief  clerk,  for  four  years.  This  is  a  subsidiary  company  of  the 
United  States  Steel  Corporation,  with  headquarters  in  New  York 
City,  where  Mr.  Wick  was  in  their  employ.  His  first  position  in 
Arizona  was  with  The  Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust  Company  in  a 
minor  capacity,  from  which  he  has  been  advanced  to  that  of  manager 
of  the  Globe  Branch.  Being  thoroughly  experienced  in  banking  and 
financial  matters  in  general,  Mr.  Wick  has  done  much  to  increase  the 
number  of  the  bank's  friends  in  his  locality.  He  is  an  active  member 
of  the  Masonic  order.  

W.  P.  LATHROP,  manager  of  the  Safford  Branch  of  The  Gila  Val- 
ley^ Bank  &  Trust  Co.,  is  a  descendant  of  the  Lathrop  family,  which 
emigrated  from  England  to  Massachusetts  at  an  early  date  in  the  his- 
tory of  this  country.  His  father  was  Dr.  William  Perry  Lathrop, 
who^was  born  in  Greensburg,  Ind.,  and  died  at  Glenwood,  Iowa,  in 
1875.  The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  educated  in  the  public  schools 
of  Iowa,  afterward  receiving  a  thorough  business  course.  He  has  had 
a  splendid  business  experience,  and  for  the  past  eight  years  has  been

with  the  International  Banking  Corporation,  60  Wall  St.,  New 
York,  the  greater  part  of  the  time  as  manager  of  one  of  its  foreign 
branches.  Mr.  Lathrop  never  has  aspired  to  nor  occupied  any  public 
office,  but  is  treasurer  of  the  Graham  County  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
and  a  hard  worker  in  any  plan  to  promote  the  welfare  of  the  com- 
munity. In  politics  he  has  been  a  Republican,  but  affiliated  with  the 
Progressive  Party  in  the  campaign  of  1912,  and  as  State  Committee- 
man  was  prominently  identified  with  that  party  in  Southeast  Arizona. 


ED.  M.  BLAKE,  manager  of  the  branch  banks  of  the  Gila  Valley 
Bank  &  Tru^t  Company  at  Hayden,  Ray  and  Winkelman,  came  to 
Arizona  in  1876.  As  he  was  wearing  kilts  at  that  time,  he  is  practi- 
cally a  native  Arizonan.  He  is  the  son  of  Francis  W.  Blake,  one  of 
the  pioneer  bankers  of  Arizona,  nephew  of  Thomas  J.  Butler,  Terri- 
torial Treasurer  for  several  terms  during  the  late  eighties  and  early 
nineties,  and  of  J.  Frank  Meador,  Territorial  Auditor  under  Gover- 
nor Zulick.  Mr.  Blake  has  been  in  the  banking  business  most  of  the 
time  since  he  finished  school  in  Ohio.  He  was  manager  of  The  Bank 
of  Bisbee's  branch  at  Naco  for  eight  years,  and  was  later  elected

the  Consolidated  National  Bank  of  Tucson,  and  to  his  business  ca- 
pacity and  uniform  courtesy  much  of  the  bank's  continuous  growth 
may  be  attributed.  Its  deposits  now  amount  to  more  than  $850,000,

Burdett    Aden    Packard 


-66  WHO'S     WHO 

BURDETT  ADEN  PACKARD,  miner  and  cattleman,  is  one  of  the  most 
prominent  and  interesting  men  of  Arizona,  with  whose  history  he  has 
been  actively  associated  since  1880.  Mr.  Packard  was  born  in  Port- 
ville,  New  York,  November  1,  1847,  and  was  educated  principally 
under  private  tutors,  but  later  attended  Alfred  Academy,  New  \  ork. 
His  parents,  Ashley  G.  and  Virtue  V.  Crandall  Packard,  were  of 
English  descent.  Mr.  Packard's  business  life  began  at  the  age  of  six- 
teen, when  he  went  into  the  lumber  business  with  his  father;  at  eigh- 
teen he  became  associated  with  the  mercantile  business,  and  after  six 
years  of  service  in  this  capacity,  located  in  Bradford,  Penn.,  where  he 
operated  in  oil.  His  next  move  was  to  Arizona,  where  he  took  up 
mining  and  cattle  business,  and  located  at  Tombstone,  and  during  his 
residence  there  owned,  developed  and  sold  several  large  mines  at  re- 
munerative figures.  Since  1884  his  interests  have  been  largely  in  the 
cattle  business,  and  he  was  formerly  associated  with  William  C. 
Greene  in  the  ownership  of  the  Turkey  Track  Cattle  Company,  oper- 
ating in  Sonora,  Mexico,  and  Arizona,  whose  holdings  comprise  about 
700,000  acres  of  land  and  40,000  head  of  cattle.  Politically,  Mr. 
Packard  has  been  actively  interested  in  the  affairs  of  the  Democratic 
party,  but  the  demands  of  business  have  prevented  his  devoting  but 
little  time  to  official  life.  He  has,  however,  represented  the  County  of 
Cochise  in  the  Council  during  the  18th  and  19th  sessions  of  the  Legis- 
lature. In  the  former  he  gained  much  distinction  as  author  of  the  re- 
districting  bills  and  other  measures  that  have  proven  of  great  benefit 
to  the  state.  In  the  latter  he  was  member  of  the  Committees  on  Mines 
and  Mining;  Ways  and  Means;  Enrolled  and  Engrossed  Bills; 
Claims,  and  Territorial  Affairs,  and  was  a  strong  influence  in  the 
Council.  He  is  president  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Douglas,  to 
which  position  he  was  chosen  in  1907.  He  is  a  prominently  known 
Mason  of  the  32nd  degree  and  member  of  the  Mystic  Shrine.  Mr. 
Packard  has  been  twice  married.  His  first  wife,  formerly  Miss  Ella 
Lewis,  of  New  York,  to  whom  he  was  married  in  1879,  died  in  1891, 
leaving  three  children.  In  May,  1903,  Mr.  Packard  was  again  mar- 
ried to  Mrs.  Carlota  W.  Holbrook,  of  Tucson. 


E.  W.  GRAVES,  Cashier  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Douglas, 
has  had  many  years'  experience  in  banking,  most  of  which  has  been 
with  banks  in  Southern  Arizona.  Mr.  Graves  was  born  in  Dubuque, 
Iowa,  in  1869,  and  gained  his  first  experience  in  the  financial  world 
with  the  First  National  Bank,  Colorado  Springs.  When  quite  a 
young  man  he  came  to  Arizona,  and  for  twenty  years  was  employed 
in  the  Consolidated  National  Bank,  Tucson,  where  he  served  suc- 
cessively as  messenger,  general  clerk  and  assistant  cashier,  and  removed 
to  Douglas  to  become  cashier  of  the  First  National  Bank,  and  much 
of  the  success  of  this  bank  may  be  attributed  to  his  indefatigable  zeal, 
careful  business  methods,  and  uniform  courtesy  to  its  patrons.  He  is 


[  N      ARIZONA

also  a  member  of  its  Board  of  Directors.  In  1902  Mr.  Graves 
was  married  in  El  Paso  to  Miss  Sadie  Etchells,  of  Tucson.  He  has 
one  child,  Petra.  Mr.  Graves  is  a  well  known  member  of  the 
Douglas  Lodge  of  Elks.

Since  the  exceptional  success  of  this  department  became  recognized  the 
other  banks  in  Bisbee  have  installed  Savings  Departments  along  the 
same  lines,  and  now  the  combined  savings  accounts  in  the  district  ag-

Arizona  National  Bank 

THE  ARIZONA  NATIONAL  BANK,  which  was  original Iv  known  as 
the  Santa  Cruz  Valley  Bank,  has  from  the  beginning  of  its 
career,  several  decades  ago,  enjoyed  the  confidence  of  the  people  of 
Tucson  and  vicinity.  The  story  of  this  bank  is  well  known  in  the 
community,  and  its  constant  and  rapid  growth,  and  the  steady  in- 
crease in  its  patronage  and  the  volume  of  its  business  are  indisputable 
tokens  of  its  safety  and  prosperity.  Its  officers  are,  above  all,  conser- 
vative, and  its  patrons  receive  at  their  hands  the  most  courteous  treat- 
ment, while  accommodations  consistent  with  good  business  are  accord- 
ed all  clients.  The  Arizona  National  Bank  is  eminently  noted  for  its 
solidity  and  conservatism  and  is  known  as  the  Arizona  "Bank  of  Eng- 
land"." It  was  founded  in  1889  by  L.  M.  and  B.  M.  Jacobs  and  M. 
P.  Freeman,  and  then  known  as  The  Santa  Cruz  Valley  Bank.  After 
some  years  it  was  reorganized,  became  a  national  bank,  and  assumed 
its  present  name.  None  of  the  organizers  of  The  Santa  Cruz  Valley 
Bank  are  now  connected  with  the  management,  as  Mr.  Freeman  with- 
drew many  years  ago  and  the  Messrs.  Jacobs  recently  disposed  of  their 
control  to  the  present  management.  At  a  meeting  held  in  January, 
1913,  it  was  decided  to  increase  the  capital  stock  of  the  bank  to  $100,- 
000.  Its  last  statement  shows  the  resources  to  be  nearly  $700,000,

and  its  aggregate  deposits  $500,000.  The  gain  in  the  volume  of 
business  since  its  reorganization  in  January  last  has  amounted  to  more 
than  fifty  per  cent.  The  Arizona  National  Bank  conducts  a  general 
banking  business  in  all  its  branches,  and  none  in  this  section  is  better 
prepared  for  making  collections,  issuing  exchange,  or  expediting  any  of 
the  details  of  actual  banking,  but  being  a  national  bank,  it  does  not  deal 
in  real  estate  or  accept  real  estate  as  collateral.  At  the  last  annual  meet- 
ing Charles  F.  Solomon,  well  known  in  the  banking  and  commercial 
life  of  Graham  County,  and  one  of  the  most  conservative  business 
men  in  Arizona,  was  elected  President,  and  Ph.  Freudenthal  of  Solo- 
monville,*  Arizona,  banker,  and  Mose  Drachman,  one  of  Tucson's 
leading  real  estate  dealers,  Vice  Presidents.  The  other  officials  are  F. 
H.  Thorpe,  cashier;  J.  H.  McClear  and  Anthony  Coenen,  assistant 
cashiers.  The  new  directorate,  besides  including  the  president,  vice 
presidents  and  cashier,  represents  many  of  the  large  and  important 
interests  in  this  and  other  states,  the  remaining  members  of  the  board 
being:  D.  W.  Wickersham,  president  of  the  Bank  of  Safford  and  of 
several  other  corporations;  I.  E.  Solomon,  a  pioneer  resident  of  Ari- 
zona, president  of  the  Solomon  Commercial  Company  and  vice  presi- 
dent of  The  Bank  of  Safford ;  E.  W.  Clayton,  cashier  of  the  latter 
bank;  Dr.  H.  W.  Fenner,  a  prominent  physician  and  surgeon  and 
well  known  financier;  Geo.  Pusch,  pioneer  and  large  cattleman;  Fred 
Fleishman,  pioneer  and  druggist;  Fred  Ronstadt,  manufacturer 
and  merchant ;  Judge  J.  H.  Campbell,  ex-Supreme  Justice  of 
Arizona;  B.  M.  Jacobs,  pioneer  and  banker.  These  are  all  men  fa- 
miliar with  the  requirements  of  a  strong,  healthy  bank,  and  thorough- 
ly cognizant  of  the  value  of  a  constant  sane  and  liberal  policy,  and  a 
continuation  of  the  careful  and  efficient  management  heretofore  ac- 
corded its  patrons  is  assured  them. 


CHARLES  F.  SOLOMON,  President  of  the  Arizona  National  Bank, 
one  of  the  oldest  and  most  reliable  banks  within  the  State,  is  also 
Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  Solomon  Commercial  Company, 
Solomonville,  and  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  Solomon-Wicker- 
sham  Co.,  Safford.  Mr.  Solomon  was  born  in  Towanda,  Pa.,  March 
7,  1873,  but  has  been  practically  reared  in  Arizona,  the  family  having 
removed  here  when  he  was  a  small  boy.  His  father,  Isidor  Elkan 
Solomon,  was  one  of  the  pioneer  merchants  in  the  early  days  of 
Solomonville,  before  the  advent  of  the  railroad  in  that  section,  is 
one  of  the  substantial  citizens  of  the  county,  and  aided  materially  in 
the  upbuilding  of  that  portion  of  the  State.  Charles  F.  Solomon 
has  been  prominent  in  the  commercial  and  banking  life  of  the  State 
for  many  years,  and  was  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Solomon  Com- 
mercial Company,  and  the  Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust  Co.  His 
entire  time  wTas  devoted  to  his  banking  and  commercial  interests  in

of  the  Arizona  National  Bank,  and  he  has  since  been  actively  interested 
in  this  institution,  and  has  removed  his  home  from  Solomonv.ille  to 
Tucson.  In  every  phase  of  his  career  Mr.  Solomon  has  been  re- 
garded as  a  man  of  the  most  substantial  characteristics  and  the  highest 
integrity,  and  the  notable  increase  in  the  volume  of  the  bank's  business 
since  its  reorganization  may  be  attributed  largely  to  his  personality 
and  influence.  In  the  fraternal  life  of  the  State  he  is  well  known, 
being  a  Mason  of  the  32nd  degree,  a  member  of  the  Knights  of 
Pythias  and  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.  He  was  married  in  1895  to  Miss

Willcox  Bank  and  Trust  Co. 

THE  WILLCOX  BANK  &  TRUST  COMPANY  has  for  several  years 
filled  the  long  felt  need  of  a  chartered  bank  for  the  vicinity  of  Will- 
cox,  and  was  organized  by  men  well  known  and  highly  esteemed  a? 
financiers  in  that  section.  It  opened  its  doors  for  business  January 
18,  1909,  and  having  men  of  high  standing  and  breadth  of  business 
experience  at  its  head,  is  well  organized  for  the  work  entrusted  to 
it,  and  it  is  a  matter  of  pride  and  satisfaction  to  the  community  to 
have  so  able  a  financial  institution  in  its  midst.  The  building  itself 
makes  a  most  pleasing  impression,  being  up  to  date  in  appointment. 
Its  construction  was  a  matter  of  careful  consideration,  the  space 
being  utilized  in  the  most  artistic  manner  consistent  with  conveni- 
ence and  safety.  The  vault  is  an  ingenious  piece  of  workmanship. 
The  cement,  while  soft,  had  imbedded  in  it  scrap  iron  and  steel  bars, 
which  produced  a  burglar  proof  wall  twenty  inches  thick,  the  only 
opening  in  which  is  protected  by  massive  double  steel  doors  manufac- 
tured by  a  well  known  safe  company  of  Ohio.  The  vault  contains  a 
3200  pound  safe  closed  by  a  time  lock,  which  it  is  impossible  to  open 
until  the  time  for  which  it  has  been  set  has  expired.  In  fact,  every

for  business  integrity  during  a  residence  of  almost  thirty  years  in  the 
section.  He  is  also  president  and  general  manager  of  the  Norton- 
Morgan  Commercial  Company,  one  of  the  most  prosperous  establish- 
ments in  the  state.  Thos.  Allaire,  vice  president,  came  here  from 
New  York  almost  thirty  years  ago,  and  has  since  been  associated  with 
the  best  interests  of  the  community  in  many  lines.  The  board  of  di- 
rectors is  composed  of  the  above  named  officials  and  C.  M.  Roberts, 
Senator  from  Cochise  County  and  well  known  mining  and  business 
man;  William  M.  Riggs,  member  of  the  Cochise  County  Board  of 
Supervisors,  and  A.  Y.  Smith,  mining  man,  who  formerly  owned 
the  controlling  interest  in  the  Commonwealth  Mine  at  Pearce. 


HENRY  A.  MORGAN,  President  of  the  Willcox  Bank  &  Trust  Com- 
pany, and  President  and  General  Manager  of  the  Norton-Morgan 
Commercial  Company,  has  spent  the  greater  part  of  his  life  in  the  far 
West.  In  fact,  he  is  a  typical  Southwesterner,  was  born  in  Colum- 
bia, Tuolumne  County,  California,  in  1861.  His  parents,  George 
and  Margaret  Morgan,  were  natives  respectively  of  England  and 
Ireland,  and  were  among  the  very  early  settlers  and  appreciators  of 
California.  Their  son  received  all  the  advantages  within  their  power 
to  confer  in  Columbia,  and  at  eighteen  years  of  age  was  sent  to  a 
business  college  in  San  Francisco.  His  first  practical  business  experi- 
ence was  gained  in  1880,  when  he  secured  a  position  as  bookkeeper  for 
the  firm  of  Norton  &  Stewart,  at  Fort  Grant,  Arizona,  and  in  this 
capacity  he  served  until  1890.  Shortly  before  that  time  the  retire- 
ment of  Mr.  Stewart  disclosed  an  opportunity  for  Mr.  Morgan  to 
secure  an  advanced  position,  and  he  was  made  General  Manager  of  all 
the  stores  of  the  company.  For  some  time  previously  he  had  resided 
at  Willcox,  and  continued  to  do  so  under  the  weight  of  the  added 
responsibility.  During  the  years  intervening  since  1890,  there  have 
been  stores  started  in  the  vicinity.  Among  these  are  stores  at  Cochise. 
Bonita  and  Klondyke,  Arizona.  In  1903  the  Norton-Morgan  Com- 
mercial Company  took  over  the  business  of  John  H.  Norton  Si  Co., 
and  from  that  time  it  has  covered  a  broader  field  and  increased  the 
scope  of  the  undertaking  in  every  way.  This  firm  has  now  estab- 
lished a  name  for  itself  and  is  counted  among  the  leading  mercantile 
houses  of  Southern  Arizona.  Mr.  Morgan  was  the  leading  spirit  in 
the  organization  of  the  Willcox  Bank  &  Trust  Company,  and  like  all 
other  enterprises  in  which  he  is  a  factor  it  has  met  with  exceptional 
success  in  its  short  career.  The  bank  opened  in  1909  with  H.  A. 
Morgan  as  President.  Mr.  Morgan  was  a  member  of  the  Willcox 
School  Board  for  twelve  years,  and  served  as  Clerk  of  the  Board 
which  erected  the  Grammar  and  the  High  Schools,  at  a  cost  of  about 
$10,000  cash,  complete,  including  furniture.  He  is  a  staunch  mem- 
ber of  the  Republican  party,  and  in  1881  attended  the  first  Republican 
convention  held  in  Graham  Copunty.  He  is  a  prominent  member  of

the  Masonic  Order,  and  was  Grand  Master  of  the  Masons  in  Arizona 
in  1911.  He  also  served  as  Grand  Patron  of  the  Eastern  Star  in 
1908,  and  is  now  an  officer  of  El  Zaribah  Temple,  Mystic  Shrine.  In 
addition  to  his  extensive  mercantile  and  mining  activities,  he  has  large 
interests  in  real  estate  in  Willcox  as  well  as  Tucson  and  Los  Angeles. 
Mr.  Morgan  was  a  promoter  and  first  President  of  the  Southern  Ari- 
zona Agricultural  Fair  Association,  in  which  he  has  taken  a  very 
active  part.  He  is  also  a  member  and  leading  spirit  in  the  Willcox 
Board  of  Trade,  and  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  from 
Arizona  of  the  International  Dry  Farm  Congress,  whose  next  session 
will  be  held  at  Tulsa,  Okla.,  next  fall.  In  1886  Mr.  Morgan  married 
Miss  Anna  Belle  Dixon,  daughter  of  J.  E.  Dixon,  of  Tucson,  Ari- 
zona. Mr.  and  Mrs.  Morgan  have  four  children,  viz.:  George  P., 
Ethel  R.,  Florence  and  Helen. 


HORACE  E.  DUNLAP,  cashier  of  the  Willcox  Bank  &  Trust  Com- 
pany, was  born  in  Trumbull  County,  Ohio,  in  1855.  He  wras  edu- 
cated for  a  college  professor,  being  graduated  from  Thiel  College, 
Greenville,  Pa.,  in  1877.  He  served  as  Latin  tutor  two  years  in  the 
same  institution,  taking  at  the  same  time  special  studies  preparatory 
to  a  post  graduate  course  in  an  eastern  university,  but  a  general 
breakdown  in  health  sent  him  to  Arizona  in  1882  to  recuperate. 
Seven  years  of  easy  "Roughing  It"  on  the  cattle  ranch  of  his  brother, 
Burt  Dunlap,  in  Graham  County,  restored  his  health  in  a  measure, 
and,  anticipating  the  coming  business  opportunities  to  be  found  in 
Arizona,  he  returned  east  and  served  an  apprenticeship  in  Wick  Bros. 
&  Company's  bank,  in  Youngstown,  Ohio.  The  lure  of  the  Arizona 
climate  drew  him  back  to  a  period  in  cattle  ranching.  From  1892  to 
1900  he  resided  in  Willcox,  serving  four  years  as  accountant  in  the 
large  stores,  which  did  as  much  banking  as  the  average  country  bank, 
and  an  equal  period  as  publisher  of  the  "Arizona  Range  News,"  a 
local  livestock  paper.  From  1900  to  1903  he  was  in  the  employ  of 
The  Bank  of  Safford,  going  thence  to  Yuma  to  become  cashier  of  the 
bank  of  J.  W.  Thornton  &  Son,  which,  during  his  incumbency  in 
that  office,  was  nationalized,  becoming  the  First  National  Bank  of 
Yuma.  In  1905  he  returned  to  Graham  County  to  become  cashier 
of  the  Bank  of  Safford,  with  which  institution  he  remained  three 
years,  when  the  organizers  of  the  new  bank  in  Willcox,  the  Willcox 
Bank  &  Trust  Company,  sought  and  secured  him  for  the  position  of 
cashier.  Having  previously  held  a  responsible  position  with  the 
Norton-Morgan  Commercial  Company  of  Willcox  and,  during  his 
former  residence  there,  gained  a  wide  acquaintance  with  the  stock- 
men and  mining  men  of  the  entire  district,  he  was,  with  his  long  ex- 
perience in  bank  work,  the  logical  man  for  the  place,  and  the  rapid 
growth  of  the  institution  under  his  management  has  amply  justified

the  choice.  Mr.  Dunlap,  in  addition  to  being  a  stockholder  and  di- 
rector of  the  bank,  is  interested  in  various  enterprises  throughout  the 
state  and  owner  of  real  estate  in  California  and  in  the  Salt  River 
Valley.  In  1893,  during  his  previous  residence  in  Willcox,  he  mar- 
ried Mrs.  May  A.  Smith,  who,  like  himself,  has  been  active  in

church  wyork  and  in  the  various  lines  of  endeavor  for  the  uplift  of 
society.  Gladys,  their  only  daughter,  has  just  been  graduated  from 
the  Polytechnic  High  School,  Los  Angeles,  and  they  have  one  son, 
Howard,  aged  11.  Mr.  Dunlap  is  a  member  of  the  Willcox  lodge  of 
Masons,  and  was  a  Republican  all  his  life  until  the  last  campaign, 
when  he  affiliated  with  the  Progressives.  He  has  never  sought 
political  office.

C.  M.  ROBERTS,  Senator  from  Cochise  County,  and  one  of  Co- 
chise's  representaives  in  the  Constitutional  Convention,  is  a  progressive 
Democrat  who  received  his  education  largely  in  the  school  of  experi- 
ence. His  first  political  fight  was  at  the  primary  election  for  the 
Constitutional  Convention,  and  although  it  was  known  that  he  had 
been  a  considerable  power  in  the  State,  there  was  some  doubt  in  the 
minds  of  the  unknowing  regarding  the  result  of  the  election,  but  wrhen 
a  count  was  made  it  was  found  that  more  votes  had  been  cast  for  Mr. 
Roberts  than  for  his  opponents  combined,  and  his  friends  understood. 
Being  a  former  miner  as  well  as  ranch  and  cattle  man,  he  had  scores 
of  friends  who  worked  for  him  quietly  at  all  times,  and  a  remarkable 
fact  was  that  every  man  in  his  employ,  or  who  had  ever  been  in  his 
employ,  was  looking  after  his  interests,  and  the  result  of  their  com- 
bined efforts  showed  the  esteem  in  which  he  is  held.  Mr.  Roberts  wras 
born  in  Erath  County,  Texas,  and  is  the  son  of  a  farmer.  He  drifted 
to  the  frontier  and  was  engaged  in  different  pursuits  through  the  West, 
mainly  mining  and  cattle  raising,  before  locating  in  Arizona.  He 
located  the  Cleopatra  mine  in  Colorado,  and  sold  it  at  a  great  profit, 
bought  and  sold  other  valuable  mines,  and  has  known  what  it  is  to  be 
broke,  since  he  made  his  first  stake.  After  varied  success  in  other 
States  he  came  here  and  bought  what  is  now  the  property  of  the 
Mascot  Mining  Company,  which  he  sold,  and  then  drifted  into  the 
cattle,  mining  and  banking  business.  At  present  he  and  several  other 
ranchmen  own  the  Willcox  Bank,  in  which  are  employed  only  the 
most  capable,  and  this  bank  has  been  a  success  since  its  organization, 
as  well  as  a  benefit  to  the  town  of  Willcox.  In  his  various  enter- 
prises Mr.  Roberts  has  employed  a  great  number  of  men,  and  there 
is  no  man  ever  worked  for  him  but  will  say  a  kindly  word  of  the 
Senator  from  Cochise.  Mr.  Roberts  is  a  fighter,  it  necessary  for 
the  sake  of  principle,  as  his  colleagues  in  the  Senate  realize.  Phys- 
ically and  mentally  he  is  a  man  of  the  style  best  typified  by  Abraham 
Lincoln,  being,  like  him,  tall  and  rather  spare,  deliberate  in  the  ex- 
treme, yet  having  a  keenly  penetrating  mind  that  grasps  the  salient 
points  in  an  argument  and  immediately  analyzes  them  most  minutely 
—a  mind  that  is,  in  fact,  a  camera  of  the  snapshot  order,  in  which 
impressions  are  so  vividly  portrayed  as  to  enable  him  to  make  the  best 
of  any  possible  situation  and  elicit  from  an  adversary  in  debate  the 
telling  points  of  the  subject  under  discussion,  but  with  nothing  what- 
ever of  craft  in  his  methods,  for  Senator  Roberts  is  above  all  straight- 
fonvard  and  direct.  His  ranch  home  at  Dos  Cabezas,  near  Willcox, 
is  one  of  the  finest  in  the  State,  and  he  is  very  proud  of  the  woman 
who  reigns  there.  Mrs.  Roberts  was  Miss  Madge  Whitaker,  and 
they  were  married  in  1897.  His  only  daughter,  Helen,  is  a  student 
at  the  University  of  Arizona,  Tucson,  and  is  a  girl  of  exceptional 
ability.  Though  in  her  early  teens  she  has  written  poems  that  show 
unmistakable  evidence  of  gift  in  this  direction.  He  also  has  one 
son,  less  than  two  vears  old.  Senator  Roberts  is  Chairman  of  the

William  Riggs 


W.  M.  RIGGS,  Supervisor  of  Cochise  County,  and  director  of  the 
Willcox  Bank  &  Trust  Company,  is  one  of  Arizona's  many  large 
cattle  men,  being  president  and  also  a  heavy  stockholders  of  the 
Riggs  Cattle  Company,  one  of  the  largest  outfits  in  the  state.  Mr. 
Riggs  was  born  in  Milam  County,  Texas.  Having  had  but  limited 
opportunity  in  early  life  to  acquire  an  education,  atter  the  age  of 
thirty,  he  took  a  three  years'  course  in  the  Valparaiso,  Indiana,  Nor- 
mal School,  covering  the  expenses  of  his  course  by  money  earned 
mostly  as  a  cowboy.  His  father,  Bronneck  Riggs,  was  a  native  of 
Alabama,  his  mother,  Mary  Burleson  Riggs,  a  native  of  Tennessee. 
His  father  and  four  of  his  brothers  were  Confederate  veterans.  In 
addition  to  his  other  business,  Mr.  Riggs  also  represents  various  rail- 
road companies  in  the  matter  of  land  scrip,  and  probably  has  handled

scrip  representing  more  acres  than  any  other  man  in  Arizona.  He 
came  to  Tombstone,  driving  five  teams  of  oxen,  in  1879.  Cochise 
County  has  been  his  place  of  residence  since,  excepting  during  the 
time  spent  at  college.  Mr.  Riggs  soon  became  interested  in  affairs, 
political  and  general,  and  has  been  a  Democratic  worker  for  many 
years.  He  is  now  serving  his  second  term  as  Supervisor,  having  been 
a  member  of  the  Board,  1903-1907.  Other  than  this,  he  has  held  no 
political  office.  He  is  now  trustee  of  El  Dorado  School  District. 


LEWIS  W.  COGGINS  was  born  in  Lamoine,  Maine,  January  15, 
1869,  but  received  his  education  in  the  public  schools  of  Greeley,  Colo. 
In  January,  1892,  he  came  to  Phoenix  and  engaged  in  the  abstract 
business  with  Z.  O.  Brown  under  the  firm  name  of  Coggins  &  Brown. 
The  Phoenix  Title  &  Trust  Company,  with  a  capitalization  of 
$100,000,  is  really  an  evolution  of  this  firm,  which  did  an  abstract  of 
title  business  until  1897.  Then  they  consolidated  with  others,  and 
were  known  as  the  Phoenix  Title  Guaranty  &  Abstract  Company,  of 
which  Mr.  Coggins  acted  as  vice  president  until  1908,  when  he  be- 
came sole  owner.  On  February  1,  1910,  the  present  company  was 
formed,  Mr.  Coggins  retaining  an  interest  and  accepting  the  dual 
position  of  secretary  and  manager.  It  is  the  largest  and  best  equipped 
title  company  in  the  state  and  a  fitting  monument  to  Mr.  Coggins' 
untiring  zeal  and  business  ability.  During  the  years  that  this  institu- 
tion was  being  evolved  from  the  original  firm  of  Coggins  and  Brown, 
Mr.  Coggins  was  doing  equally  great  things  in  an  entirely  different 
line,  thereby  giving  a  patriotic  sheen  to  the  lustre  which  his  local  re- 
cord had  attained.  As  a  military  man  he  has  a  record  which  is  hard 
to  equal.  He  enlisted  in  Company  B,  First  Infantry,  N.  G.  A.,  on 
May  19,  1893,  and  in  November  of  the  same  year  became  sergeant; 
in  October,  1894,  he  was  commissioned  first  lieutenant;  in  April, 
1896,  captain,  and  in  April  of  the  succeeding  year  retired.  In  1898 
he  was  commissioned  major  and  inspector  of  rifle  practice;  in  1903, 
captain  and  adjutant  First  Infantry;  in  1905,  major  and  inspector  of 
rifle  practice;  in  1908  and  1909,  adjutant  general  with  rank  of  col- 
onel, and  again  on  February  16,  1912,  he  was  commissioned  by  Gov- 
ernor Hunt  adjutant  general  with  rank  of  colonel.  He  is  also  a 
member  and  one  of  the  four  organizers  of  the  Arizona  Society  Sons 
of  the  American  Revolution.  His  right  to  membership  in  this  organi- 
zation comes  from  his  great-great-grandfather,  Sergeant  Asa  Law- 
rence, who  was  an  officer  in  General  Cady's  Company,  llth  Conn. 
Regiment,  and  took  part  in  the  relief  of  Boston  and  Lexington. 
While  the  cares  of  business  and  affairs  of  the  nation  were  thus  mak- 
ing demands  upon  the  time  and  energy  of  Mr.  Coggins,  he  was  also 
engaged  in  political  affairs,  and  held  both  county  and  municipal  of- 
fice. He  was  elected  assessor  of  Maricopa  county,  November,  1898, 
and  at  the  expiration  of  the  term  declined  a  re-nomination.  In  1906 


IN      A  R  I  Z  O  X  A 


285 


he  was  elected  Mayor  of  Phoenix  on  the  Republican  ticket,  and  during 
his  term  gambling,  which  had  run  on  unchecked  from  the  city's  incep- 
tion, was  entirely  abolished.  He  was  re-elected  in  1907  and  during 
this  term  many  reforms  were  enacted.  The  city  acquired  the  present 
municipal  water  system,  which  had  been  in  litigation  for  several 
years;  the  cement  sidewalk  boom  received  its  start,  and  many  miles 
of  walk  were  built ;  the  floating  indebtedness  of  the  city  was  provided 
for,  and  for  the  first  time  in  years  the  business  affairs  of  the  city  were 


Lewis  W.  Coggins 


put  on  a  cash  basis  and  conducted  so  that  expenditures  were  propor- 
tionate to  revenues.  If  the  successful  management  of  three  such  di- 
verse and  exacting  occupations  as  noted  above  do  not  indicate  excep- 
tional ability  and  effort  on  the  part  of  Mr.  Coggins,  it  is  safe  to  assert 
that  the  City  of  Phoenix  can  not  boast  of  one  able  and  energetic 
worker  for  its  good.  In  January,  1896,  Mr.  Coggins  married  Miss 
Sarah  E.  Mason,  and  with  their  five  children,  Ruth  M.,  May  A., 
Ralph  L.,  Milton  D.,  and  Alice,  they  form  an  interesting  type  of 
an  Arizona  family.

The  First  National  Bank  of  Globe 

THE  FIRST  NATIONAL  BANK  OF  GLOBE  was  incorporated  as  a 
national  bank  in  1901,  and  has  since  enjoyed  unusual  prosperity.  This 
bank  has  always  been  carefully  managed  and  the  aim  of  the  manage- 
ment has  been  to  handle  the  various  lines  of  banking  in  the  best 
possible  manner.  They  transact  a  general  banking  business,  discount 
commercial  paper,  loan  money  on  approved  collateral,  issue  letters  of 
credit  and  exchange  on  all  foreign  countries,  and  are  prepared  to 
handle  either  large  or  small  accounts  in  a  manner  satisfactory  to  the 
depositor.  Four  per  cent  interest  is  paid  on  time  deposits.  They 
also  make  a  specialty  of  financing  the  staple  industries  of  that  section, 
cattle  and  mining.  The  men  in  charge  have  all  been  identified  with 
financial  institutions  in  different  parts  of  the  State.  The  officers  of  the 
company  are  P.  P.  Greer,  President ;  W.  D.  Fisk,  Vice  President ;  J. 
N.  Robinson,  Cashier;  J.  T.  Brown  and  G.  C.  Simmons,  Assistant 
Cashiers.  The  Directors  are  W.  D.  Fisk,  J.  D.  Coplen,  P.  P.  Greer, 
J.  N.  Robinson,  L.  E.  Wightman,  Harry  Sultan  and  A.  W.  Craw- 
ford. Its  capital  stock  is  $100,000,  surplus  and  undivided  profits 
about  $55,000,  and  deposits  about  $800,000.  The  Bank  of  Miami, 
another  of  the  thriving  banks  of  that  section,  is  largely  owned  by  the 
stockholders  of  The  First  National  Bank  of  Globe. 


P.  P.  GREER,  President  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Globe  and 
Vice  President  of  the  Bank  of  Miami,  was  born  in  Bosque  County, 
Texas,  January  13th,  1872.  His  parents,  Matthew  S.  and  Sophia 
E.  Lane  Greer,  were  pioneers  of  that  State.  His  father  was  a  mer- 
chant, and  Mr.  Greer  worked  in  his  store  for  several  years,  then 
branched  out  for  himself  and  engaged  in  mercantile  business  at 
Meridian,  Texas.  He  came  to  Arizona  to  take  a  position  at  Fort 
Thomas  as  forwarding  agent  and  bookkeeper  for  J.  N.  Porter,  and  in 
that  position  showed  such  aptitude  for  financial  affairs  that  Mr.  Porter 
sent  him  to  Hillsboro  to  get  an  insight  into  banking  and  to  develop  thi^ 
faculty,  in  order  that  he  might  become  Cashier  of  the  Bank  of  Safford, 
which  position  he  held  for  three  years  on  his  return  to  Arizona.  He 
then  went  to  Clifton  and  served  as  Cashier  of  the  First  National  Bank 
for  five  years.  He  wras  next  chosen  Vice  President  of  The  First 
National  Bank  of  Globe,  of  which  Mr.  Porter  was  President,  resigned 
his  position  in  Clifton  to  devote  his  attention  to  the  Globe  institution, 
and  on  Mr.  Porter's  resignation  he  was  elected  to  succeed  him. 
Mr.  Greer  is  a  member  of  the  State  and  National  Bankers' 
Associations,  in  which  he  has  held  numerous  offices;  is  a  Democrat, 
but  takes  no  active  part  in  politics.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Elks' 
Lodge,  and  has  held  the  office  of  Treasurer  and  Trustee  for  several 
terms.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  I.  O.  O.  F.,  and  has  held  all  the 
chairs  in  this  lodge.  He  was  married  in  Texas,  in  1906,  to  Miss 
Sue  Maxey,  a  native  of  the  "Lone  Star"  State.

National  Bank  of  Globe,  and  Director  of  the  Bank  of  Miami,  was 
born  at  Kimball,  Texas,  February  2,  1882.  His  father,  J.  C.  Rob- 
inson, is  a  merchant  and  cattleman  at  present  making  his  home  in 
Globe.  His  mother  was  Miss  Louise  Porter,  sister  of  J.  N.  Porter, 
a  financier  and  cattleman  well  known  throughout  the  Southwest. 
Mr.  Robinson  came  to  Arizona  at  the  age  of  eleven,  completed  the 
common  school  course,  spent  four  years  in  the  University  of  Arizona, 
and  was  graduated  from  a  business  college  in  Los  Angeles 
in  1901.  His  first  position  was  with  the  First  National 
Bank  of  Clifton,  where  he  was  soon  made  Assistant  Cashier, 
and  remained  three  years.  He  was  then  elected  Vice  President 
of  the  Bank  of  Safford.  In  1907  he  went  to  Globe  to  become 
Cashier  of  the  First  National  Bank,  wrhich  position  he  has  since  held.

James  N.  Robinson 


He  is  associated  with  J.  W.  Young  in  a  large  cattle  range  at  the 
foot  of  the  Final  Mountains.  Mr.  Robinson  has  always  taken  an 
active  part  in  the  meetings  of  the  Arizona  Bankers'  Associations,  and 
in  1903,  at  the  time  he  held  the  position  of  Assistant  Cashier  of  the 
First  National  Bank  of  Clifton,  was  one  of  the  youngest  bank  officials 
in  the  United  States.  Even  at  this  age  he  showed  much  ability  as  .1 
banker,  and  it  wras  largely  due  to  the  work  of  Mr.  Robinson  and  Mr. 
Greer,  now  President  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Globe,  that  the 
First  National  Bank  of  Clifton  developed  into  one  of  the  strongest  fi- 
nancial institutions  of  the  State.  Mr.  Robinson  is  a  member  of  the 
Masonic  Lodge  and  the  B.  P.  O.  Elks,  and  while  not  an  officer  at  the 
time  the  Elks'  home  was  built  in  Globe,  he  was  one  of  the  most  active 
members,  and  served  on  a  number  of  committees.  Mr.  Robinson  was 
married  to  Miss  Mollie  Andrus,  a  native  of  Colorado,  whose  father 
is  a  well  knowrn  mining  engineer  in  Globe.  They  have  one  son, 
Robert  A.,  and  make  their  home  in  Globe,  where  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Robinson  are  socially  well  known  and  popular.

May  Day,  Phoenix  Kindergarten 

THE    PHOENIX    KINDERGARTEN 
By  Lucy  Terrill  Ellis 

In  the  city  of  Phoenix  is  a  small  corner  of  the  earth  where  Ari- 
zonans  of  the  Lilliput  type  are  preparing  for  school  days.  It  has  no 
first  person  singular  for  we  are  the  youngest  and  sweetest  order  of  the 
true  brotherhood  and  a  prophecy  of  the  beauty  of  community  life. 
Should  you  take  measurements  you  would  jot  down  150  ft.  front  by 
125  ft.  deep,  but  kinders  do  not  work  with  figures  or  finance.  Should 
you  ask  us  who  we  are  we  would  answer  with  Peter  Pan,  "We  are 
Joy!  Joy!!  Joy!!!"  As  young  apostles  of  Civics,  we  have  made  an 
ugly,  unkempt  corner  lot  a  delight  to  our  neighbors,  a  pleasure  to 
tourists,  and  a  paradise  for  the  babies  of  Phoenix.  The  garden  is  the 
gateway  to  the  farm,  so  we  delight  in  calling  ourselves  Kindercrofters. 
We  entered  not  only  the  Educational  Department  of  the  Arizona 
Fair,  but  with  the  fearlessness  of  natural  children,  dared  knock  at  the 
door  of  Agriculture.  "Come  in,"  said  the  big  farmer  to  the  little 
farmer,  "and  feast  with  us."  That  sounded  like  old  time  hospitality, 
when  there  wTas  room  for  the  children.  Generosity  is  native  to  the 
rural  life.  Our  place  cards  were  prizes  for  our  lettuce  and  radishes, 
and  we  were  as  happy  as  Froebel  when  some  dream  child  whispered 
to  him,  "Call  your  new  system  of  education  Kindergarten."  Our 
thrill  of  delight  came  through  the  knowledge  that  we  were  a  part  of 
the  progressive  growth  of  the  valley.  We  were  to  take  the  initiative 
step  in  the  world's  right  way  to  fight  the  great  enemy,  tuberculosis, 
by  putting  the  young  child  in  God's  great  out  of  doors,  covering  him 
with  Arizona  sunshine,  filling  him  with  Arizona  ozone.  For  several 


\V  HO     S      W  H  O 


Children  at  Plajr,  Phoenix  Kindergarten 


years  we  were  homeless,  depending  on  the  churches  for  our  workshop, 
then  we  awoke  one  morning  to  find  that  we  had  been  Madonna 
kissed,  that  in  our  valley  was  a  Garden  Mother.  She  led  us  into  a 
garden,  in  which  there  was  a  home,  and  it  was  ours.  The  house  is  a 
portable,  for  our  city  is  growing,  and  the  Kindergarten,  to  be  properly 
placed,  must  be  in  a  garden  away  from  the  busy  mart.  We  can  lift  the 
sides  of  our  house  and  let  the  out  of  doors  come  in,  or  open  them  and 
go  out  to  it.  God  Almighty  first  planted  a  garden.  It  was  the  antici- 
pated home  of  his  highest  creation,  man.  The  daily  intercourse  of  the 
child  with  nature,  the  out  of  door  life,  the  filling  of  the  lungs  writh 
pure  air,  little  feet  touching  Mother  Earth,  little  hands  digging,  plant- 
ing, watering,  pulling  and  watching  the  unfolding  of  plant  life,  is  true 
education.  Aristotle,  Comenius,  Rousseau,  Pestalozzi  and  Froebel 
had  caught  the  great  thought  of  God,  but  to  Froebel  falls  the  honor  of 
applying  it  to  education.  "The  education  of  man  is  the  evolution  of 
the  child."  said  he.  Pestalozzi  had  said,  "Education  is  a  development, 
not  an  acquirement.  Educate  through  the  child's  natural  activities, 
work  from  within  out."  Watching  the  child  before  he  was  six,  Froe- 
bel said,  "I  will  prepare  him  for  school  life  by  developing  his  three- 
fold nature  through  his  activities.  I  will  put  him  in  a  Kindergarten." 
And  for  more  than  a  century  and  a  half  that  beautiful  German  word, 
"Kindergarten"  has  been  sweet  to  the  child's  world.  Arizona 
has  one  wonderful  and  most  valuable  asset — her  children,  the  cause  of 
great  pride,  and  deserving  of  their  right  inheritance,  health,  oppor- 
tunity and  good  moral  environment,  which,  if  given  them  will  aid  In 
their  development  into  splendid  men  and  women.

The  University  of  Arizona 

THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  ARIZONA  is  an  integral  part  of  the  system  of 
public  education  established  by  and  for  the  Territory,  and  aims  as  the 
head  of  such  system,  to  fill  the  same  position  as  that  occupied  by  the 
state  universities  in  such  states  as  California  and  Wisconsin.  Its  gen- 
eral organization  is  in  accordance  with  the  Act  of  Congress  of  July  2, 
1862,  known  as  the  Morrill  Act,  creating  the  "Land  Grant  Colleges". 
The  details  of  its  organization  and  government  are  regulated  by  the 
Act  of  the  Legislative  Assembly  of  the  Territory  of  Arizona,  passed  in 
1885,  and  embodied  with  amendments,  in  the  Revised  Statutes  of 
Arizona  Territory,  1901,  which  vests  the  government  of  the  institu- 
tion in  a  corporation  styled  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University  of 
Arizona,  consisting  of  the  Governor  and  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction, ex-officio,  and  four  other  members  appointed  by  the  Gover- 
nor for  a  term  of  four  years. 

The  University  is  situated  about  a  mile  from  the  business  center  of 
Tucson,  a  city  which  lies  in  a  broad,  flat  valley,  at  an  elevation  of 
2,400  feet  above  sea  level,  and  is  surrounded  by  mountains.  .  The  dry, 
mild  and  equable  climate  of  Tucson  has  made  it  a  famous  health  resort 
unsurpassed  in  winter.  The  campus,  consisting  of  60  acres,  is  care- 
fully laid  out  in  drives,  lawns  and  gardens,  and  with  its  large  number 
of  trees  of  various  kinds,  has  the  appearance  of  a  well  kept  park. 

The  University  offers  standard  courses  in  agriculture,  including 
horticulture  and  animal  husbandry,  astronomy,  biology,  chemistry,  his- 
tory, economics,  English,  French,  German,  Spanish,  Latin  and  Greek, 
philosophy  and  education,  physics,  mechanic  arts,  mechanical  and  elec- 
trical engineering,  civil  engineering,  geology,  mining  engineering  and 
metallurgy. 

The  University  in  all  departments  is  open  to  properly  qualified  per- 
sons of  both  sexes.  It  is  maintained  by  funds  appropriated  by  the 
United  States  and  the  State  of  Arizona,  and  is  thus  enabled  to  offer 
its  privileges  to  residents  and  non-residents  at  a  very  moderate  charge. 
The  United  States  appropriates  $50,000  a  year  to  the  institution. 
Fifty-seven  sections  of  valuable  timber  land  in  Coconino  county  have 
been  set  apart  by  the  federal  government  for  the  maintenance  of  the 
University,  and  recent  provisions  of  the  enabling  act  increase  its  en- 
dowment to  over  $4,000,000.  The  University  also  receives  special 
appropriations  for  the  science  departments,  and  has  a  series  of  endow- 
ments provided  by  Professor  James  Douglas  and  others  for  the  depart- 
ment of  mineralogy  and  other  departments.  The  amount  received  an- 
nually from  miscellaneous  sources  such  as  matriculation,  and  tuition 
fees,  rent  of  cottages,  damage  to  property,  etc.,  is  about  $1,500,  while 
receipts  for  board,  light,  etc.,  amount  to  about  $18,000  annually. 

The  courses  offered  in  the  College  of  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic 
Arts  provide  both  a  liberal  training  along  literary  and  scientific  lines, 


IN      ARIZONA 


295

and  technical  training  along  engineering,  mechanical  and  agricultural 
lines.  Great  latitude  of  election  is  given  in  the  literary  and  scientific 
courses,  but  the  courses  in  engineering  are  more  rigid  in  their  require- 
ments. The  aim  is  to  combine  practical  with  theoretical  instruction. 
The  needs  of  a  young  and  growing  commonwealth  are  kept  in  mind 
and  a  steady  attempt  made  to  develop  the  adaptibility  and  resourceful- 
ness so  necessary  to  meet  changing  conditions. 

The  School  of  Mines  is  designed  for  the  education  and  training  of 
young  men  in  the  arts  and  sciences  directly  involved  in  the  industries 
of  mining  and  metallurgy.  Especial  attention  is  given  to  mathematics, 
physics  chemistry,  mineralogy  and  geology,  and  their  application. 
The  Bureau  of  Mines  and  Assaying,  while  not  directly  connected  with 
the  work  of  instruction,  a^ords,  with  its  laboratory  and  the  influx  of 
new  material,  a  valuable  object  lesson  to  the  advanced  students. 

During  the  year  1913  the  University  offered  for  the  first  time  a 
short  course  in  agriculture,  occupying  two  weeks  in  February.  The 
attendance  was  most  encouraging  and  warrants  the  continuance  of  the 
course  from  year  to  year.  A  home  economics  course  is  projected  for 
the  coming  year,  also  a  short  course  for  miners  and  prospectors. 

Students  coming  from  other  institutions  of  recognized  standing  may 
be  admitted  to  classes  above  Freshman  upon  presentation  of  properly 
authenticated  certificates  of  work  done  and  credited  upon  the  records 
with  so  much  of  such  work  done  as  corresponds  approximately  with 
the  courses  required  for  the  desired  degree  here.  Graduates  from 
courses  in  Arizona  Normals  are  given  a  total  credit  of  32  units  which 
shall  include  the  cancelling  of  the  requiremenas  in  Philosophy,  but  not 
in  English  1,  2,  nor  any  entrance  requirements,  the  equivalent  of 
which  shall  not  have  been  fulfilled.  Since  the  statutes  of  Arizona  pro- 
vide the  course  of  study  in  the  high  schools  of  the  state  "shall  be  such 
as,  when  completed,  shall  prepare  its  students  for  admission  into  the 
University",  the  University  admits  without  examination,  save  in  Eng- 
lish composition,  graduates  of  approved  high  schools  of  Arizona. 

Persons  of  mature  age  and  with  sufficient  preparation,  who  are  not 
candidates  for  degrees,  may  be  admitted  to  regular  classes  as  special 
students,  provided  they  show  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  instructors  that 
they  can  take  the  course  with  profit  to  themselves  and  without  detri- 
ment to  the  regular  classes. 

Advanced  degrees  will  be  given  only  for  work  done  in  residence,  to 
candidates  who  have  received  the  Bachelor's  degree  from  this  institu- 
tion or  one  of  similar  standing.  The  courses  in  each  case  will  be  laid 
out  by  those  in  charge  of  the  departments  in  which  work  for  the  degree 
is  to  be  taken,  and  must  be  approved  by  a  committee  composed  of  all 
the  heads  of  departments. 

The  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  deserves  special  mention.  A 
staff  of  scientists,  experts  in  plant  life,  the  chemistry  of  soils,  etc.,

carry  on  constant  investigations  and  experiments  in  their  lines,  trying 
out  their  hypotheses  by  actual  demonstrations  first  on  small  parcels  of 
ground  on  the  University  campus  and  then  on  the  University's  farm 
lands.  Allied  with  this  work,  but  on  a  somewhat  different  basis  is  the 
department  of  agriculture,  which  is  maintained  not  for  research  pur- 
poses, but  for  those  of  instruction.  Owing  to  the  wide  variation  of 
agricultural  conditions  in  Arizona,  it  has  been  found  of  advantage  to 
distribute  the  work  so  that  each  department  is  located,  so  far  as  possi- 
ble, in  the  region  most  favorable  to  the  accomplishment  of  its  own 
special  results,  and  there  are  branch  stations  at  Tempe,  Ariz.,  where 
the  date  farm  is  located;  between  Phoenix  and  Buckeye;  at  Yuma;  a 
dry  farm  at  Prescott,  and  another  dry  farm  at  Snowflake,  Apache 
County.  In  addition,  tests  of  dry  farming  and  of  underground  water 
flows  are  being  made  by  University  authorities  in  the  Sulphur  Springs 
Valley  of  Cochise  County. 

Provision  is  made  so  far  as  possible  for  furnishing  board  and  rooms 
to  students  of  both  sexes  at  the  University,  the  young  women  under 
the  direction  of  a  capable  and  experienced  preceptress.  The  dining 
hall,  under  the  management  of  a  paid  steward,  can  accommodate  100, 
and  while  the  charge  of  $18.00  per  month  for  board  is  very  low, 
it  is  the  aim  of  the  management  to  serve  substantial  and  appetizing 
meals.  All  students  having  rooms  in  the  dormitories  are  required  to 
take  their  meals  in  the  dining  hall,  while  with  others  it  is  optional. 

The  attendance  at  the  University  for  the  regular  terms,  vibrating 
for  a  number  of  years  about  the  two  hundred  mark,  has  now  risen 
to  above  three  hundred  and  twenty-five,  if  we  include  those  enrolled 
for  the  short  course  in  agriculture — 77  in  all.  The  preparatory 
classes  are  gradually  being  dropped  and  their  place  taken  by  new  and 
more  college  students.  The  spirit  of  the  campus  is  changing  to  one 
that  is  more  distinctively  collegiate. 

The  peculiar  strength  of  the  University  has  been  in  its  faculty, 
brought  together  from  the  great  universities  of  the  country.  They 
would  be  a  university  in  themselves.  With  such  a  faculty  the  future 
of  the  University  would  be  secure ;  but  with  the  addition  of  proper 
equipment,  as  needed,  the  institution  will  expand  rapidly  in  its  service 
to  the  state. 

Particular  attention  is  given  to  athletics  at  the  University  and 
the  baseball,  football,  basketball  and  other  teams  have  made  an  ex- 
cellent record  during  the  past  few  years.  During  the  past  year  an 
athletic  tournament  was  held  at  the  University  in  which  teams  from 
all  parts  of  the  state  were  present,  and  those  attending  had  a  splen- 
did opportunity  to  investigate  the  University  course  and  the  advant- 
ages offered  in  athletics.  Owing  to  the  excellent  climate,  it  is  pos- 
sible for  athletes  to  train  in  the  open  during  the  entire  year,  which  has 
proven  a  source  of  decided  benefit  as  a  diversion  from  the  confinement 
of  the  study  hall  and  preparation  for  the  real  conflict.

The  Northern  Arizona  Normal  School 

THE  NORTHERN  ARIZONA  NORMAL  SCHOOL  is  located  at  Flag- 
staff, on  the  main  line  of  the  Santa  Fe,  in  the  center  of  the  great 
timber  belt  of  northern  Arizona.  The  scenery  in  this  section  is  un- 
surpassed. The  San  Francisco  Peaks,  in  full  view  from  the  normal 
school,  in  summer  time  wear  a  hood  of  mist  during  the  rainy  season 
and  in  wrinter  time  a  crown  of  snow.  They  are  always  beautiful  and 
inspiring. 

The  Sunset  Mountain  and  the  Cliff  Dwellings  are  reached  by  team 
or  a"to  in  a  few  hours.  The  Sunset  Mountain  is  a  perfect  crater, 
the  rim  of  which  is  from  two  to  three  miles  in  circumference.  It 
has  received  its  name  from  the  fact  that  the  cinders  give  it  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  sunset.  The  Cliff  Dwellings  are  among  the  most  ex- 
tensive and  the  grandest  in  the  southwest.  The  Petrified  Forests 
can  be  seen  in  a  trip  requiring  from  one  to  two  days,  and  the  Grand 
Canyon  of  the  Colorado  is  now  reached  from  Flagstaff  by  auto  at 
a  moderate  expense.  These  are  natural  winders  that  people  cross 
the  continent  to  see — that  they  come  from  all  the  world  to  see. 

The  climatic  conditions  are  those  of  the  temperate  zone  rather  than 
the  tropics,  as  in  the  southern  part  of  the  state.  Although  there  is 
moisture  enough  to  grow  trees  over  one  hundred  twenty-five  feet 
high,  there  is  the  dryness  of  the  Rocky  Mountain  atmosphere,  and  the 
heat  in  the  summer  is  never  oppressive. 

The  flora  of  northern  Arizona  is  abundant  and  varied.  Many  of 
the  flowers,  like  the  primrose,  that  bloom  on  the  banks  of  Salt  River 
in  March  bloom  at  Flagstaff  in  August.  The  beautiful  lupine  grows 
everywhere.  The  flowers  are  so  abundant  that  probably  there  is  no 
place  where  the  humming  birds  are  so  numerous  as  at  Flagstaff  in 
August. 

Flagstaff  is  a  thriving  little  city  of  over  two  thousand  inhabitants. 
It  is  supplied  with  an  abundance  of  pure  mountain  water,  the  intake 
of  which  is  more  than  half  way  up  the  Peaks.  Having  also  a  proper 
sewer  system,  the  sanitary  conditions  are  all  that  can  be  desired. 

The  Northern  Arizona  Normal  School  has  more  than  a  statewide 
reputation.  Of  the  accredited  schools  in  California  it  leads  the  list, 
and  Washington,  Oregon,  Idaho  and  Utah  also  recognize  its 
diplomas. 

The  faculty  of  this  School  consists  of  fourteen  members,  all  of 
whom  have  been  selected  with  regard  to  the  peculiar  fitness  for 
the  positions  they  hold.  The  schools  represented  are:  Arizona 
School  of  Music;  Tempe  Normal  School;  Eastern  Illinois  State  Nor- 
mal School  ;  Oshkosh  Normal  School ;  Ypsilanti  Normal  School ;  Illi- 
nois State  Normal  University;  University  of  Wisconsin;  Washington

Three  courses  of  study  are  maintained.  A  course  of  five  years  is 
offered  to  those  who  enter  after  completing  the  eighth  grade,  and  a 
course  of  two  years  is  offered  to  those  who  have  completed  a  high 
school  course  of  four  years.  Those  who  do  not  wish  to  prepare  to 
teach  may  take  a  course  of  four  years  and  receive  a  diploma  after 
completing  sixteen  units  of  work,  half  of  which  is  elective.  The 
student  is  advised  to  make  such  selections  as  will  fit  him  best  for  the 
work  he  expects  to  do  after  completing  his  course.  It  is  planned  to 
permit  as  much  freedom  of  choice  as  is  consistent  with  efficiency. 

A  well  organized  and  well  equipped  training  school  is  conducted  in 
connection  with  the  normal  school.  All  the  eight  grades  are  repre- 
sented. The  teaching  force  consists  of  a  principal  and  three  assistant 
critic  teachers.  All  have  had  the  advantages  of  a  normal  school 
training  and  a  large  experience  in  teaching.  Besides  this,  two  have 
completed  a  course  in  Teachers'  College,  Columbia  University.  This 
training  school  offers  better  opportunities  to  student  teachers  than  any 
school  in  the  state.  Prospective  teachers  do  not  realize  how  much  of 
their  success  depends  upon  this  feature  of  their  training.  The  valu- 
able training  received  at  Flagstaff  is  being  generally  recognized  by 
superintendents  and  school  officers,  and  without  further  experience 
than  that  received  in  their  practice  teaching  members  of  the  class  of 
'12  wTere  located  in  Bisbee,  Tucson,  Tombstone,  Benson,  Williams, 
Flagstaff,  Holbrook,  Snowflake,  Springerville  and  Eagar. 

The  summer  school  conducted  by  the  Northern  Arizona  Normal 
School  is  one  of  its  distinguishing  features.  The  sessions  begin  each 
year  between  the  15th  and  the  20th  of  June.  The  attendance  has 
greatly  increased  the  last  two  years.  During  the  summer  of  1912 
there  were  enrolled  between  ninety  and  one  hundred  students.  Two 
purposes  are  kept  in  mind  in  planning  the  wrork  for  the  summer. 
One  is  to  help  those  who  wish  to  prepare  to  take  the  examination  and 
the  other  to  offer  an  opportunity  to  do  work  that  may  be  claimed 
for  graduation.  All  work  done  in  the  summer  school  may  be 
claimed  for  graduation.  But  the  purposes  of  the  students  differ.  One 
has  the  examination  in  mind,  while  another  is  anxious  to  finish  the 
course  as  soon  as  may  be  to  get  a  diploma,  and  the  school  tries  to 
accommodate  both. 

Many  high  school  students  take  advantage  of  the  summer  session. 
One  who  finishes  the  high  school  course  in  May  or  June  may  enter 
at  the  opening  of  the  summer  school  and  complete  the  prescribed 
course  by  Christmas  of  the  following  year ;  two  summer  terms  count- 
ing the  same  as  a  half  year.  This  arrangement  has  made  it  conveni- 
ent to  graduate  two  classes  a  year,  one  at  the  close  of  school  in  the 
spring  and  one  the  week  before  Christmas.  The  class  at  Christmas

is  known  as  the  Midwinter  Class.  Regular  graduating  exercises  are 
conducted  at  both  seasons.  A  large  percentage  of  the  midwinter  class 
finds  work  by  the  first  of  January.  High  school  students  should  note 
this.  All  lines  of  athletics  flourish  at  the  Northern  Arizona  Normal 
and  the  teams  from  this  school  have  won  many  notable  victories 
during  the  past  few  years  in  baseball,  basketball  and  on  the 
gridiron. 

Within  the  last  three  years  over  thirty  thousand  dollars  have  been 
spent  in  improvements.  Besides  completing  the  unfinished  space  in 
the  main  building,  a  dining  hall  has  been  built  at  a  cost  of  over 
twelve  thousand  dollars.  It  may  be  doubted  whether  there  is  a  better 
dining  hall  anywhere.  It  is  the  desire  of  the  management  to  have 


Northern  Arizona  Normal  Athletes 

the  dining  hall  as  homelike  as  it  can  be.  For  this  reason  it  is  pro- 
vided with  small  tables,  seating  six  each.  This  adds  to  the  sociability 
at  meal  time.  The  preceptress  of  the  girls'  hall  and  Dr.  Blome  and 
his  family  always  eat  with  the  students.  Dr.  Blome  and  his  family, 
by  the  way,  live  in  the  boys'  hall.  In  this  way  things  are  always 
under  the  principal's  direct  supervision. 

Any  inquiry  about  the  Northern  Arizona  Normal  School  sent  to 
Dr.  R.  H.  H.  Blome,  Flagstaff,  Arizona,  will  receive  prompt  at- 
tention.

The  Tempe  Normal  School 

THE  TEMPE  NORMAL  SCHOOL  OF  ARIZONA  was  established  by  an 
Act  of  the  Legislative  Assembly  of  Arizona,  approved  March  10, 
1885.  It  is  pleasantly  located  at  Tempe,  a  town  of  1600  inhabitants, 
distant  but  nine  miles  from  Phoenix,  the  capital  of  Arizona.  The  situ- 
ation is  an  ideal  one  from  every  point  of  view.  Lying  at  or  near  the 
center  of  population  of  the  state,  Tempe  is  easily  reached  by  rail  over 
the  Arizona  Eastern,  which  gives  direct  connection  with  the  main 
lines  of  the  Southern  Pacific  and  Santa  Fe  systems.  The  fertile  fields 
of  the  Salt  River  Valley  surround  the  town,  delighting  the  eye  with 
their  perpetual  verdure  and  insuring  an  unfailing  supply  of  fresh 
fruits  and  vegetables,  and  the  best  of  dairy  products.  The  climate 
during  the  entire  school  year  is  not  only  delightful,  but  wholesome  and 
conducive  to  study. 

The  moral  and  social  atmosphere  is  all  that  could  be  desired.  The 
residents  of  the  community  are  thrifty  and  industrious  Americans, 
most  of  whom  have  come  hither  from  the  middle  and  eastern  states. 
These  people  are  actively  interested  in  the  welfare  of  the  Normal 
School  and  pride  themselves  upon  surrounding  the  students  with 
wholesome  influences. 

As  the  sale  of  liquor  is  prohibited  in  Tempe  and  the  surrounding  dis- 
tricts the  undesirable  influence  of  the  saloon  is  not  to  be  met  here,  and 
the  absence  of  the  distractions  of  a  large  city  is  a  distinct  advantage  to 
the  student  who  wishes  to  make  the  most  of  his  time  and  opportunities. 

On  arriving  at  the  Normal,  one  finds  the  group  of  buildings  well 
distributed  over  a  beautiful  campus  of  twenty  acres,  within  convenient 
walking  distance  of  the  main  business  portion  of  the  town.  The 
grounds  are  laid  out  with  well  kept  lawns,  gravelled  drives,  and  an 
abundance  of  shade  trees,  shrubs  and  flowering  plants  in  great  va- 
riety. Abundance  of  water  and  the  care  of  a  skillful  gardener  make 
the  campus  highly  attractive  throughout  the  year.  Within  the  limits 
of  the  grounds  the  student  finds  abundant  provision  for  recreation  in 
the  excellent  tennis  courts,  basketball  cages,  and  the  ample  athletic 
field  with  its  baseball  diamond  and  running  tracks. 

In  addition  to  the  main  campus  an  additional  ten  acres,  adjoining 
the  former,  was  recently  acquired  for  an  experimental  farm. 

The  faculty  consists  of  more  than  twenty  teachers,  each  a  specialist 
in  his  line.  The  graduates  now  number  close  to  five  hundred,  most 
of  whom  are  engaged  in  teaching  in  this  state.  The  enrollment  for 
the  present  year  is  three  hundred  and  fifty  students,  representing  al- 
most every  county  and  section  of  Arizona.  In  addition  there  are 
registered  close  to  one  hundred  and  seventy-five  boys  and  girls  in  the 
eight  grades  of  the  training  department. 

The  buildings  are  nine  in  number  as  follows:  The  Main  Building, 
Science  Building,  Auditorium  and  Gymnasium,  Training  School,

Principal's  Residence,  Heating  Plant,  Dining  Hall,  Ladies'  Dormi- 
tory, accommodating  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  students,  and  Men's 
Dormitory  with  rooms  for  thirty. 

It  is  anticipated  that  the  present  session  of  the  Legislature  will  pro- 
vide for  the  construction  of  further  dormitory  accommodations  for 
young  lady  students  and  that  two  new  dormitories  on  the  cottage-unit 
plan  at  a  cost  of  $18,000  each  will  relieve  the  congested  conditions 
that  now  exists  at  the  main  dormitory. 

It  is  fully  expected,  too,  that  the  Legislature  will  appropriate  at 
least  $90,000  to  build  and  equip  an  Industrial  Arts  Building  to  house 
the  departments  of  Manual  Training,  Domestic  Science,  and  Art,  all 
of  which  are  at  present  poorly  quartered,  to  the  impairment  of  the 
work  and  the  utter  disparagement  of  expansion.  It  is  to  this  school 
that  the  state  must  eventually  look  for  the  training  of  specialists  as 
teachers  in  Household  Arts  and  Economy  including  sewing,  cooking, 
etc.,  and  also  in  woodwork,  shop  work,  forge  work,  metal  work,  and 
clay  modelling.  And  to  this  end  the  erection  of  the  Industrial  Arts 
Building  will  largely  contribute. 

There  are  two  regular  courses  of  study  leading  to  graduation  for 
the  purpose  of  securing  a  diploma  to  teach  in  the  schools  of  this  state. 

(a)    A  minimum  course  of  five  years  for  graduates  from  the  eighth 
grade  of  the  public  schools. 

(b)  A  minimum  course  of  two  years  for  graduates  from  a  four 
years'  high  school  course. 

Students  who  do  not  desire  to  become  teachers  may  pursue  the 
regular  five  year  course,  omitting  all  the  professional  work  and  special- 
izing in  Latin  and  Spanish,  English,  science  or  mathematics.  Such 
a  course  will  require  four  years'  work.  Students  completing  such  four 
year  course  will  be  granted  a  certificate  which  can  be  used  as  a  creden- 
tial to  admit  them  to  a  college  or  university,  but  they  will  not  receive 
a  diploma  entitling  them  to  teach  in  the  public  schools.  Students  pur- 
suing such  regular  courses  will  be  exempt  from  payment  of  tuition. 

Owing  to  the  central  location  of  Tempe,  students  at  the  Normal 
are  given  the  benefit  of  athletic  contests  with  teams  from  Mesa, 
Phoenix  and  Tempe  High  schools,  the  Indian  school  and  other 
teams  from  Phoenix  and  vicinity.  The  baseball  teams  and  football 
squads  from  the  Normal  have  more  than  held  their  own  with  the 
teams  with  which  they  have  clashed,  and  their  records  are  most  grati- 
fying to  the  student  body  and  the  alumni.  The  students  have  an 
excellent  athletic  field,  and  their  gymnasium  is  all  that  could  be 
desired. 

Room  and  board  in  the  dormitories  is  secured  for  $16.50  per  month 
of  four  weeks,  which  includes  board,  room,  furniture,  bedding,  laun- 
dry, baths,  electric  light,  steam  heat,  running  water,  use  of  pianos,  etc. 

Further  information  desired  may  be  had  by  addressing  Prof.  A.  J. 
Matthews,  President,  Tempe,  Arizona.

O.   C.   Case,   State  Superintendent  of  Schools 


IN       ARIZONA  309 

C.  O.  CASE,  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  was  born 
in  Rock  Island  County,  Illinois.  His  father,  Harrison  Case,  was  a 
Baptist  minister,  and  had  not  accumulated  any  more  of  this  world's 
goods  than  is  ordinarily  the  lot  of  men  of  this  calling  who  preach  from 
conviction.  As  both  his  parents  had  died  by  the  time  he  was  eight 
years  old,  Mr.  Case  has  found  life  an  uphill  journey  in  reality,  but 
has  valiantly  surmounted  each  obstacle  met  with  until  he  accomplished 
what  was  his  main  object  in  early  life,  a  thorough  education.  When 
fitted  for  the  work,  he  began  teaching  at  an  early  age  in  order  to  se- 
cure funds  to  further  his  object,  and  while  thus  engaged  continued 
his  studies  to  aid  him  in  advanced  work.  He  is,  therefore,  well  equip- 
ped for  his  position,  since  his  experience  has  been  in  all  the  phases  of 
school  work,  as  grade  and  high  school  teacher,  principal  and  superin- 
tendent. He  is  well  known  throughout  the  state  and  has  held  vari- 
ous positions  of  importance  in  educational  work  here,  among  which  is 
on  the  faculty  of  the  Phoenix  High  School.  He  has  also  been  a  mem- 
ber of  the  State  Teachers'  Association  for  years,  and  in  this  has  held 
all  the  offices  and  has  been  a  leader  in  matters  of  real  educational 
worth.  Mr.  Case  has  done  much  to  improve  the  course  of  study  in 
the  state  and  by  dint  of  his  personal  experiences  in  the  work  of  teach- 
ing has  been  able  to  render  valuable  aid  to  many  in  their  chosen  work. 
Mr.  Case  is  a  progressive  Democrat  and  has  been  a  faithful  party 
worker  so  far  as  his  educational  duties  would  permit.  He  has  also 
been  for  some  years  a  contributor  to  important  magazines  printed 
in  the  West,  among  them  "Sunset,"  "West  Coast"  and  "Pacific 
Monthly." 


ARTHUR  HERBERT  WILDE,  President  of  the  University  of  Arizona, 
was  born  at  Framingham,  Mass.,  April  29,  1865,  and  is  the  son  of 
Joseph  and  Susan  French  Wilde.  His  education  was  received  in  his 
native  State.  He  was  graduated  from  Boston  University  with  the 
class  of  '87,  then  taught  for  two  years,  when  he  returned  for  ad- 
vanced work,  and  later  entered  Harvard  University,  receiving  there 
the  degree  A.  M.,  1899,  and  Ph.  D.,  1901.  From  1894  he  was  a 
member  of  the  College  Faculty  at  Northwestern  University  as  in- 
structor, assistant  professor,  and  professor,  his  special  field  of  instruc- 
tion having  been  history.  Dr.  Wilde's  experience  in  the  East,  both 
as  instructor  and  in  administrative  capacities,  enabled  him  to  bring  to 
the  University  of  Arizona  a  valuable  fund  of  knowledge  and  an  execu- 
tive ability  that  has  meant  much  for  the  advancement  of  the  Uni- 
versity. As  Registrar  of  the  College  at  Northwestern,  a  University 
that  has  an  enrollment  of  about  4,500  students;  principal  of  Evans-

Secretary  of  the  University  and  administrative  assistant  to  the  Presi- 
dent, he  has  met  and  coped  with  questions  which  have  ably  fitted  him

for  his  present  position,  a  fact  which  he  has  demonstrated  during  his 
brief  administration.  Dr.  Wilde  received  his  early  education  in  the 
public  schools  of  Massachusetts,  which  rank  eminently  high  in  the 
nation,  and  is  deeply  interested  in  the  development  of  State  Universi- 
ties as  the  culmination  of  the  public  school  system.  He  is  an  active 
member  of  the  American  Historical  Association,  and  was  elected  hon- 
orary member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa  Society.  Dr.  Wilde  is  a  contribu- 
tor to  periodicals  on  culture  of  early  middle  ages  and  general  educa- 
tional matters.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Congregationalist  Church,  and 
in  politics  an  Independent  Republican.  He  was  married  September  6, 
1892,  to  Miss  Sarah  Frances  Fellows,  of  Center  Sandwich,  N.  H. 


ARTHUR  JOHN  MATTHEWS,  president  of  Tempe  Normal  School, 
has  been  engaged  in  educational  work  for  more  than  thirty  years,  as 
teacher,  principal  and  superintendent  of  public  schools  and  as  head  of 
the  Tempe  Normal.     Mr.  Matthews  was  born  in  Cazenovia,  N.  Y., 
September  3,  1860,  and  is  the  son  of  Patrick  Henry  and  Anne  King 
Matthews,  both  of  Irish  descent.    His  childhood  and  youth  were  spent 
on  a  farm  and  his  early  education  received  in  township  schools.     He 
then  attended  Cazenovia  Seminary,  a  Methodist  institution,  as  prepa- 
ration for  Syracuse  University,  which  he  attended  two  years,  and  then 
supplemented  the  whole  by  a  course  at  Poughkeepsie  Business  College. 
He  began  teaching  at  the  age  of  nineteen,  while  a  student  in  the  Semi- 
nary and  the  University,  and  for  several  terms  was  thus  employed 
during  the  winter  months.     After  leaving  the  University  he  was  prin- 
cipal of  the  schools  of  West  Eaton,  N.  Y.,  and  later  superintendent  at 
Adams,  N.  Y.     In  1887  he  went  to  Wyoming  and  for  ten  years  was 
superintendent  of  schools  in  Rock  Springs  and  Rawlins.     The  family 
then  removed  to  Arizona  because  of  his  daughter's  health,  and  for 
three  years  he  was  superintendent  of  Prescott  schools,  after  which  he 
was  elected  to  his  present  position.      Having  devoted  practically  his 
entire  life  to  school  work,  and  advanced  from  the  village  school,  as 
teacher,   through  the  various  grades  of  educational   work,   Professor 
Matthews  has  acquired  a  thorough  knowledge  of  teaching  and  is  well 
equipped  not  only  to  meet  all  phases  of  responsibility  incident  to  his 
present  position,  but  to  enable  those  to  whom  he  is  the  leading  spirit, 
both  teacher  and  pupil,  to  make  the  most  of  every  opportunity  afford- 
ed them  in  their  work.     His  enthusiasm  for  his  profession  is  not  con- 
fined to  his  actual  labors,  but  in  a  general  way  he  has  been  active,  and 
in  both  Wyoming  and  Arizona  has  been  president  of  the  State  Teach- 
ers' Association  and  member  of  the  Board  of  Education,  having  held 
the  latter  position  in  this  state  for  the  past  twelve  years.     He  is  now 
senior  member  of  the  Board.     He  has  also  been  an  active  member  of 
the  National  Educational  Association  for  the  last  twelve  years,  during 
which  he  has  been  director  for  Arizona,  and  has  served  as  vice  presi- 
dent of  the  Association  and  vice  president  of  the  Normal  Department.

For  four  years  he  has  been  a  member  of  the  State  School  Law  Com- 
mittee. Professor  Matthews  is  a  Democrat,  but  never  an  active 
worker  in  the  political  field.  In  1896  he  was  candidate  for  the  posi- 
tion of  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  in  Wyoming,  but 
was  defeated  by  Estelle  Reele,  the  Republican  candidate,  who  was  the 
first  woman  elected  to  a  state  office  in  the  United  States.  For  many 
years  Professor  Matthews  has  been  a  member  of  the  K.  P.  Lodge,  of 
which  he  is  Past  Chancellor,  and  for  the  past  five  years  has  been  a 
Trustee  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  the  State  of  Arizona,  and  with  two 
other  Trustees  has  special  care  of  the  Pythian  Home  Funds.  He  has 
also  been  an  active  Mason  for  the  past  five  years,  and  has  been  Master 
of  Tempe  Lodge.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Grand  Masonic  Lodge  of 
Arizona  and  has  been  Grand  Orator.  January  1,  1887,  he  married 
Miss  Carrie  Louise  Walden,  to  whom  have  been  born  two  children, 
Arthur,  deceased,  and  Anna,  wife  of  E.  L.  Hendrix,  Roundup,  Mont. 
The  family  are  members  of  the  Episcopalian  church. 


DR.  RULOLPH  H.  H.  BLOME,  President  of  the  Northern  Arizona 
State  Normal  School,  is  the  son  of  Frederick  and  Margaret  Hanfeld 
Blome,  and  was  born  in  the  Province  of  Hanover,  Germany,  in  1854. 
His  maternal  grandfather  was  at  the  Battle  of  Waterloo.  Doctoi 
Blome  came  to  America  at  the  age  of  fifteen.  He  took  a  course  at  the 
Illinois  State  Normal  School,  and  later  attended  the  University  of 
Jena,  Germany,  from  which  he  received  the  degree  Doctor  of  Phil- 
osophy. He  came  to  Arizona  in  1900,  and  immediately  associated 
himself  with  the  Tempe  Normal,  where  he  remained  nine  years. 
During  that  time  he  was  teacher  of  Psychology  and  Pedagogy,  and 
later  Director  of  the  Training  School.  Dr.  Blome  is  a  thorough 
scholar,  a  student  always,  and  an  educator  in  the  truest  sense  of  the 
word.  He  wins  the  confidence  and  co-operation  of  his  teachers  and 
students,  and  has  the  faculty  of  obtaining  the  best  possible  results  from 
both.  During  the  years  he  was  at  Tempe  his  success  was  marked, 
and  during  the  three  years  he  has  been  connected  with  the  Flagstaff 
Normal  the  attendance  has  more  than  doubled  and  the  work  accom- 
plished in  the  various  departments  has  shown  a  corresponding  im- 
provement. Dr.  Blome  is  also  well  known  as  an  institute  instructor, 
his  wrork  in  this  respect  being  highly  practical  and  of  a  sort  that  is  of 
actual  aid  to  the  teacher  in  the  life  of  the  schoolroom.  Having  a  com- 
plete mastery  of  the  profession  of  teaching,  in  both  grade  and  advanced 
work,  his  interest  and  intense  enthusiasm  are  contagious,  and  his 
efforts,  whether  as  head  of  the  Normal  or  on  the  platform,  are  pro- 
ductive of  the  very  best  results.  One  of  his  most  prominent  charac- 
teristics is  the  absolute  thoroughness  invariably  inherent  in  the  German 
scholar.  Dr.  Blome  was  married  November  30,  1882,  to  Miss  Pierce. 
They  have  four  children — Nora  Elizabeth,  Helen  Margaret,  Maurice 
Hanfeld  and  Harold.

WHO     S      WHO 


PROFESSOR  E.  C.  BUNCH,  recently  appointed  Assistant  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Arizona  Schools,  has  been  interested  in  school  work 
all  his  life,  and  is,  therefore,  eminently  qualified  to  fill  the  position 
to  which  he  has  been  chosen.  He  is  the  son  of  Bradley  and  Jane 

Boswell  Bunch,  and 
was  born  in  Berryville, 
Ark.,  m  1856.  His 
grandfather,  Nathaniel 
Bunch,  Captain  of 
Tennessee  Militia, 
fought  under  Andrevv 
Jackson  at  the  Battle 
of  New  Orleans,  and 
the  powder  flask  car- 
ried by  him  during  this 
battle  is  still  in  exist- 
ence and  much  treas- 
ured for  its  historical 
value  by  its  possessor, 
Hugh  Bunch,  of 
Bowie,  Arizona,  a 
nephew  of  Professor 
Bunch.  In  1876  Pro- 
fessor Bunch  first 
came  to  Arizona,  and 
after  a  time  left  here 
for  Oregon,  but  he 
freely  confesses  he  wai. 
glad  to  return  and 
that  he  did  so  with  a 
determination  to  make 

Arizona  his  permanent  home.  Apart  from  his  work  as  an  educator, 
the  first  important  enterprise  in  wrhich  he  was  engaged  was  the 
construction  of  a  large  ditch  and  reservoir,  now  known  as  the 
Bunch  reservoir,  which  was  the  first  large  reservoir  in  Arizona. 
Although  the  main  work  of  his  life  has  always  been  educational, 
he  has  during  the  greater  part  of  the  time  been  devoting  much 
time  and  energy  to  development  projects,  irrigation  mostly,  and  he 
completed  the  Owyhee  Canal  in  Oregon,  which  supplies  water  for 
more  than  40,000  acres  of  land.  In  addition  to  his  school  and 
development  work  he  has  found  time  at  various  intervals  to  act  as 
Justice  of  the  Peace,  Probate  Judge  and  Undersheriff  of  Apache 
County,  and  he  remembers  \\hen  it  was  customary  to  adjourn  court 
with  a  six-shooter.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Twenty-fourth 
Legislature  from  Maricopa  County,  and  served  as  chairman  of  the 
special  committee  that  had  charge  of  all  gambling  legislation  during

that  session.  He  is  an  active  member  of  the  Odd  Fellows,  and 
both  Mrs.  Bunch  and  he  are  prominent  members  of  the  M.  E. 
Church.  Mrs.  Bunch,  before  her  marriage  in  September,  1885, 
was  Miss  Ellen  Weatherford,  of  Richfield,  Mo.  Professor  Bunch 
has  one  daughter,  Edith,  and  five  sons,  Carl,  Conway,  Harrv,  Alvin 
and  LeRoy. 


HENRY    QUINTUS    ROBERTSON,    Superintendent    of    the    Public 
Schools  of  Mesa,  and  one  of  the  best  known  educators  of  the  State, 

is  also  a  member  of  the  State  Exam- 
ining Board,  to  which  he  was  ap- 
pointed by  Governor  Hunt  in  rec- 
ognition of  his  excellent  work  as  an 
educator  in  the  State  of  Arizona. 
Mr.  Robertson,  the  son  of  P.  C. 
and  Elizabeth  Tebbs  Robertson, 
was  born  in  Yolo  County,  Califor- 
nia, and  passed  his  early  life  on  a 
farm  three  miles  from  Woodland. 
His  father  was  the  first  assessor  of 
Yolo  County  and  joint  assembly- 
man from  Modoc  and  Siskiu  Coun- 
ties. He  is  a  lineal  descendant  of 
General  James  Robertson,  and  a 
cousin  of  Colonel  Frank  Robert- 
son of  General  Price's  army.  Mr. 
Robertson  wTas  educated  in  the  pub- 
lic and  Normal  schools  of  Tempe. 
Having  been  graduated  from  the 
latter,  he  at  once  took  up  the  pro- 
fession of  teaching,  his  first  work 
having  been  at  Tempe  in  1888. 
Since  that  time  he  has  been  em- 
ployed in  this  capacity  in  various 

sections  of  the  State,  during  the  past  four  years  in  his  present  posi- 
tion at  Me^a,  to  which  he  has  been  re-elected.  He  has  been  a  resi- 
dent of  Arizora  since  1881,  when  he  located  in  Globe.  Mr.  Rob- 
ertson was  married  in  May,  1889,  to  Miss  Katie  Brown,  whose 
tather,  Henry  Brown,  was  a  captain  in  the  Confederate  Army  under 
General  Lee,  and  her  paternal  grandfather  owned  the  house  that 
was  purchased  for  Jefferson  Davis 's  home  after  the  war.  Mr.  Robert- 
son's family  consists  of  Mrs.  W.  R.  Hughes,  Miss  Dorris,  also  a 
teacher  in  the  schools  of  Mesa;  Orrick,  Alleen,  Henry  and  How-

Clay  F.  Leonard 


Dr.  Benjamin  B.  Moeur 


CLAY  FINSON  LEONARD,  member  of  the  Board  of  Education  of 
the  Tempe  Normal  School,  was  born  in  Waubeek,  Iowa,  August  17, 
1862.  He  is  the  son  of  Morgan  Leonard  and  Mary  L.  Finson,  both 
descendants  of  earl}'  pioneer  families  of  Iowa.  His  maternal  ances- 
tors, however,  were  among  the  early  settlers  of  Massachusetts,  and 
some  of  their  names  are  prominently  shown  on  the  Massachusetts 
State  Records  of  the  Revolution.  His  great-great-grandfather, 
Thomas  Finson,  of  Cape  Ann,  Mass.,  was  corporal  in  the  Twenty- 
seventh  Massachusetts  Regiment,  having  enlisted  May  29,  1775; 
and  his  father,  Thomas  Finson,  seaman,  is  on  the  list  of  American 
prisoners  brought  to  Marblehead  in  the  cartel,  "Pacific,"  to  be  ex- 
changed for  British  prisoners.  In  Mr.  Leonard's  personality  are  to 
be  noted  many  of  the  strong  characteristiss  of  this  pioneer  ancestry. 
Mr.  Leonard  received  his  early  education  in  the  common  schools  of 
Missouri,  and  finished  at  the  State  Normal  School  of  Kirksville,  from 
which  he  was  graduated.  He  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona  since 
1888,  and  Is  very  well  known  in  the  State,  especially  in  and  about 
Maricopa  County,  where  he  has  held  various  offices.  For  seven 
years  he  held  the  position  of  County  Recorder,  and  made  an  excellent 
record  for  the  able  manner  in  which  he  managed  the  affairs  of  the 
office.  He  is  at  present  Deputy  Clerk  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Mari- 


IN      ARIZONA 


copa  County,  a  position  in  which  his  marked  attributes  of  courtesy, 
promptness  and  absolute  attention  to  detail  are  a  valuable  asset.  Mr. 
Leonard  is  Secretary  of  the  Arizona  Society  of  the  Sons  of  the  Ameri- 
can Revolution,  and  has  reached  the  highest  degree  in  the  Masonic 
order.  He  was  married  in  1893  to  Miss  Serena  Goodrich  Leonard, 
and  thev  have  since  made  their  home  in  Phoenix. 


DR.  BENJAMIN  BAKER  MOEUR,  member  of  the  Educational 
Board  of  the  Tempe  Normal  School,  is  known  in  the  State  not  only 
as  a  physician  and  surgeon,  but  also  for  the  deep  interest  he  has 
taken  in  educational  work  and  his  important  part  in  the  political  life 
of  Arizona  during  the  past  16  years.  Dr.  Moeur  has  always  been 
active  in  the  educational  development  of  the  State,  but,  being  a  resi- 
dent of  Tempe,  has  displayed  particular  activity  in  behalf  of  the 
Normal  School  there.  Dr.  Moeur  and  Mr.  Clay  F.  Leonard  form 
the  Educational  Board  of  the  institution,  Superintendent  O.  P.  Case 
being  an  ex-officio  member.  Dr.  Moeur  also  served  as  member  of 
the  School  Board  for  eight  consecutive  years.  He  was  born  in  Dech- 
erd,  Tenn.,  December  22,  1869,  and  coming  of  a  family  of  profes- 
sional men,  he  is  but  following  the  bent  of  his  inherited  tendencies  in 
his  professional  and  educational  labors.  His  father,  Dr.  J.  B.  Moeur, 
was  a  leading  physician  of  Tennessee,  and  his  mother,  who  was  Miss 
Esther  K.  Knight,  was  a  member  of  the  well-known  Knight  family 
of  the  South.  In  his  profession  Dr.  Moeur  is  a  leader,  and  ever 
evinces  a  deep  interest  in  the  betterment  of  conditions  that  in  any  way 
pertain  to  medical  or  surgical  work.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Ameri- 
can and  the  Arizona  Medical  Associations,  the  Maricopa  Medical 
Society  and  the  Southside  Medical  Association,  being  Chairman  of 
the  latter. 

Dr.  Moeur  was  a  member  of  the  constitutional  convention,  took 
a  prominent  part  in  the  deliberations  of  that  body,  and  was  consid- 
ered one  of  the  ablest  men  in  that  assembly  of  the  notably  able  men 
of  the  State.  He  is  active  in  political  movements,  and  a  member  of 
the  state,  county  and  precinct  Democratic  Clubs.  In  addition  to  the 
above,  he  has  also  important  business  interests,  being  president  of  two 
of  the  largest  corporations  of  the  state,  The  Southside  Electric  Light 
&  Gas  Company  and  The  Moeur-Pafford  Company,  a  ranching  and 
cattle  raising  corporation. 

If  the  happiest  man  is  he  "Who  can  carry  the  golden  thread  of 
boyish  enjoyment  farthest  through  the  web  of  life,"  Dr.  Moeur  may 
then  be  classed  among  the  happiest  by  reason  of  his  genial  personality. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  Elks,  Knights  of  Pythias  and  Odd  Fellows,  but 
withal  a  home  man.  He  was  married  in  1896  to  Miss  Honor  G. 
Anderson,  and  they  have  four  children,  John  K.,  Vyvyan  Bernice, 
Jessie  Belle  and  Ben.  B.,  Jr.

Henry  C.  White 


Miss  Harriet     T.  White 


HENRY  C.  WHITE,  principal  of  the  School  for  Deaf  Mutes  in  con- 
nection with  the  State  University,  at  Tucson,  is  a  native  of  Boston, 
and  lost  his  hearing  as  a  result  of  typhus  fever  when  four  years  of  age. 
He  was  educated  at  the  American  School  for  the  Deaf  at  Hartford, 
the  Horace  Mann  School  for  the  Deaf  in  Boston,  and  at  Gallaudet 
College  for  the  Deaf  in  Washington,  D.  C.,  having  been  graduated 
from  the  latter  in  1880  with  a  B.  A.  degree,  \vhich  was  awarded  under 
the  seal  and  authority  of  Congress  by  President  Rutherford  B.  Hayes, 
ex-officio  patron  of  the  college.  Mr.  White  early  took  to  reading  and 
covered  a  wride  field  of  fiction,  poetry  and  history,  and  though  unable 
to  sense  the  sound  of  rhyme,  has  a  keen  appreciation  of  the  beauty  of 
language  and  the  sentiment  of  poetry.  By  means  of  his  habit  of  read- 
ing only  the  best,  Mr.  White  has  acquired  a  thorough  mastery  of  Eng- 
lish, an  unusual  accomplishment  for  the  deaf.  After  his  graduation 
he  taught  in  a  school  for  the  deaf  at  Beverly,  Mass.,  where  he  remain- 
ed until  called  upon  to  organize  a  similar  school  at  Salt  Lake  City, 
which  he  built  from  the  ground  up,  and  which  today  ranks  as  one  of 
the  best  in  the  west.  After  eight  years  he  returned  to  Boston  to  set- 
tle his  father's  estate,  and  there  engaged  in  various  pursuits,  among 
them  that  of  editor.  He  was  frequently  consulted  by  the  deaf  of  New 
England  on  matters  of  law,  was  induced  to  take  up  the  study  of  law, 
and  after  three  years  work  compiled  and  published  "Law  Points  for 
Everybody,"  which  had  a  phenomenal  sale  in  New  England  and  New 
York.  He  frequently  acted  as  court  interpreter  for  mutes  and  has 
assisted  in  this  way  some  of  the  most  noted  attorneys  of  the  country.

321 


He  was  also  instrumental  in  establishing  the  New  England  Home  for 
Deaf  Mutes,  Aged,  Infirm  or  Blind,  of  which  his  wife  was  first 
matron.  Mr.  White  has  been  twice  elected  secretary  of  the  National 
Association  of  Deaf,  consisting  of  eighty  thousand  throughout  the 
United  States,  and  declined  a  third  term  in  this  capacity.  He  has 
done  newspaper  work  on  papers  devoted  to  the  interests  of  the  deaf, 
and  written  articles  upon  educational  matters  which  have  won  for  him 
a  national  reputation  as  one  of  the  best  teachers  of  English  in  the  pro- 
fession. Mr.  White  married  Miss  Mollie  E.  Mann,  who  was  deaf, 
but  not  dumb,  and  they  have  three  children,  two  girls  and  one  boy,  all 
normal  in  speech  and  hearing.  One  daughter  is  married  to  a  young 
lawyer  in  New  York,  while  the  other  one,  Miss  Harriet  White,  early 
engaged  in  the  profession  of  teaching,  and  is  at  present  employed 
with  her  father  in  the  school  at  Tucson  as  matron  and  teacher  of  lip 
reading.  This  school  is  entirely  the  result  of  Mr.  White's  personal 
efforts  extending  over  a  period  of  two  years.  When  he  decided  to 
come  to  the  far  west  to  establish  another  school  for  the  deaf  where  it 
seemed  most  urgently  needed,  he  chose  Arizona  as  his  field  of  en- 
deavor, and  brought  with  him  a  letter  from  Mayor  Fitzgerald  of 
Boston  to  Mayor  Christy  of  Phoenix,  and  others  from  a  member  of 
the  legislature,  the  Boston  School  Committee,  and  Secretary  of  the 
Y.  M.  C.  A.  After  Governor  Hunt  was  elected  he  received  a  per- 
sonal letter  from  Governor  Foss,  of  Massachusetts,  commending  Mr. 
White  to  his  good  offices.  \Vhen  his  unremitting  efforts  in  behalf  of 
those  afflicted  like  himself  were  crowned  with  success  and  a  state 
school  for  the  deaf  in  Arizona  became  a  reality,  Mr.  White  was 
chosen  its  principal.  This  school  is  situated  just  north  of  the  Univers- 
ity campus  and  has  seventeen  pupils  ranging  from  6  to  21  years  of 
age,  and  applications  for  admission  are  being  constantly  received.  The 
building,  formerly  a  private  residence,  will  soon  be  unable  to  accom- 
modate the  number  of  pupils  and  new  quarters  will,  therefore,  be  re- 
quired. Thus  far,  the  work  has  been  extremely  successful,  the  pupils 
being  ^deeply  interested  in  the  work,  pleased  with  their  home,  and  all 
like  Tucson  and  its  climate.  In  this  latest  act  in  a  life  devoted  almost 
entirely  to  the  uplifting  of  those  of  his  own  particular  class,  Mr. 
White  has  undoubtedly  accomplished  the  organization  of  a  school  that 
will  prove  a  boon  to  the  many  thus  afflicted  in  Arizona,  which  as  it 
increases  in  proportions  and  usefulness  will  surely  stand  a  monument 
to  his  ability,  persistence  and  great-heartedness. 


Miss  HARRIET  T.  WHITE,  matron  and  teacher  of  the  Arizona 
State  School  for  the  Deaf,  is  the  daughter  of  Henry  Cheney  White, 
the  principal.  Miss  White  was  born  in  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah,  of  parents 
who,  though  deaf,  were  highly  educated.  Her  mother,  Mary  Eliza- 
beth Mann  White,  was  a  native  of  Cincinnati,  where  the  family  were 
neighbors  and  friends  of  the  Taft  and  Longworth  families.  Though 


322 


WHO     S     WHO 


born  in  Utah,  Miss  White  has  spent  almost  her  entire  life  in  Boston, 
where  she  was  educated  in  the  best  schools,  and  was  graduated  from 
both  High  and  Normal  Schools.  At  an  early  age  she  entered  the 
profession  of  teaching,  in  which  she  proved  an  adept,  though  one  of 
the  youngest  in  the  profession.  As  an  oral  teacher  in  the 
Arizona  institution  she  taught  several  pupils  speech  and  lip 
reading  in  and  outside  of  the  school  room  with  remarkable 
success,  having  developed  the  dormant  power  of  speech  in  one 
girl  and  one  boy  each  possessing  good  hearing,  but  incapable  of  in- 
struction in  the  public  schools.  Miss  White  served  three  years  as 
teacher  and  assistant  principal  in  the  School  for  the  Deaf  at  St.  John, 
N.  B.,  where  she  demonstrated  such  proficiency  in  the  results  obtained 
that  she  was  offered  a  similar  position  in  the  Central  New  York  Insti- 
tute for  the  Deaf,  but  declined  it  to  come  west  to  assist  her  father  in 
the  organization  of  Arizona's  new  School  for  the  Deaf,  where  she  has 
served  in  the  double  capacity  of  matron  and  teacher  with  exceptional 
ability.  As  matron,  she  has  inaugurated  a  system  which  \vill  doubt- 
less continue  permanently  in  the  institution,  and  her  excellent  manage- 
ment and  wise  economy  have  attracted  the  attention  and  approval  of 
Dr.  Wilde,  President  of  the  University,  with  which  the  School  for 
the  Deaf  is  connected.  This  talent  of  efficiency,  especially  in  man- 
agement, comes  naturally  to  Miss  White,  for  her  mother  was  the 
first  matron  of  the  Utah  School  for  the  Deaf,  and  a  notable  house- 
keeper and  manager  in  domestic  affairs,  as  well  as  a  woman  of  liberal 
education. 

E^GAR  A.  BROWN,  secretary  of  the  Board  of  Education  of  the 
Northern  Arizona  Normal  School,  was  born  in  Covington,  Kentucky, 
August  31,  1873.  His  father,  W.  W.  Brown,  was  for  years  Vice 
President  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Cincinnati.  His  mother, 
Margaret  Cambron  Brown,  is  a  direct  descendant  of  Charles  Carroll 
of  Carrollton.  Mr.  Brown  received  his  early  education  in  his  home 
schools  and  later  attended  St.  Xavier  College,  Cincinnati,  from  which 
he  took  an  A.  B.  degree  in  1893.  For  the  next  six  years  he  was  con- 
nected with  the  Big  Four  and  Chesapeake  &  Ohio  railroads  at  Louis- 
ville and  Cincinnati  as  General  Cashier,  Chief  Rate  Clerk  and  Travel- 
ing Freight  and  Passenger  Agent.  He  came  west  in  1899,  located  in 
Flagstaff  and  has  since  been  a  resident  of  Coconino  County.  His  first 
business  association  in  Arizona  was  with  Babbitt  Brothers  and  for 
several  years  he  was  located  at  Tuba  and  Willow  Springs  in  charge 
of  their  trading  business  on  the  Hopi  and  Navajo  reservations.  He 
then  served  several  years  as  private  secretary  to  David  Babbitt.  In 
1909-1910  he  managed  the  Commercial  and  Weatherford  hotels  at 
Flagstaff,  and  later  assumed  charge  of  the  Bright  Angel  Hotel  at  the 
Grand  Canyon,  prior  to  the  erection  of  the  El  Tovar.  Here  he  re- 
mained until  1911,  when  he  became  owner  of  the  Flagstaff  Steam 
Laundry,  which  he  has  since  conducted.  Mr.  Brown  served  in  the 
Kentucky  State  Militia  in  every  capacity  from  private  to  captain,  and

Chairman  or  Secretary.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Elks  and  Knights  of 
Columbus,  and  during  the  past  year  has  been  Grand  Knight  of  De 
Silva  Council.  Mr.  Brown  was  married  October  28,  1904,  to  Miss 
Alice  Kumsden,  at  the  Grand  Canyon. 

GEORGE  BABBITT,  member  of  the  Board  of  Education  of  the 
Northern  Arizona  Normal  School,  is  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Babbitt

worker  in  the  general  cause  of  education  in  the  state  and  his  efforts  in 
behalf  of  the  advancement  of  the  Normal  School  have  been  productive 
of  excellent  results.

men  of  the  State.  Mrs.  Mar- 
shall is  a  native  of  Madison 
County,  N.  Y.,  a  daughter  of 
Jacob  and  Adelia  Fairbairne 
Schuyler,  and  a  direct  descend- 
ant of  General  Schuyler.  Her 
education  was  received  at  the 
Yates  Polytechnic  School  and 
Cortland  Academy,  both  in  her 
native  State.  She  has  been  a 
resident  of  Arizona  since  De- 
cember, 1882,  and  was  the  first 
teacher  in  the  northern  part  of 
the  State,  having  taught  near 
where  the  Normal  now  stands 
in  a  little  log  school  house. 
She  has  also  been  for  years  an 
active  member  of  the  W.  C.  T. 
U.,  and  especially  interested  in 
the  betterment  of  civic  condi- 
tions. She  is  generally  recog- 
nized as  one  of  the  most  public 
spirited  women  in  the  State,  and 
it  was  she  who  held  the  first 
temperance  meeting  in  the 
northern  part  of  the  State, 

managed  the  first  Fourth  of  July  celebration  in  that  section,  and 
assisted  in  organizing  the  first  Literary  Society.

C).  N.  CRESWELL,  State  Inspector  of  Weights  and  Measures,  and 
the  first  incumbent  in  this  office,  that  has  been  created  since  the  com- 
ing of  Statehood,  was  born  near  Knoxville,  Term.,  on  November  29th, 
1852.  His  father  William  A.  Creswell,  and  his  mother,  who  was 

formerly  Miss  Phoebe  A.  Bick- 
nell,  were  both  natives  of  Ten- 
nessee. The  family  moved  to 
Texas  in  1859,  and  it  was  there 
that  Mr.  Creswell  was  reared 
and  received  his  education.  His 
early  life  was  spent  on  a  farm 
which  he  left  at  his  majority  to 
take  up  other  pursuits,  his  first 
venture  being  a  political  posi- 
tion in  the  capacity  of  Deputy 
Sheriff  in  Belton,  Texas,  which 
position  he  held  for  five  years. 
He  then  removed  to  Albany, 
Texas,  and  engaged  in  the  mer- 
cantile business,  remaining  there 
until  April,  1885.  At  that  time 
he  disposed  of  his  business  and 
removed  to  Arizona,  arriving  at 
Payson,  Arizona,  about  June, 
1885,  where  he  again  engaged 
in  the  mercantile  business.  Mr. 
Creswell  sold  his  business  at 
Payson,  and  in  December,  1890,  moved  to  Globe  to  accept  the  posi- 
tion of  Under  Sheriff  of  Gila  County,  which  position  he  held  for  six 
years,  and  afterwards  for  two  years  he  served  as  Clerk  of  the  District 
Court  of  Gila  County.  Both  of  these  positions  he  filled  in  a  very 
creditable  manner,  receiving  many  commendations  for  the  way  he 
conducted  both  of  these  offices.  In  1900  he  again  turned  his  attention 
to  the  mercantile  business,  and  for  ten  years  following  was  manager 
of  Alexander  Bros',  store  at  Ft.  Thomas,  and  later  manager  of  Morris 
Simon's  store  at  Bowie,  until  his  appointment  on  June  3,  1912,  by 
Governor  Geo.  W.  P.  Hunt  to  his  present  position.  Mr.  Creswell 
has  always  been  a  true  Democrat,  and  also  an  active  party  worker, 
being  particularly  prominent  °in  the  political  affairs  of  Gila  County 
for  a  number  of  years.  For  eighteen  years  or  more  he  has  been  a 
close  personal  and  business  friend  of  Governor  Hunt.  The  record 
Mr.  Creswell  made  for  law  enforcement  in  his  positions  in  the 
Sheriff's  office  and  the  success  he  has  made  as  a  practical  business  man 
assures  great  success  in  the  administration  of  the  new  department  of 
Weights  and  Measures.  Mrs.  Creswell  was  formerly  Miss  Cath- 
arine J.  Blair,  a  native  of  Iowa.

WHO     S      W  H  O 


W.  H.  PLUNKETT,  State  Examiner,  has  resided  in  Arizona  for  the 
past  three  years.  He  is  a  native  of  Missouri,  and  was  educated  at 
Westminster  College  in  that  State.  Having  taken  up  accounting  as 
a  profession,  Mr.  Plunkett  has  followed  this  line  of  work  for  fifteen 

years,  and  from  hard 
study,  close  application, 
and  vast  experience  in 
all  the  various  classes  of 
industrial,  corporate  and 
municipal  enterprises  and 
public  utilities  has  be- 
come very  proficient. 
Since  coming  to  Phoenix 
Mr.  Plunkett  formed  a 
partnership  with  C.  P. 
Lee  in  the  practice  of 
public  accounting,  and 
the  firm  operates  under 
the  name  of  Lee  & 
Plunkett.  By  rendering 
good  and  efficient  service 
to  their  clients  these  gen- 
tlemen have  acquired  a 
large  practice  and  their 
offices  are  perhaps  the 
best  equipped  in  the  west 
for  handling  accounting, 
auditing,  office  organiza- 
tion and  systematizing 
and  installing  accounting 
systems.  Upon  the  con- 
vening of  the  first  State 
Legislature,  Governor 

Hunt  appointed  Mr.  Plunkett  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Special  Ex- 
aminers, whose  duty  it  was  to  examine  and  report  to  him  the  general 
condition  of  the  various  inst'tutions,  offices  and  commissions  of  the 
State.  By  joint  resolution  of  the  Legislature,  Mr.  Plunkett  was  em- 
picyed  to  install  an  accounting  system  in  each  of  the  State  institutions. 
Upon  the  creation  of  the  office  of  State  Examiner,  Governor  Hunt 
appointed  him  to  the  position,  which  was  unanimously  confirmed  by 
the  Senate.  This  act  became  effective  September  20th,  and  provides 
for  an  uniform  system  of  accounting  in  all  county  offices,  and  judging 
from  Mr.  Plunkett's  experience  in  governmental  and  municipal  af- 
fairs, it  seems  safe  to  predict  that  he  will  install  a  system  which  will 
prove  efficient,  eliminating  the  unnecessary  duplication  of  work  and 
ma!-ing  the  necessary  work  simple  in  operation.

The  Arizona  Tax  Commission 

THE  TAX  COMMISSION,  is  to  the  raising  of  revenue  what 
the  Corporation  Commission  is  to  the  matter  of  regulating  corpora- 
tions, and  the  creation  of  this  Commission  places  Arizona  greatly  in 
advance  of  many  of  the  older  and  more  completely  organized  States. 
Here  there  will  be  throughout  the  State  a  practically  uniform  system 
or  levying  and  collecting  taxes  systematized  and  placed  upon  a  busi- 
ness-like foundation.  So  powerful  is  this  body  that  it  can  subpoena 
witnesses  and  punish  for  failure  to  answer  the  process;  it  can  hail 
county  assessors  before  it  and  punish  them  for  any  infraction  of  the 
orders  of  the  Commission ;  it  can  put  aside  the  rulings  of  the  County 
Boards  of  Equalization  and  substitute  others  in  their  places;  and  it 
can  direct  the  Attorney  General  or  County  Attorneys  to  institute  suit 
for  the  collection  of  back  taxes  or  unpaid  penalties.  All  the  forms 
and  blanks  used  by  the  individual  assessors  and  collectors  are  pre- 
scribed by  the  Tax  Commission.  Great  as  are  the  powers  accorded 
this  body,  the  work  laid  out  for  it  will  equal,  if  not  exceed,  the  metes 
of  its  powers,  as  every  incorporated  town  and  city  in  the  State  must 
be  visited  by  the  members  of  the  Commission,  in  order  that  a  compre- 
hensive knowledge  of  tax  values  throughout  the  State  may  be  ac- 
qi'ired.  In  addition  to  which,  the  Commission  is  charged  to  investi- 
gate all  complaints  of  unjust  taxation  and  to  determine  to  what  ex- 
tent thp  complaint  is  founded  on  fact.  The  law  provides  that  all 
assessors  shall  furnish  annually  to  the  Commission  the  tax  rolls  of 
their  respective  counties,  as  a  basis  for  their  work.  Before  the  filing 
OT  their  preliminary  report,  the  compiling  of  which  will  be  a  monu- 
mental task,  two  years  are  allowed  to  elapse,  and  a  biennial  report 
will  be  required  thereafter  with  recommendations  of  changes  which 
seem  necessary  to  the  best  interests  of  the  State.  The  task  of  naming 
the  men  who  would  compose  the  Commission  was  Governor  Hunt's, 
and  since  it  necessitated  the  selection  of  three  men  exceptionally  well 
informed  on  the  subject  of  taxation  and  state  affairs  in  general,  it 
proved  no  easy  one  to  him,  but  his  selection  has  met  with  general  ap- 
proval. A  little  information  of  general  interest  regarding  each  of  the 
Commissioners  follows : 


C.  M.  ZANDER  was  chairman  of  the  Tax  Commission  in  May, 
1912,  and  is  chairman  for  the  years  1913  and  1914.  He  is  a  native  of 
Wisconsin,  having  been  born  in  Milwaukee  in  1875.  His  grammar 
school  education  was  obtained  in  Minneapolis,  Cairo  and  Bay  City, 
Michigan,  and  in  Eastman,  Wisconsin.  He  finished  his  schooling  at 
the  Omaha  High  School,  where  he  maintained  himself  by  owning  and 
carrying  circulation  routes  on  the  Omaha  World  Herald  at  the  time 
W.  J.  Bryan  was  editorial  writer  for  it.  He  cast  his  first  vote  for 


328  VV  H  O  '  S      W  H  O 

Bryan  in  1895  before  coming  to  Arizona,  and  firmly  believes  he  will 
yet  cast  another  and  winning  vote  for  his  first  choice.  In  December, 
1896,  Mr.  Zander  came  to  Phoenix.  Almost  upon  his  arrival  he 
formed  a  lasting  friendship  with  the  present  Governor,  Geo.  W.  P. 
Hunt,  then  member  of  the  Territorial  Legislature,  from  Gila  County. 
For  four  years  he  had  control  of  the  circulation  of  the  Arizona  Re- 
publican. In  1901  he  became  the  first  probate  clerk  of  Maricopa 
County,  and  upon  the  expiration  of  his  term  in  that  office  he  removed 
to  Buckeye,  where  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  development  of  that 
section.  For  four  years,  as  secretary-treasurer  and  general  manager 
of  the  White  Tank  Canal  Company,  he  was  forced  to  bear  the  brunt 
of  one  of  the  bitterest  water  wars  ever  \vaged  in  Arizona.  The  suc- 
cessful outcome  of  that  issue  has  brought  Mr.  Zander  much  deserved 
commendation  from  the  farmers  of  that  section  and  the  business  men 
of  Phoenix.  For  several  years  he  was  deputy  assessor  of  Maricopa 
County,  in  which  capacity  he  made  the  best  possible  use  of  the  oppor- 
tunities afforded  him  to  study  land  values  and  methods  of  taxation. 
He  met  with  much  opposition  in  his  fight  for  fairness  in  taxation  and 
that  experience  wrill  prove  a  valuable  aid  in  making  decisions  as  mem- 
ber of  the  Tax  Commission.  Mr.  Zander  has  for  some  time  been 
associated  with  the  Valley  Realty  and  Trust  Company,  which  connec- 
tion he  severed  to  become  Tax  Commissioner.  In  1901  he  was  mar- 
ried to  Miss  Clara  Miller,  daughter  of  the  late  Winchester  Miller, 
one  of  the  noted  pioneers  of  Tempe.  After  a  happy  married  life  of 
six  years,  Mrs.  Zander  died  suddenly,  leaving  her  husband  and  two 
small  children  to  mourn  her  loss.  Mr.  Zander  is  of  German  extrac- 
tion, but  like  all  typical  Americans,  the  blood  of  many  nationalities 
runs  through  his  veins — Dutch,  German,  French,  English,  Irish  and 
Scotch.  He  believes  in  standard  breds  rather  than  thorough  breds. 
He  comes  from  fighting  stock  too,  his  family  has  been  fully  represented 
in  every  war  of  the  Republic  since  its  foundation  and  in  the  French 
and  Indian  wars  of  the  Colonies.  Likewise,  his  is  a  race  of  insurg- 
ents, as  his  people  engaged  in  conflict  against  the  English  in  1776  and 
the  South  in  1861.  In  1896  he  thought  it  time  for  the  North  to  get 
a  licking  so  he  became  a  radical  Democrat,  thereby  perpetuating  the 
traditions  of  his  race.  Ever  since,  he  has  been  a  strenuous  advocate  of 
the  rule  of  the  people.  In  religion,  Mr.  Zander  has  very  strong  con- 
victions, yet  he  holds  to  breadth  and  tolerance,  and  is  more  interested 
in  the  principles  that  underlie  the  different  sects  of  the  Christian  faith 
than  in  the  minor  differences  that  separate  them.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Grand  Lodge  Order  Knights  of  Pythias.  Commissioner  Zander 
is  well  esteemed  for  his  sterling  worth  and  his  many  friends  prophesy 
a  period  of  great  usefulness  as  a  member  of  this  powerful  body.

a  native  of  Wisconsin,  and  was  born  at  Darlington,  May  8,  1871.  At 
the  age  of  twelve  he  moved  with  his  parents  to  South  Dakota,  where 
they  encountered  many  of  the  hardships  incidental  to  life  in  a  new 
country.  Here  they  remained  eight  years,  when  they  moved  to  South- 
ern California.  In  Los  Angeles  Mr.  Howe  attended  the  Los  Angeles 
Business  College,  and  was  graduated  from  three  departments  with 
honor,  being  the  only  one  out  of  a  class  of  200  who  received  diplomas 
from  two  departments  in  the  same  year.  Here  also  he  met  Miss 
Maude  L.  Henderson,  now  Mrs.  Howe,  who  was  a  classmate 
of  his.  For  four  years  Mr.  Howe  held  position  as  Assistant 
Secretary  of  the  Merchants  &  Manufacturers'  Association  of  Los 
Angeles,  which  he  resigned  in  1901  to  come  to  Arizona.  He  settled  in 
Cochise  County,  which  is  still  his  home,  and  took  a  position  with  one 
of  the  large  mining  companies.  He  soon  became  interested  in  politics 
and  in  1905  was  made  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Cochise. 
Two  years  later,  when  made  assessor,  he  found  the  county  with  an 
assessed  valuation  of  less  than  $10,000,000,  and  an  abnormally  high 
rate  of  taxation,  and  during  the  first  year  of  his  administration  the 
assessed  valuation  was  more  than  doubled,  the  rate  lowered,  and  the 
income  increased.  It  was  about  that  time  that  Mr.  Howe  began 
making  a  profound  study  of  the  tax  matter  and  acquired  knowledge 
that  proved  very  valuable  and  was  largely  used  in  the  drafting  of  the 
bill  creating  the  Tax  Commission,  and  which  will  undoubtedly  be  of 
inestimable  worth  in  determining  matters  that  come  before  the  Com- 
mission. Mr.  Howe  has  also  served  as  Secretary  pro  tern,  of  the  Fair 
Commission  and  later  of  the  Cattle  Sanitary  Board,  which  he  re- 
signed to  devote  his  entire  attention  to  his  duties  as  Tax  Commissioner. 
He  is  well  known  and  exceedingly  popular,  and  belongs  to  the  Elks, 
Knights  of  Pythias  and  Fraternal  Brotherhood. 


P.  J.  MILLER,  member  Tax  Commission — During  the  hardships 
through  which  the  country  went  during  the  great  civil  war,  to  be 
correct,  on  June  24,  1863,  P.  J.  Miller,  the  third  member  of  the 
Arizona  State  Tax  Commission,  was  born  on  his  father's  farm  near 
the  little  town  of  Durhamville,  in  Oneida  County,  in  the  Empire 
State  of  New  York.  Two  years  after  his  birth  the  father  died,  the 
farm  was  sold  and  the  family  moved  to  Buffalo,  where  he  attended 
the  grammar  and  high  schools  and  laid  the  foundation  for  the  vast 
amount  of  practicable  information  he  now  has  at  his  command.  Mr. 
Miller  went  to  Chicago  at  the  age  of  17,  but  in  less  than  two  years 
thereafter,  the  call  of  the  West  being  strong  within  him,  he  started 
for  Prescott,  Arizona,  where  he  arrived  in  the  fall  of  1883.  He  has 
been  a  resident  of  Arizona  practically  ever  since.  His  first 
employment  was  secured  with  Superintendent  Craig  of  the  Do- 
soris  silver  mine  and  his  job  was  ore  sorting.  When  the  mine 
shut  down  the  young  man  took  a  job  as  storekeeper  at  Fort  Whipple, 


IN      ARIZONA  331 

using  there  to  good  advantage  his  knowledge  of  the  general  merchan- 
dise business  gained  in  Buffalo  and  Chicago  after  leaving  school.  In 
those  stirring  days  at  Fort  Whipple  promotion  came  to  him  early  and 
he  was  successively  forage  master,  corral  master  and  finally  acting 
superintendent  of  the  depot,  with  thousands  of  dollars  worth  of 
stores  in  his  charge.  This  was  during  the  Crook  and  Miles  cam- 
paigns against  Chief  Geronimo  and  his  Apaches.  After  leaving  the 
service  of  the  quartermaster's  department  of  the  army  he  went  to 
New  York  and  was  employed  as  a  salesman  for  a  short  time.  In 
1896  he  was  happily  married  to  Miss  Alice  M.  Waldby,  of  Little 
Falls,  N.  Y.,  but  the  lure  of  the  West  was  again  upon  him  and  in 
the  fall  of  1900  he  settled  on  a  homestead  near  the  town  of  Yuma,  in 
the  fertile  Yuma  valley.  In  his  agricultural  activities  he  soon  became 
a  leading  member  of  his  community  and  assisted  in  building  the 
farmers'  canals  in  that  valley  and  ran  the  first  water  there  for  the 
farmers.  Shortly  after  this  he  assisted  in  the  organization  of  the  Yuma 
County  Water  Users'  Association  and  became  its  secretary,  and  as  such 
was  an  important  factor  in  bringing  the  reclamation  service  to  a  thor- 
ough knowledge  of  the  needs  and  great  possibilities  of  the  valley  so 
that  a  government  project  was  instituted  there.  He  remained  secretary 
of  the  Water  Users'  Association  until  1909,  but  in  the  meantime  he 
became  interested  in  politics  and  was  elected  councilman  of  the  town 
of  Yuma  in  1906,  and  helped  pass  the  first  ordinance  compelling  the 
laying  of  cement  sidewalks,  street  improvements  and  sewers  in  the 
thriving  southern  city.  Soon  after  this  he  was  appointed  clerk  of  the 
Board  of  Supervisors  of  Yuma  County,  in  recognition  of  his  services 
to  the  Democratic  party  in  the  election  of  1908  and  held  that  position 
until  his  appointment  to  the  Tax  Commission  by  Governor  Hunt. 
All  his  life  Mr.  Miller  has  been  consistently  a  progressive  man,  affili- 
ating with  the  Democratic  party.  He  is  a  strong  supporter  of  Gover- 
nor Hunt's  policy  of  running  the  business  affairs  of  the  State  in  a 
businesslike  way.  A  man  of  varied  experience  and  broad  knowledge, 
with  an  acquaintance  of  land  values  in  Arizona  probably  not  equaled 
by  any  member  of  the  commission  of  which  he  is  a  part,  Mr.  Miller  is 
a  material  addition  to  the  strong  personnel  of  the  Commission. 


W.  T.  WEBB,  one  of  the  first  Presidential  Electors  from  Arizona,  is 
the  son  of  Gilbert  and  Almira  Taft  Webb,  of  Salt  Lake  City,  where 
he  was  born  in  1865,  and  educated  in  the  public  schools  and  Univers- 
ity. He  first  came  to  Arizona  in  January,  1881,  and  located  at  Tomb- 
stone, where  he  remained  about  one  year,  and  moving  from  there  to 
Graham  County,  became  associated  with  his  father  in  business.  In 
1887  this  business  was  disposed  of  and  he  turned  his  attention  to  stock 
business,  in  which  he  was  engaged  for  four  years,  when  he  returned  to 
commercial  life,  this  time  as  an  independent  venture  and  on  a  small 
scale,  but  from  the  first  his  methods  were  such  as  to  commend  him  to

the  public,  and  his  business  has  gradually  increased  until  he  is  now 
considered  one  of  the  leading  business  men  of  the  state.  He  is  presi- 
dent of  the  Webb-Merrill  Commercial  Company  of  Pima,  director  of 
the  Bank  of  Safford,  owrner  of  the  Seventy-Six  cattle  ranch  in  the 
Graham  Mountains,  and  interested  in  various  other  enterprises  in  that 
section.  Mr.  Webb  has  long  taken  a  prominent  part  in  the  political 
life  of  Arizona,  is  one  of  the  local  leaders  of  the  Democratic  party,  and 
it  is  fitting  that  he  should  have  had  the  honor  of  casting  for  the  people 
of  the  state  one  of  their  first  votes  for  President  of  the  United  States. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  Twenty-Second  Legislature,  receiving  all 
the  votes  but  two  in  the  Pima  precinct ;  was  re-elected  to  the  Twenty- 
Third  Legislature,  and  was  the  only  man  in  that  body  who  was  elected 
to  succeed  himself.  In  all  he  has  represented  Graham  County  three 
times  in  the  Legislature,  and  wras  Speaker  of  the  House  in  the  Twenty- 
Third  Legislature.  He  has  also  served  two  terms  as  Mayor  of  Pima 
with  excellent  results  to  the  city.  As  a  member  of  the  Constitutional 
Convention  he  was  known  as  a  progressive,  when  in  connection  with 
the  ablest  men  of  that  assembly,  he  took  a  leading  part  in  the  compila-

tion  of  the  Constitution.  During  the  state  campaign  he  was  identified 
with  the  progressive  Democracy.  Mr.  Webb  was  married  in  1887  to 
Miss  Sarah  Burns,  daughter  of  Enoch  and  Elizabeth  Burns,  of  Pima. 


WILEY  E.  JONES,  attorney  at  law,  a  native  of  Sangamon  County, 
Illinois,  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona  for  twenty  years,  and  is  one  of 
the  most  widely  known  men  in  the  entire  state.  He  is  the  son  of 
Joshua  W.  and  Polly  A.  Wills  Jones,  both  of  whom  are  natives  of 

Kentucky  and  were  born  in 
the  same  county  as  Abraham 
Lincoln.  Mr.  Jones  received 
his  education  in  Illinois  and 
studied  law  for  four  years 
with  General  John  M.  Palm- 
er. He  was  admitted  to  prac- 
tice with  high  honors  by  the 
Supreme  Court  of  the  State  of 
Illinois,  where  he  followed  his 
profession  for  some  years.  For 
two  terms  he  represented  his 
native  county  in  the  Legisla- 
ture, and  in  1889  was  the 
Democratic  nominee  for 
Speaker  of  the"  House.  Dur- 
ing the  same  session  he  made 
the  speech  placing  in  nomina- 
tion General  Palmer  for  U.  S. 
Senator.  For  ten  years  Mr. 
Jones  was  District  Attorney 

of  Graham  County.     In   1898 

he  was  appointed  1st  Lieuten- 
ant in  Company  A,  of  the  Rough  Riders,  but  his  duties  as  District 
Attorney  compelled  him  to  temporarily  decline  the  appointment. 
Shortly  after,  however,  upon  the  adjournment  of  the  Graham  County 
Court,  he  enlisted  as  1st  Lieutenant  of  the  1st  Territorial  Volunteer 
Infantry,  served  for  seven  and  one-half  months,  and  was  mustered  out 
at  Albany,  Ga.  Although  Mr.  Jones  has  had  no  collegiate  education, 
and  beyond  a  brief  term  in  the  high  school  at  Springfield,  111.,  his 
knowledge  has  come  from  his  own  struggle  on  the  Illinois  farm  and 
the  district  school,  he  is  widely  known  in  this  state  as  one  of  the  lead- 
ing campaigners  on  the  stump.  He  is  a  Past  Sachem  of  the  Improved 
Order  of  Red  Men  of  Arizona  jurisdiction  and  for  four  years  served 
as  Great  Representative  to  the  Great  Council  of  the  United  States.  He 
has  long  been  a  member  of  the  I.  O.  O.  F.  and  Knights  of  Pythias. 
At  the  recent  election  he  was  elected  by  a  large  majority,  one  of 
Arizona's  three  Presidential  Electors  on  the  Democratic  ticket.

The  Arizona  Land  Commission 

(By  Mulford  Winsor,  Chairman  Land  Commission) 

By  the  terms  of  the  Enabling;  Act,  under  which  Arizona  was  admit- 
ted to  the  Union,  the  new  state  has  the  right  to  select  from  the  unap- 
propriated, non-mineral  public  lands,  for  the  benefit  of  her  various 
institutions,  two  million  three  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  acres,  in 
addition  to  which  four  sections  in  each  township — 2,  16,  32  and  36 — 
are  set  aside  for  the  benefit  of  the  public  schools.  Since  the  area  of 
the  state  is  1 13,000  square  miles,  it  may  be  seen  that  the  public  schools 
of  Arizona  will  receive  the  benefit  of  about  eight  million  acres  of 
land,  while  the  total  acreage  of  state  lands  for  all  purposes  is  brought 
to  nearly  ten  and  a  half  millions.  Is  it  strange  that  the  state  should 
look  well  to  the  conservation  of  this  princely  inheritance? 

These  lands  are  valuable  for  many  purposes — timber,  grazing,  agri- 
culture, etc. — but  chief  among  them  is  agriculture.  Immense  as  is 
Arizona's  mineral  wealth,  and  much  greater  as  it  will  grow,  it  is  des- 
tined that  the  state's  fame,  in  years  to  come,  will  be  based  upon  its 
extensive  and  varied  agriculture.  The  valleys  and  mesas  of  this  great 
inland  empire,  marked  by  every  degree  of  climate  from  temperate  to 
tropical,  are  rich  beyond  compare,  lacking  only  water  to  make  them 
add  to  the  world's  production  of  food  stuffs.  And  there  are  many 
ways  of  developing  water — by  means  of  storage  reservoirs,  for  the  im- 
pounding of  the  floods  which  annually  wash  the  mountain  sides  and 
fill  the  intervening  canyons;  by  means  of  dams  to  divert  the  streams  of 
the  valleys  from  their  channels ;  by  means  of  artesian  wells,  and  in 
other  ways.  Only  a  few  of  the  opportunities  afforded  by  nature  for 
the  watering  of  Arizona's  hitherto  waste  places  have  as  yet  been 
taken  advantage  of,  therefore  a  very  small  percentage  of  the  land  has 
been  cultivated. 

It  is  now  the  state's  business,  having  accepted  these  millions  of 
acres,  to  select  them.  Then  it  is  the  state's  business  to  so  administer 
this  great  wealth  as  to  bring  the  greatest  good  to  the  greatest  number. 

It  is  in  this  spirit  that  the  new  state  has  approached  the  subject.  In 
the  absence  of  definite  information  as  to  the  lands  to  be  selected,  or  of 
the  uses  to  which  they  and  the  school  sections  may  be  put,  the  first 
state  legislature  deemed  it  wise  to  postpone  the  establishment  of  a 
definite  and  permanent  plan  for  their  handling,  control  and  disposi- 
tion, and  to  appoint  a  State  Land  Commission,  of  three  members, 
whose  duty  it  is  to  make  personal  examination  of  the  public  lands  of 
the  state,  select  the  most  valuable  in  satisfaction  of  the  grants  for 
institutions,  investigate  the  school  sections,  and  secure  all  information 
concerning  their  desirability  and  adaptability,  and  to  make  report  to

336 


WHO      S      WHO 


the  governor  and  legislature,  setting  forth  a  complete  and  detailed 
plan  of  handling  all  of  these  lands.  The  commission  consists  of 
Mulford  Winsor  of  Yuma,  chairman  ;  Cy  Byrne  of  Pinedale,  a  practi- 
cal forester,  and  William  A.  Moody  of  Thatcher,  a  man  of  wide 
experience  in  land  matters.  The  chief  clerk  of  the  board  is  E.  J. 
Trippel,  wrho  was  for  a  number  of  years  registrar  of  the  United  States 
Land  Office  for  Arizona.  .  The  commission  has  a  full  realization  of 
its  great  responsibility,  and  hopes  to  discharge  it  in  creditable  manner. 
The  Arizona  Land  Commission  is  not  only  gathering,  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  legislature,  even'  sort  of  information  that  can  be  of  any  value 
—and  there  is  a  world  of  it — but  is  building  the  foundation  of  what 
it  is  thought  will  be  the  greatest,  most  comprehensive  and  most  per- 
fectly systematized  State  Land  Office  in  the  Union.  When  the  exami- 
nation now  being  made  of  school  lands  is  complete,  and  the  institu- 
tional grant  lands  shall  have  been  selected,  the  land  office  records  will 
show,  in  the  most  intelligible  and  comprehensive  form,  all  that  any- 
one could  possibly  wish  to  know  about  any  sub-division  thereof. 
Whether  the  lands  are  to  be  sold  or  leased,  or  both,  there  need  be  no 
guesswork.  What  each  tract  is  good  for,  what  it  contains  and  what 
it  is  worth,  can  be  told,  and  reliably,  at  a  glance.  Nor  is  this  all. 
The  Land  Commission  considers  state-building  to  be  its  chief  duty, 
and  is  therefore  gathering  information  which  will  enable  it  to  make 
accurate  and  intelligent  reply  to  the  thousands  of  queries  that  will 
doubtless  come  to  it  from  all  quarters,  whether  such  inquiries  relate 
to  state  lands,  government  lands,  or  lands  in  private  ownership,  or  to 
general  or  local  conditions.  There  will  be  accurate  data  regarding 
irrigation  enterprises — completed,  undertaken  or  projected — and  irri- 
gation possibilities;  regarding  the  industries  in  which  Arizona  is  con- 
cerned, and  the  adaptability  of  the  different  sections  to  their  develop- 
ment;  regarding  everything  of  value  to  the  prospective  homeseeker, 
investor  or  business  man.  In  short,  the  Land  Commission  proposes  to 
know  all  there  is  to  know  about  Arizona,  to  record  the  facts  in  get-at- 
able  form,  and  to  use  them  to  the  state's  best  advantage.  It  is  a  great 
and  inspiring  work,  which  has  been  entered  upon  with  enthusiasm, 
and  is  being  carried  forward  vigorously  and  optimistically. 


MULFORD  WINSOR,  chairman  of  the  State  Land  Commission,  was 
born  in  Jewell  City,  Kansas,  May  31,  1874.  His  father  was 
editor  of  the  Jewell  City  Republican,  and  when  but  seven  years 
old,  he  began  to  get  an  insight  into  the  work  of  a  newspaper  office, 
and  much  of  his  education  was  obtained  in  this  way.  In  1885  the 
family  moved  to  Fort  Smith,  Arkansas,  where  he  worked  at  the 
printing  trade  and  attended  high  school  while  serving  as  journeyman 
printer.  With  politics  as  with  newspaper  work,  he  early  acquired  a 
thorough  knowledge  of  the  subject,  and  since  his  coming  to  Arizona 
he  has  been  a  remarkable  influence  in  the  Democratic  party,  an  in- 


IN      ARIZONA 


337 


flue  nee  distinguished  by  his  consistent  advocacy  of  progressive  prin- 
ciples. He  came  to  Prescott  in  1892,  where  he  remained  two 
years,  and  then  removed  to  Yuma.  In  journalism  he  is  a  leader  in 
the  state,  and  a  writer  of  exceptional  ability,  being  both  fluent  and 
accurate.  Mr.  Winsor  was  the  first  historian  of  Arizona,  and  his 
work  in  this  particular  is  widely  known.  In  1896  he  established  The 
\  uma  Sun,  and  he  has  also  owned  and  edited  The  Tucson  Citizen, 
Phoenix  Enterprise,  and  Daily  Globe,  of  Globe.  As  editor  of  the 
latter  paper  he  wrote  the  first  editorials  appearing  in  the  state  advo- 
cating the  Initiative,  Referendum  and  Recall,  and  calling  upon  the 
Democratic  party  to  champion  the  cause  of  popular  government  in 
connection  with  the  work  of  framing  Arizona's  constitution.  He  was 
selected  in  Yuma  county  as  delegate  to  the  Constitutional  Conven- 
tion, and  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Legislative  Departments, 
which  had  charge  of  the  Initiative  and  Referendum  Article  of  the 
Constitution.  Mr.  Winsor  was  secretary  to  Governor  Hunt  until  his 
appointment  as  member  of  the  Land  Commission.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Yuma  Lodge  of  Elks,  and  has  served  as  District  Deputy  Grand 
Exalted  Ruler,  the  highest  honor  to  be  conferred  by  this  order  in  the 
state. 


WILLIAM  A.  MOODY,  member  of  the  State  Land  Commission,  is 
a  native  of  Nevada,  and  son  of  William  C.  and  Cynthia  Damron 
Moody,  pioneers  of  that  State.  He  was  born  June  28,  1870.  In 
1886  he  came  to  Arizona,  and  for  one  year  studied  in  the  Latter  Day 
Saints'  Academy  at  Thatcher.  He  was  married  June  4,  1894,  to 
Ella  Adelia  Williams  at  Thatcher.  Shortly  afterward  they  went  to 
the  South  Sea  Islands  and  he  spent  almost  four  years  there  as  mission- 
ary in  Samoa  without  mercenary  compensation,  during  which  time 
he  learned  to  read  and  write  the  language  of  the  natives,  and  for  two 
years  at  his  own  expense  taught  a  free  school.  Here  Mrs.  Moody 
died  in  1895,  leaving  one  daughter,  Hazel,  who  was  born  in  Samoa, 
May  3,  1895.  Before  she  was  a  year  old,  Mr.  Moody  sent  her  in 
care  of  returning  missionaries  to  Arizona,  a  distance  of  about  seven 
thousand  miles.  On  May  17,  1899,  he  was  again  united  in  marriage, 
to  Sarah  E.  Blake,  and  of  this  union  there  are  six  children,  viz :  Ruth, 
Adelia,  Flora,  Mabel,  Rupert  and  Alton.  Mr.  Moody  says  he  wills 
that  human  beings  shall  be,  and  that  they  shall  be  happy.  In  1898 
he  was  appointed  to  fill  a  vacancy  caused  by  the  death  of  Judge  Dam- 
ron in  the  office  of  Probate  Judge  and  ex-Officio  County  School  Super- 
intendent, and  was  twice  elected  to  succeed  himself.  At  the  end  of 
the  year  1902  these  offices  were  separated,  and  Mr.  Moody  was  twice 
elected  to  the  office  of  County  Superintendent.  In  August,  1900,  he 
conducted  the  first  summer  school  held  for  teachers  in  Graham 
County,  and  possibly  in  the  Territory.  Aside  from  his  political  ac- 
tivities he  is  prominently  identified  with  the  commercial  life  of  the 


338  WHO'S     WHO 

state.  He  was  one  of  the  organizers,  and  is  now  general  manager  of  the 
Mt.  Graham  Lumber  Company,  which  built  the  first  and  only  lum- 
ber flume  in  the  state.  It  is  seven  miles  long  and  conveys  the  lumber 
from  the  top  to  the  base  of  Mt.  Graham,  and  is  one  of  the  most 
important  industries  of  the  Gila  Valley.  He  is  also  President  of  the 
Thatcher  Implement  and  Mercantile  Company,  a  stockholder  in  the 
Bank  of  Safford,  and  owns  a  farm  of  280  acres,  as  well  as  other  val- 
uable property  in  the  state.  Mr.  Moody  has  been  for  the  most  part 
educated  by  self  effort,  and  for  years  has  followed  a  regularly  defined 
course  of  study.  Active  in  church  affairs  all  his  life,  he  has  been 
steadily  promoted  from  minor  positions  in  the  Church  to  that  of  Stake 
Superintendent  of  The  Young  Men's  Mutual  Improvement  Associa- 
tion of  the  Thatcher  Ward,  and  under  his  leadership,  the  people  of 
Thatcher  have  built,  by  popular  subscription,  one  of  the  most  mag- 
nificent churches  in  the  state.  Responding  to  a  call  from  the  First 
Presidency  of  the  Church,  again  Mr.  Moody  took  his  departure  for 
the  South  Sea  Islands,  this  time  to  preside  over  the  Samoan  Mission, 
including  the  Friendly  Islands,  where  his  duties  necessitated  a  great 
deal  of  traveling,  the  two  missions  aggregating  over  forty  thousand 
miles,  the  expenses  of  this  traveling  being  chiefly  met  by  himself. 
Here  he  not  only  had  charge  of  the  spiritual  activities  of  the  mission, 
but  also  the  general  management  of  two  large  cocoanut  plantations 
covering  about  1,215  acres,  from  which  he  cleared  a  dense  growth  of 
tropical  timber  in  order  to  plant  the  land  to  cocoanuts,  with  the  idea 
of  making  the  mission  self-sustaining.  During  this  stay  of  two  years 
and  nine  months,  in  addition  to  the  above,  he  established  thirteen  new 
branches  of  the  church  and  in  each  of  them  a  free  public  school,  erected 
several  commodious  school  and  mission  buildings,  and  did  a  great 
many  other  things  of  minor  importance.  Through  these  varied  ex- 
periences and  responsibilities  Mr.  Moody  has  acquired  an  unusual 
breadth  of  thought  and  stability  of  character,  wrhich  are  of  immense 
value  in  his  official  capacity. 


CY  BYRNE,  a  member  of  the  State  Land  Commission,  is  especially 
well  qualified  for  the  duties  of  the  office,  since  he  was  connected  with 
the  Forestry  Service  for  a  number  of  years,  and  also  traversed  many 
miles  through  Arizona  while  a  member  of  the  Territorial  Rangers, 
having  served  two  years  in  that  capacity  before  he  became  affiliated 
with  the  National  Forest  work.  Mr.  Byrne  is  a  native  of  the  Buckeye 
State,  having  been  born  in  Sandusky  in  1871.  He  has  been  identified 
with  many  enterprises  since  coming  to  Arizona  and  has  an  excellent 
idea  of  the  values  of  land  throughout  the  State.  He  came  to  Arizona 
in  1894,  worked  in  the  Black  Warrior  and  the  Old  Dominion  Mines 
for  some  time,  after  which  he  entered  the  employ  of  the  Old  Domin- 
ion Commercial  Company.  He  has  had  practical  experience  as  a 
miner,  having  prospected  for  several  years,  and  is  still  interested  in  a 


EN      ARIZONA  339 

number  of  valuable  claims  in  the  Superior  District.  As  Land  Com- 
missioner he  brings  to  the  office  a  fund  of  experience  gained  in  the 
various  enterprises  where  first  hand  knowledge  of  the  worth  of  the 
land  can  best  be  obtained ;  and  to  this  may  be  added  his  experience  in 
Texas,  New  Mexico  and  Arizona,  where  he  was  engaged  in  the  cattle 
business  for  some  time.  As  Deputy  Sheriff  of  Gila  County  he  was 
known  as  an  energetic  and  fearless  officer.  He  is  closely  identified 
with  the  fraternal  life  of  the  State,  being  a  thirty-third  degree  Mason 
and  a  member  of  the  B.  P.  C).  E.  As  a  Democrat  of  the  progressive 
type  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  Statehood  campaign,  and  later  in 
the  choosing  of  the  officials  to  govern  the  new  State,  and  he  ranks  as 
one  of  the  leaders  of  the  progressive  democracy  of  Arizona. 


LEROY  AUSTIN  LADD,  secretary  to  Governor  Hunt,  is  another  ex- 
ample of  the  young  man  who  survives  hard  knocks  by  regarding  them 
as  simply  part  of  the  game  of  getting  ahead.  His  chief  inheritances 
were  a  mind  of  his  own  and  good  health  to  back  it  up  in  emergencies, 
two  important  adjuncts  to  success  which  he  still  retains.  The  hard 
knocks  were  an  education  in  themselves,  for  to  the  young  man  prop- 
erly constituted  mentally  they  reveal  the  common  experience  of  mil- 
lions, and  start  deep  thought  in  regard  to  national  and  state  problems 
bearing  upon  adequate  reward  for  honest  work,  and  the  square  deal — 
in  short,  the  great  problem  of  humanity  as  it  should  be  presented  and 
solved  in  a  country  like  ours.  Leroy  Ladd  was  born  in  Duanesburgh, 
New  York,  October  25,  1884,  on  the  family  homestead,  which  was 
part  of  a  large  land  grant  ceded  to  one  of  his  ancestors,  as  reward  for 
services  performed  during  the  French  and  Indian  War.  His  father 
was  a  stockman,  making  a  specialty  of  thoroughbred  horses,  a  number 
of  which  made  enviable  track  records.  But  the  subject  of  this  sketch 
had  a  more  strenuous  experience  in  store  than  is  usually  afforded  by  a 
comfortable  homestead,  and  at  the  age  of  six  was  introduced  to  the 
outside  world,  when  his  father  left  New  York  and  went  to  Connecti- 
cut, Oklahoma  and  Nebraska,  pursuing  his  accustomed  business.  His 
father  was  also  active  in  political  life,  served  three  successive  terms  as 
Mayor  of  Bloomfield,  Connecticut,  and  in  Oklahoma  took  an  active 
part  in  public  affairs.  Leroy  Ladd  was  educated  in  the  schools  of  New 
York  and  Connecticut,  was  graduated  from  the  public  high  school  at 
Hartford,  and  then  spent  one  year  at  Leland  Stanford,  Jr.,  Univers- 
ity. Following  this  a  year  was  spent  ranching  in  Oklahoma  and  the 
Indian  Nations,  but  the  desire  for  more  education  being  strong,  he  left 
the  ranch  to  enter  Trinity  College,  Hartford,  Conn.,  where  he  re- 
mained three  years  and  was  graduated  with  honors  in  psychology  and 
philosophy.  Newspaper  work  then  attracted  him  and  he  became  asso- 
ciated with  the  staff  of  the  Hartford  Daily  Courant.  Commencing  as 
general  reporter,  he  later  did  special  writing,  and  was  soon  holding 


340 


WHO     S      WHO 


the  positions  of  staff  correspondent  and  automobile  editor.  Subse- 
quently for  about  a  year,  he  was  on  the  staff  of  the  San  Francisco 
Chronicle.  On  locating  in  Globe,  Arizona,  he  served  in  turn  as  editor 
and  editorial  writer  of  the  Silver  Belt.  Later  he  organized  the  Globe 
Bureau  of  Mines,  a  syndicate  which  supplied  accurate  news  and  spec- 
ial articles  on  Arizona  mines  for 
mining  and  financial  journals, 
the  influence  of  which  was  ap- 
parent in  discouraging  wildcat 
schemes.  Mr.  Ladd  served  as 
president  and  manager  of  the  en- 
terprise, and  many  articles  were 
published  over  his  name  by  lead- 
ing financial  papers.  In  connec- 
tion with  this  he  established  the 
Mining  News  Letter,  which  at- 
tained a  circulation  of  5,600 
weekly  within  four  months,  and 
the  publicity  this  afforded  was 
of  untold  benefit  to  the  Globe- 
Miami  district.  Mr.  Ladd's  ad- 
vent into  the  political  life  of 
Arizona  occurred  soon  after  his 
arrival  in  Globe,  where  he  or- 
ganized and  was  president  of  the 
"Young  Turks,"  an  organiza- 
tion enlisted  to  fight  for  clean 
politics  and  progressive  princi- 
ples. It  was  the  first  political 
organization  in  Arizona  to  de- 
clare for  the  initiative,  referen- 
dum and  recall.  Its  members  took  an  active  part  in  the  election  of 
delegates  to  the  Constitutional  Convention  from  Gila  County,  and 
every  candidate  they  supported  after  the  primaries  was  elected.  Mean- 
while, other  counties  in  Arizona  had  organized  along  similar  lines, 
and  the  movement  had  widespread  influence  in  behalf  of  the  progres- 
sive cause.  During  the  campaign  of  the  first  general  election  of  state 
officers,  Mr.  Ladd  was  publisher  and  editor  of  the  Daily  Globe,  which 
most  effectively  aided  the  cause  of  the  progressive  Democrats,  every 
one  of  whose  candidates  was  elected  in  Gila  County.  When  the  first 
State  Legislature  convened  in  March,  1912,  Mr.  Ladd  covered  the 
proceedings  for  the  Associated  Press,  and  before  its  adjournment  in 
June,  1912,  he  was  appointed  to  his  present  position,  Secretary  to  Gov- 
ernor Hunt.  In  performing  the  various  duties  of  this  position,  which 
has  been  filled  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  those  concerned,  he  has  dis- 
played not  only  marked  ability  but  the  utmost  tact  and  courtesy.

JESSE  LAWRENCE  BOYCE,  Secretary  of  the  State  Tax  Commission 
and  Board  of  Equalization,  was  born  at  Las  Vegas,  N.  M.,  October 
20,  1881,  but  the  next  year  the  family  removed  to  Arizona,  which  has 
since  been  their  home.  His  parents  are  Cormick  E.  and  Martha 
Murray  Boyce.  They  set- 
tled in  Williams,  where 
his  father  became  one  of 
the  prominent  merchants 
and  took  an  active  part  in 
politics.  Here  Jesse  Boyce 
was  educated,  and  he  num- 
bers among  his  early  teach- 
ers the  Honorable  Henry 
D.  Ross,  now  Associate 
Justice  of  the  Supreme 
Court,  and  Honorable 
George  U.  Young,  former- 
ly Secretary  of  the  Terri- 
tory of  Arizona,  under 
whom  he  was  graduated  at 
the  age  of  twelve  years.  He 
also  had  one  year  at  St. 
Michael's  College,  Santa 
Fe,  N.  M. ;  then  worked  in 
sawmills  for  a  while,  and 
at  the  age  of  fifteen  was 
punching  cows.  He  later 
attended  St.  Vincent's  Col- 
lege, Los  Angeles,  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in 
the  Commercial  Class  in 
June,  1900;  again  entered 
the  same  College,  and  was 
graduated  in  1903  with  the  degree  Bachelor  of  Science,  and  received 
the  medal  awarded  for  the  highest  average  in  the  class,  and  was  second 
in  standing  in  composition  and  elocution.  During  his  term  at  college 
he  took  a  leading  part  in  all  the  dramatic  performances,  frequently 
playing  leading  parts,  and  was  tackle  on  the  football  team  for  three 
seasons.  After  leaving  college  he  took  an  active  part  in  the  stock 
business  and  was  engaged  in  riding  ranges  for  a  year.  His  next  move 
was  to  the  logging  camps  of  Northern  Arizona,  where  he  spent  two 
years.  In  1906  he  was  nominated  on  the  Democratic  ticket  for  Re- 
corder of  Coconino  County  against  a  Republican,  who  had  held  the 
office  for  six  years,  and  Mr.  Boyce  was  elected  by  150  majority;  he 
was  re-elected  for  the  succeeding  term  by  350  majority,  and  held  the 
office  until  Arizona  became  a  State.  At  the  beginning  of  1907  he

CHARLES  P.  MULLEN,  President  of  the  Arizona  Cattle  Growers' 
Association,  and  General  Manager  and  Treasurer  of  the  Arizona 
Cattle  Company,  is  a  resident  of  Tempe.  Mr.  Mullen  was  born  in 
Butte  County,  California,  September  8,  1873,  and  is  the  son  of  Joseph 
B.  and  Mamie  E.  Mullen.  He  was  graduated  with  the  class  of  1895 
from  the  Tempe  Normal  School,  and  for  the  succeeding  three  years 
was  employed  by  Thomas  Hagan  as  Superintendent,  having  charge  of 
the  buying  and  selling  of  cattle.  When  Mr.  Hagan  retired  from 
business,  he  secured  a  similar  position  with  the  Turkey  Track  Cattle 
Company  at  their  ranches  in  Tempe,  to  which  cattle  from  their  Mexi- 
can ranches  were  shipped  to  be  fattened  and  sold.  After  four  years 
he  engaged  in  business  on  his  own  account,  farming  and  fattening 
cattle,  in  which  he  continued  until  1907,  when  he  organized  the 
Arizona  Cattle  Company.  Of  this  company  he  was  elected  general 
manager  and  treasurer,  W.  J.  Kingsbury  president  and  Mrs.  V.  C. 
Kingsbury  secretary.  The  business  of  the  company  is  raising  cattle 
on  their  ranges  on  the  Santa  Fe  west  of  Prescott  and  fattening  them 
for  the  Los  Angeles  market  on  their  own  lands  in  the  Salt  River 
Valley.  The  company  has  been  successful  from  the  beginning,  and 
their  business,  which  is  constantly  increasing,  is  developing  into  one 
of  the  foremost  in  the  State.  Mr.  Mullen  is  a  recognized  authority 
on  the  subject  of  cattle  raising  and  has  been  one  of  the  leading  mem- 
bers of  the  Arizona  Cattle  Growers'  Association  for  some  years.  In 
1911  he  was  elected  Vice  President  of  the  Association,  and  at  the 
annual  meeting  in  1912  was  elected  its  President.  In  addition  to  the 
cattle  business  his  interests  are  varied.  He  is  one  of  the  directors  of 
the  Union  Bank  &  Trust  Company,  Phoenix.  In  politics,  until  the 
past  year,  when  he  joined  the  Progressives,  Mr.  Mullen  was  a  Repub- 
lican, but  never  an  office-holder.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Odd

Arizona.  Mr.  Costley  was  born  in  Lawrence  County,  Missouri, 
Febuary  11,  1864.  His  father,  who  was  a  pioneer  of  that  State, 
settled  there  in  1830  and  engaged  in  farming.  William  Costley, 
having  lived  on  a  farm  until  twenty  years  of  age,  had  rather  limited 
facilities  for  acquiring  an  education  to  that  time,  when  he  entered 
Pierce  City  Baptist  College,  completed  the  course  and  engaged  in

in  mercantile  work,  at  which  he  spent  fifteen  years.  He  then  spent 
several  years  as  traveling  salesman,  and  lived  in  Missouri,  Idaho, 
Kansas  and  Illinois,  and  in  February,  1906,  came  to  Arizona.  He 
at  once  became  interested  in  real  estate,  soon  saw  the  possibilities  in 
this  line,  and  shortly  established  the  firm  of  which  he  is  now  presi- 
dent. His  success  from  the  beginning  has  been  continuous,  and  the

Frank   P.    Trott 

FRANK  P.  TROOT,  Civil  Engineer  and  pioneer  of  Phoenix,  was 
born  in  McMinnville,  Tenn.,  July  2,  1853.  His  parents,  Henry 
and  Hannah  A.  Shaw  Trott,  were  members  of  old-time  pioneer 
families  of  that  State  who  figured  conspicuously  in  its  history  in  early 
days.  Mr.  Trott  was  reared  and  educated  in  his  native  State,  studied 
civil  engineering,  but  for  thirty  years  has  been  closely  associated  with 
the  interests  of  Arizona,  especially  with  the  development  of  Phoenix 
and  Maricopa  County.  Here  he  has  followed  his  chosen  work  in 
both  private  and  official  capacities  with  abundant  success.  For  six 
years  he  was  surveyor  of  Maricopa  County.  He  also  served  as 
Marshal  of  Phoenix  in  1886  and  1887,  and  as  Water  Commissioner 
of  the  Salt  River  Valley  sixteen  years.  All  his  life  he  has  been  a 
Democrat,  devoted  to  the  best  interests  of  the  party,  and  during  Terri- 
torial days  served  as  Chairman  of  the  Democratc  Central  Committee.

EUGENE  SLIKER,  son  of  a  pioneer  family  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  has 
resided  in  Flagstaff  since  1890.  During  this  time  he  has  been  asso- 
ciated with  the  Arizona 
Lumber  &  Timber 
Company,  the  oldest 
manufacturing  concern 
in  the  state.  At  the 
present  time  he  is  the 
cashier  and  one  of  the 
directors  of  that  com- 
pany. He  has  been  ap- 
pointed to  various  po- 
sitions of  trust  by  the 
Republican  party.  As 
Secretary  of  the  Board 
of  Education  of  the 
Northern  Normal 
School  at  Flagstaff,  he 
has  done  all  in  his  pow- 
er to  assist  in  placing  it 
on  its  present  firm 
basis.  Mr.  Sliker  was 
married  in  1906  to 
Miss  Frances  Bury, 
daughter  of  Mrs. 
Helen  Bury,  who  has 
been  prominent  in 
Phoenix  affairs  for 
years,  and  was  a  pioneer  teacher  of  that  city.  Mrs.  Sliker, 


thirty 


then  Miss  Bury,  was  associated  with  the  first  president  of  the  North- 
ern Arizona  Normal  School  in  the  organization  of  that  institution  in 
1899. 

Z.  C.  PRENTA,  mayor  of  Safford,  is  one  of  the  pioneers  of  Arizona, 
having  come  here  in  1884.  He  first  lived  in  Cochise  County  four 
years,  and  then  removed  to  the  Gila  Valley,  where  he  ranks  as  one 
of  the  great  cattlemen  of  the  state.  He  was  first  interested  in  cattle 
and  ranching,  then  engaged  in  an  independent  business  venture,  and 
later  became  associated  with  George  A.  Olney  in  establishing  the  Saf- 
ford Ice  and  Creamery  Company,  which  manufactures  ice  for  the  en- 
tire Gila  Valley.  Mr.  Prera  was  born  in  Italy  in  1862,  and  came  to 
America  with  his  father  in  1870,  landing  in  New  Orleans.  Having 
lived  there  for  a  short  time,  he  proceeded  to  Texas,  where  he  remained 
until  he  decided  to  make  Arizona  his  home.  On  November  16,  1897, 
Mr.  Prena  married  Miss  Martha  Wanslee,  daughter  of  Nathan  and 
Ruth  Wanslee,  of  Safford,  and  since  his  marriage  has  acquired  much 
of  his  education,  having  applied  himself  diligently  to  rudimentary

blanches  until  proficient  to  take  up  a  business  course,  which  he  com- 
pleted with  much  credit.  Mr.  Prena  is  now  especially  interested  in 
educational  matters,  and  is  one  of  those  who  opposed  consolidation  of 
the  two  districts  except  for  high  school  purposes.  When  it  was  pro- 
posed to  establish  another  room  in  the  schools  by  private  subscription, 
Mayor  Prena  headed  the  list  of  contributors.  He  is  also  an  active 
member  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  has  been  a  promoter  of 
some  of  the  town's  most  worthy  enterprises.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
Blue  Lodge  Masons  and  Knights  of  Pythias.  Politically  he  has  al- 
ways been  associated  with  the  Democratic  party,  and  while  an  import- 
ant factor  in  its  councils  in  the  county,  has  never  held  an  office  previ- 
ously except  that  of  supervisor  for  one  term.  Locally  he  has  been 
elected  to  the  council,  and  is  now  serving  his  second  term  as  mayor. 
The  Prena  family  consists  of  Eva,  Ruth,  Zeff,  Jr.,  Eunice  and  Grant. 


JESSE  GREGG,  rancher,  wool  grower  and  cattleman,  is  one  of  Ari- 
zona's pioneers  who  has  accomplished  much  for  the  good  of  the  state, 
and  of  Flagstaff  and  vicinity  in  particular.  Mr.  Gregg  was  born  in 
Illinois  in  1861  of  Scotch  parentage.  His  father,  James  Gregg,  died 
at  the  siege  of  Vicksburg,  but  his  mother  is  still  living.  Jesse  Gregg 
has  been  for  the  most  part  educated  by  reading  and  experience,  but 
the  courage  of  his  convictions  and  tenacity  of  purpose  which  have  been 
part  of  his  Scotch  heritage  have  enabled  him  to  overcome  obstacles, 
and  thereby  accomplish  much  under  conditions  that  \vould  have  daunt- 
ed many  another.  Starting  with  little  of  this  world's  goods,  he  has, 
by  his  perseverance,  application  to  duty  and  good  judgment,  risen, 
until  he  stands  today  pre-eminent  among  Arizona's  noteworthy  citi- 
zens. His  home  near  Flagstaff  is  a  model  ranch.  The  location  is 
ideal,  the  soil  fertile,  and  the  remarkable  crops  which  it  produces  are 
due,  in  large  part,  to  the  manner  in  which  it  is  handled.  Known  all 
over  Arizona  as  an  able  business  man,  Mr.  Gregg  was  elected  to  the 
office  of  supervisor  by  the  largest  vote  ever  received  by  a  candidate  for 
this  office,  and  by  the  board  was  chosen  chairman.  During  his  term 
of  office  he  was  recognized  as  one  who  fought  for  his  convictions,  re- 
gardless of  conditions.  Public  improvements,  clean  cut  economy,  and 
methods  such  as  would  be  used  by  a  business  man  in  his  own  affairs 
wrere  the  watchword  of  the  administration,  and  the  people  were  justly 
grateful.  Mr.  Gregg  is  a  broadminded  man,  who  has  long  been  a 
power  in  the  councils  of  his  party,  this  able  administration  has  made 
him  stronger,  and  he  would  poll  many  votes  outside  his  party  should 
he  seek  any  county  office.  One  of  the  things  accomplished  by  him  is 
the  saving  of  the  Bright  Angel  Trail  for  Coconino  County,  to  which 
it  now  belongs,  to  which  end  he  cast  aside  politics  and  other  considera- 
tions in  his  efforts  to  succeed  in  his  purpose.  Mr.  Gregg  is  a  member 
of  the  Masons  and  Odd  Fellows.  He  married  Miss  Matilda  M. 
Huffman,  and  their  family  consists  of  Esther,  Jim,  Nellie  and 
Jesse,  Jr.

WHO     S      WHO 


It  is  not  known  whether  or  not  there  is  any  working  of  fate  in  the 
fact  that  the  youngest  State  of  the  Union  has  the  youngest  Secretary 
of  State,  but  it  is  true  nevertheless.  In  addition  to  having  the 
youngest  official  holding  a  similar  position  of  trust  and  confidence  in 
all  the  vast  American  population  of  100,000,000,  Arizona  has,  in 
Sidney  P.  Osborn,  its  only  native  office-holder  in  the  official  family 
under  the  big  dome  at  the  State  House.  In  this  good  year  1913, 
Mr.  Osborn  is  just  verging  on  the  twenty-ninth  winter  of  his  life. 

The  chief  pride  of  Arizonans  in  the  Secretary  of  State  does  not, 
however,  lie  in  his  youth,  but  in  his  efficiency  in  office,  and  as  a 
politician  without  a  peer  among  the  members  of  his  party.  He  has 
an  old  head  on  young  shoulders. 

But  to  return  to  the  cold,  hard  facts  of  biography.  Sidney  P. 
Osborn  was  born  in  a  little,  straggling  village  on  the  banks  of  the 
Salt  River  no  longer  ago  than  May  17th,  1884.  The  straggling 
village  of  his  birth  has  thrown  off  the  swaddling  clothes  of  provincial- 
ism and  is  fast  growing  into  a  metropolitan  city,  the  finest  in  the 
Southwest,  the  capital  and  chief  city  of  this  great  State.  Secretary 
Osborn's  parents  were  in  every  sense  pioneers,  as  wTere  their  parents 
before  them.  They  arrived  in  Prescott  in  1864,  in  days  when  travel 
was  slow  over  the  plains.  The  prairie  schooner  made  sure  progress, 
however,  for  all  its  lack  of  celerity,  and  in  the  course  of  the  passage 
of  the  years  the  Osborn  family  arrived  near  where  Phoenix  now  is, 
the  Secretary's  grandfather  settling  in  what  is  now  the  Osborn  district 
of  Phoenix.  The  name  of  the  district  comes  from  the  fact  that  the 
large  Osborn  family  lived  there  for  many  years. 

Sidney  Osborn  took  advantage  of  the  school  facilities  of  Phoenix 
and  was  graduated  from  the  High  School  in  1903,  but  in  the  mean- 
time he  had  been  given  a  taste  of  official  life  in  the  capacity  of  page 
in  the  Territorial  Legislative  Assembly  of  Arizona  of  1899.  During 
the  years  1903,  1904  and  1905  he  was  Private  Secretary  to  Honorable 
J.  F.  Wilson,  Delegate  in  Congress  from  Arizona. 

When  Congress  passed  the  Enabling  Act  and  the  struggle  for  dele- 
gates to  the  Constitutional  Convention  in  Arizona  opened,  young 
Osborn  entered  the  field  as  a  candidate  of  the  Progressive  Democracy. 
At  that  time  he  was  connected  with  one  of  the  local  newspapers,  in  one 
of  the  tripartite  capacities  in  which  young  men  of  ability  are  often 
employed  upon  small  newspapers.  He  was  at  once  circulation  mana- 
ger, advertising  solicitor  and  collector,  as  well  as  a  part  time  reporter. 
However,  this  training  gave  him  further  insight.  It  gave  him  an 
ability  to  met  his  fellow  men  on  an  equal  plane,  so  that  when  he  ran 
for  the  Constitutional  Convention,  in  addition  to  his  being  a  native 
son,  born  in  Phoenix,  and  one  of  the  Osborn  family,  he  stood  upon 
his  general  information  of  men  and  affairs  as  viewed  through  the  eyes 
of  a  life-long  and  progressive  Democrat,  and  he  was,  therefore,  elected 
t^  the  Convention,  its  voungest  member.

3o2  WHO'S    WHO 

When  the  first  State  election  came  on,  Osborn  stood  out  in  the 
primary  and  general  election  as  the  successful  candidate  for  the  office 
of  Secretary  of  State,  his  record  in  the  Constitutional  Convention 
having  much  to  do  with  this.  However,  it  is  quite  likely  that  the 
resentment  of  his  many  friends  to  the  slurs  of  youth  fired  at  him  by 
the  opposition  had  much  to  do  with  his  excellent  majority.  Since 
assuming  office  he  has  conducted  the  business  in  a  most  successful 
manner,  and  established  a  record  that  future  secretaries  will  find 
hard  to  beat. 

In  1912  Secretary  Osborn  found  the  ideal  of  his  dreams  in  a 
handsome  young  Australian  woman,  Miss  Marjorie  Grant,  and  in 
September  of  that  year  the  Secretary  quietly  journeyed  to  Los  Angeles, 
where  the  young  lady  lived,  and  there  they  were  quietly  married. 
Returning  to  Phoenix,  they  set  up  housekeeping.  Both  the  Secretarv 
and  his  charming  wife  are  popular  members  of  society  in  the  Capital 
City.  Both  number  their  friends  by  their  acquaintances,  and  both 
can  look  forward  to  long  and  useful  careers  in  the  political  and  social 
circles  of  the  great  S«"ate  of  Arizona. 


JOHN  C.  CALLAGHAN,  first  state  auditor  of  Arizona,  was  born  at 
Gallitzin,  Pennsylvania,  July  9,  1869.  He  is  the  son  of  James  and 
Mary  Sloan  Callaghan.  His  father  is  now  superintendent  of  the 
South  Fork  Coal  Mining  Company  of  South  Fork,  Pa.  Mr.  Calla- 
ghan began  work  in  the  coal  mines  at  the  age  of  eleven  years,  mean- 
while attending  night  school.  He  returned  to  school  after  a  few 
years,  and  later  entered  the  employ  of  the  Webster  Coal  &  Coke  Com- 
pany, at  Ehrenfeld,  Pa.,  as  bookkeeper  in  the  general  store  of  that 
company,  later  becoming  assistant  manager.  In  August,  1897,  he  re- 
signed, going  to  Denver,  Colorado,  and  in  December,  1898,  came  to 
Clifton,  Arizona,  where  he  took  a  position  in  the  store  office  of  the 
Arizona  Copper  Company.  Resigning  this  position  in  July,  1899,  he 
removed  to  Bisbee,  took  charge  of  the  credit  department  of  the  Copper 
Queen  store,  wrhich  position  he  resigned  January  1,  1902,  to  engage  in 
a  business  partnership.  During  the  administration  of  Sheriff  A.  V. 
Lewis  at  Tombstone  in  1903  and  1904  he  was  under  sheriff,  and  in 
1905  returned  to  Bisbee  to  engage  in  business,  of  which  he  disposed  in 
June,  1908,  and  was  that  year  the  Democratic  nominee  for  County 
Treasurer,  but,  writh  other  Democrats,  met  defeat.  He  was  nominated 
State  Auditor  in  the  primary  campaign  of  1911,  carrying  even-  county 
except  one,  and  w^as  elected  to  that  office  December  12th  of  that  year. 
He  is  ex-Officio  State  Bank  Comptroller,  President  of  the  State  Board 
of  Equalization,  and  a  member  of  each,  the  State  Board  of  Control, 
State  Board  of  Commissioners  of  Paroled  Prisoners,  State  Loan  Com- 
mission, and  the  Land  Board  of  Arizona,  the  performance  of  the 
duties  of  wrhich  various  positions,  added  to  his  duties  as  State  Auditor,

constitute  him  a  very  busy  official.  During  Mr.  Callaghan's  service 
with  the  large  mining  companies  of  the  Southwest  he  has  made  a 
reputation  not  only  for  efficiency,  but  for  executive  ability.  His  influ- 
ence was  one  of  the  factors  in  bringing  Cochise  safely  into  the  Demo- 
cratic column  and  making  it  the  banner  county  in  the  election  of 
1912.  From  boyhood  he  has  been  a  close  and  persistent  student  of 
political  economy,  is  one  of  the  best  informed  men  in  the  state  on  the 
complex  question  of  taxation,  and  is  today  considered  one  of  the  most 
able  members  of  Arizona's  progressive  Democracy.  He  was  a  pio- 
neer advocate  in  Arizona  of  the  Initiative  and  the  Referendum,  as 
early  as  1905  declaring  for  these  in  the  press,  together  with  other  pro- 
posed reforms,  many  of  which  were  later  incorporated  in  the  Consti- 
tution of  Arizona,  and  in  this  connection  it  may  be  said  that  on  sub- 
jects in  which  he  takes  a  special  interest,  he  wields  a  facile  pen.  He  is 
possessed  of  foresight  of  excellent  clarity,  and  is  ever  in  the  forefront 
in  the  advocacy  of  progressive  ideas,  taking  care,  however,  to  espouse 
only  those  economic  ideas  which  are  of  a  substantial  and  enduring 
character,  and  is  not  handicapped  by  the  possession  of  idiosyncrasies. 
Of  a  quiet,  retiring  disposition,  his  official  acts  are  not  planned  or 
timed  to  produce  self-advertisement,  nor  are  they  intended  to  be 
spectacular  in  effect ;  neither  are  they  tempered  with  political  expedi- 
ency. He  brings  to  his  office  that  measure  of  balance,  poise  and  dig- 
nity which  commands  respect,  and  which  a  constituency  is  pleased  to 
observe  in  a  state  official.  Mr.  Callaghan  is  an  Elk,  and  a  Past  Ex- 
alted Ruler  of  Bisbee  Lodge  No.  671. 


GEORGE  PURDY  BULLARD,  first  State  Attorney  General  of  Arizona, 
and  one  of  the  ablest  attorneys  of  the  State,  is  also  one  of  the  most 
energetic,  and  has,  since  assuming  the  duties  of  the  Attorney  Gen- 
eral's office,  accomplished  much  in  the  way  of  generally  beneficial 
legislation,  as  his  conscientious  efforts  have  resulted  in  the  drafting 
of  many  statutes  and  the  correction  of  many  others.  Those  who 
watched  his  wTork  as  District  Attorney  of  Maricopa  County  expected 
much  of  the  State's  first  Attorney  General,  and  they  have  not  been 
disappointed,  as  the  statutes  which  he  has  drafted  are  sane,  fair,  and 
so  drawn  as  to  stand  the  most  rigid  tests.  Mr.  Bullard  is  a  close 
associate  of  Mr.  Cunniff,  President  of  the  Senate,  and,  like  him, 
seems  to  thrive  on  hard  work.  Arizona  can  claim  in  her  legal  pro- 
fession many  bright  minds  and  earnest  workers,  but  none  who  exceed 
in  ability  or  earnestness  the  present  Attorney  General.  In  knowledge 
and  experience,  too,  he  is  exceptional,  all  of  wThich  will  be  more  thor-' 
oughly  demonstrated  as  time  goes  on  and  the  State  of  Arizona  reaps 
the  benefits  of  his  zeal.  Air.  Bullard  is  also  an  ardent  autoist, 
President  of  the  State  Automobile  Association,  and  one  of  the  most 
enthusiastic  good  roads  boosters  in  the  State.  He  believes  that  there

is  more  money  in  tourists  than  in  alfalfa,  and  that  a  highway  system 
traversing  the  State  should  be  built  as  an  attraction  to  tourists.  Mr. 
Bullard  organized  the  Maricopa  County  Automobile  Club  about 
rive  years  ago,  and  it  was  he  who  conceived  the  idea  of  an  annual  race 
from  Los  Angeles  to  Phoenix,  induced  the  "Republican"  to  offer  a 
cup  as  a  trophy,  and  has  so  successfully  promoted  the  event  for  several 
years.  He  is  widely  known  as  "The  Father  of  the  Phoenix  Race." 
Mr.  Bullard  wras  born  in  Portland,  Oregon,  April  14,  1869,  and  is 
the  son  of  L.  J.  and  Minnie  Purdy  Bullard.  When  quite  young 
he  went  to  San  Francisco,  where  he  studied  law,  and  when  twenty-one 
was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  California,  and  has  since  been  constantly 
engaged  in  the  practice  of  his  profession.  From  1894  to  1899  he 
practiced  in  San  Francisco,  and  since  the  latter  year  in  Phoenix,  and 
for  five  years  wras  District  Attorney  of  Maricopa  County.  He  is  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Trade,  for  three  years  was  director  of  the 
Country  Club,  is  Vice  President  of  the  State  Good  Roads  Association 
and  honorary  member  of  the  Lincoln  Memorial  Association.  Mr. 
Bullard  was  married  in  1901  to  Miss  Kate  C.  Brockway  and  their 
residence  at  1131  North  Central  Avenue  is  one  of  the  finest  in 
Phoenix. 


RICHARD  E.  SLOAX  wras  born  in  Preble  County,  Ohio,  June  22, 
1857.  He  is  the  son  of  Dr.  Richard  and  Mary  Caldwell  Sloan. 
Having  completed  his  preliminary7  education,  he  entered  Monmouth 
College,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1877  with  an  A.  B.  degree, 
and  two  years  later  with  an  A.  M.  degree.  He  then  taught  school 
for  one  year  and  took  up  the  study  of  law  with  Mr.  James,  an  attor- 
ney of  Hamilton,  Ohio,  later  attending  the  Cincinnati  Law  School, 
from  which  he  took  the  degree  LL.  B.  in  1884.  In  the  meantime, 
however,  he  had  gone  to  Colorado  where  he  was  employed  in  various 
capacities  until  1882.  Returning  to  the  West  after  his  graduation 
from  Law  School,  he  located  in  Phoenix  and  engaged  in  practice 
for  about  two  years,  when  he  removed  to  Florence,  and  in  the  au- 
tumn of  1886  was  elected  District  Attorney  of  Pinal  County.  In  the 
autumn  of  1888  he  was  honored  by  being  chosen  to  the  Council  of  the 
Fifteenth  General  Assembly  and  during  his  term  served  as  Chairman 
of  the  Judiciary  Committee  and  member  of  several  others.  Judge 
Sloan  was  also  a  member  of  the  Code  Commission  in  1901.  The 
next  year  President  Harrison  appointed  him  Associate  Justice  of  the 
Supreme  Court,  and  in  this  capacity  Judge  Sloan  made  an  excellent 
record,  but  with  change  of  administration  he  resumed  his  private  prac- 
tice, choosing  Prescott  as  his  field,  and  there  his  practice  constantly 
increased  in  importance.  In  July,  1897,  however,  he  was  again  ap- 
pointed Associate  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  served  until 
1909,  when  he  was  appointed  Territorial  Governor,  in  which  office 
he  continued  until  the  admission  of  the  state.  Appointed  United  States

District  Judge  for  Arizona  in  1912,  he  held  the  office  by  recess  com- 
mission from  August,  1912,  to  March  4th,  1913.  He  is  now  a  mem- 
ber of  the  firm  of  Sloan,  Seabury  &  Westervelt.  In  November,  1887, 
he  married  Miss  Mary  Brown,  of  Hamilton,  Ohio.  Mrs.  Sloan  is  a 
woman  of  charming  personality  and  possesses  qualities  which  make 
her  socially  an  addition  to  the  best  circles.  Judge  Sloan  has  two 
children,  Miss  Eleanor  B.,  a  graduate  of  Vassar  College,  and  Mary 
Caldwell,  aged  twelve. 


L.  C.  HUGHES,  ex-Governor  of  Arizona,  was  born  May  15,  1842, 
at  Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania,  and  a  few  months  thereafter  his 
parents  removed  to  Pittsburgh.  At  two  years  of  age  he  was  left  an 
orphan,  and  was  placed  in  a  Presbyterian  orphanage,  when  he  re- 
mained until  ten  years  of  age,  and  was  then  indentured  with  a  Calvin- 
istic  farmer  family,  where  he  was  trained  to  hard  work — the  three 
months  yearly  district  school  laying  a  foundation  upon  wrhich  to  build 
for  future  achievements.  At  the  opening  of  the  Civil  War  he  was 
working  his  way  through  an  academy  in  a  country  village.  This 
was  when  slavery  agitation  was  at  white  heat.  The  orphan  boy  had 
read  Uncle  Tom's  Cabin, and  taking  part  in  the  school  debates,  was 
ardent  for  the  freedom  of  black  boys  and  girls.  The  call  to  arms  to 
save  the  Union  found  him  recruiting  a  company  from  among  the 
country  boys,  and  after  he  had  been  twice  refused  enlistment  on 
account  of  size,  finally  succeeded  in  being  accepted  in  Company  A, 
101st  Pennsylvania  Volunteers,  served  two  years  in  camp,  field  and 
hospitals,  and  was  discharged  on  account  of  general  disability.  A 
year  thereafter  he  re-enlisted  and  was  Sergeant  for  a  one  hundred 
days'  campaign  in  Knapp's  Pittsbuig  battery,  to  aid  in  protecting 
Washington  City.  During  his  army  service  the  camp  was  his  school 
and  he  utilized  his  spare  hours  in  study.  When  first  discharged  he 
entered  a  government  machine  shop  and  rapidly  acquired  the  trade, 
the  shop  men  all  helping  the  "little  boy  in  blue,"  as  he  was  called. 
When  he  had  worked  but  two  years  he  was  accepted  as  a  journeyman, 
joined  Machinists  and  Blacksmiths'  Union  No.  2  of  Pittsburgh,  and 
there  is  where  he  began  to  develop  his  altruistic  spirit.  The  cause 
of  freedom  for  the  black  man  and  the  Union  of  States  sett'ed,  the 
cause  of  labor  was  rising  above  the  horizon.  Returning  soldiers 
filled  the  shops  and  all  other  avenues  of  employment,  and  labor  saving 
machinery  had  made  great  strides  during  the  war;  an  estrangement 
between  capital  and  labor  was  a  new  issue,  and  rumblings  of  discon- 
tent were  heard  among  the  laboring  masses  everywhere.  Many 
remedies  were  suggested,  co-operative  societies,  building  and  loan  asso- 
ciations, reduction  of  the  hours  of  labor,  with  the  hope  of  reducing 
the  supply  and  increasing  the  demand  for  labor.  In  this  new  field 
young  Hughes  wras  a  willing,  active  and  aggressive  spirit.  Pitts- 
burgh, a  center  of  iron  and  glass  manufacturing,  was  ripe  for  agita- 
tion, organization  and  labor  reform  at  the  close  of  the  war.  Here

was  a  new  field,  calling  for  self-sacrificing  workers,  which  found  in 
him  aggressive  enthusiasm.  The  eight  hour  movement  was  crystal- 
ized  into  practical  form  in  1866,  and,  joining  with  the  leaders,  W. 
O'Neil  of  Boston  and  Jonathan  Fincher  of  Philadelphia,  he  secured  a 
petition  of  several  thousand  working  men  of  Pittsburgh,  addressed  to 
Congress,  for  a  law  fixing  eight  hours  for  all  government  work. 
This  was  sent  to  Senator  Henry  Wilson  of  Massachusetts,  who 
fathered  and  passed  the  bill,  the  first  eight  hour  law  in  the  United 
States.  During  the  same  year  he  agitated  and  aided  in  organizing 
in  South  Pittsburgh,  the  first  co-operative  store  on  the  Rochdale  plan 
west  of  the  Allegheny  mountains.  While  taking  a  course  in  Mead- 
ville  Theological  School,  he  counseled  Father  Upchurch  in  organizing 
the  A.  O.  of  U.  W.,  and  became  a  member  of  Jefferson  Lodge  No.  1, 
the  first  in  the  United  States.  The  order  had  as  one  of  its  purposes 
the  federation  of  all  trades  and  labor  unions,  but  it  soon  drifted  into 
a  fraternal  insurance  organization.  In  1868  he  delivered  an  address 
on  "Trades  Unions,  Their  Cause,  Influence  and  Present  Necessity," 
before  the  International  Convention  of  Machinists  and  Blacksmiths' 
Union  of  America  and  Great  Britain,  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  predicting 
a  destructive  conflict  between  the  Pennsylvania  Railroad  and  labor. 
That  conflict  climaxed,  inside  of  five  years,  in  the  destruction  of 
millions  of  property  in  Pittsburgh  and  other  points  on  its  railroad  sys- 
tem. Mr.  Hughes  studied  law  in  Meadville,  overtasked  himself  in 
his  studies  and  reform  activity,  and  wrecked  his  health,  which  resulted 
in  his  seeking  rest  and  absence  from  the  fretting  and  agitating  multi- 
tude, and  1871  found  him  in  Tucson,  Arizona,  the  land  of  the  fierce 
Apaches,  desert  and  sunshine,  where  he  entered  upon  the  practice  of 
his  chosen  profession.  Soon  after  he  was  appointed  Probate  Judge 
and  ex-Officio  County  Superintendent  of  Schools ;  was  District 
Attorney  twyo  terms ;  was  Attorney  General ;  United  States  Court 
Commissioner;  Member  of  Board  of  World's  Fair  Commission  at 
Chicago  for  Arizona,  and  delegate  to  the  Democratic  National  Con- 
ventions in  1884  and  1892.  In  1878  he  established  the  Arizona 
Star,  the  first  daily  paper  in  Arizona,  of  which  he  was  editor  and 
publisher  for  thirty  years.  When  the  Arizona  Press  Association 
was  organized  in  1892  Mr.  Hughes  was  elected  its  first  President. 
The  birth  of  the  Star  was  the  date  of  the  State  building  era  of  Ari- 
zona, and  to  this  end  the  Star  declared  the  settlement  of  the  Apache 
problem  was  the  first  consideration.  The  government  had  adopted 
the  Indian  reservation  policy,  herding  and  feeding  and  protecting 
thousands  of  Apache  murderers,  who  sallied  forth  from  their  cities  of 
refuge  to  commit  depredations  on  the  white  settlers,  then  returned 
with  the  plunder  and  scalps  of  their  victims  as  trophies  of  these  raids. 
The  Star  initiated  and  declared  for  the  policy  of  removal  of  the  crim- 
inal element  of  the  Apaches  to  Florida,  land  of  swamps,  lakes,  forests, 
rain  and  storms — new  to  the  merciless  savage — where  the  physical 
conditions  were  in  striking  contrast  to  the  desert's  treeless,  mountain- 


I  X      A  R  I  Z  O  X  A  361 

ous  and  arid  region,  and  for  years  the  Star  stood  alone  in  its  advocacy 
of  this  policy.  Mr.  Hughes  secured  the  agency  of  the  Associated 
Press,  and  with  every  fresh  Apache  outbreak  the  news  was  flashed  to 
the  press,  with  public  resolutions  demanding  their  removal,  thus 
securing  comment  of  the  press  and  creating  wide-spread  public  opinion 
of  the  entire  country.  At  the  Democratic  National  Convention  of 
1884,  he  secured  the  adoption  of  a  plank  pledging  the  party  to  the 
removal  policy.  Cleveland  was  elected  and  Mr.  Hughes,  with 
petitions  from  all  Arizona  settlements,  visited  him  and  secured  his 
pledge  for  the  removal  policy.  The  President  then  commissioned 
General  Miles  to  make  good  his  promise,  and  in  less  than  six  months 
after  his  arrival  in  Arizona  General  Miles  had  all  the  criminal 
Apaches  captured  and  removed  to  Florida.  This  was  the  first  im- 
portant step  for  Arizona  State  builders.  On  the  first  anniversary  of 
the  removal  of  the  Apache,  the  citizens  of  Arizona  celebrated  the 
event  at  Tucson  by  presenting  a  sword  to  General  Miles,  and  in 
recognition  of  their  public  service,  the  Society  of  Arizona  Pioneers 
elected  him  and  L.  C.  Hughes  honorary  life  members  of  the  society. 
This  anniversary,  while  it  memorialized  the  end  of  Indian  war,  was 
the  date  of  a  still  more  important  event,  for  it  was  here  and  then  that 
General  Miles  made  an  address  before  the  Arizona  Pioneer  Society 
declaring  it  was  the  duty  of  the  Federal  Government  to  reclaim  its 
arid  region  to  agriculture.  This  was  the  first  public  utterance  on 
this  question,  and  with  the  permission  of  the  General,  Mr.  Hughes 
called  the  attention  of  the  editor  of  the  North  American  Review  to 
the  address,  asked  to  have  it  published,  and  it  appeared  in  the  issue  of 
March,  1890,  under  the  title,  "Our  Unwatered  Empire."  This 
wyas  the  first  publication  on  the  subject  of  government  reclamation  in 
the  United  States,  so  declared  by  Senator  Newlands  in  Congress 
twelve  years  thereafter,  upon  the  eve  of  the  passage  of  National  Irri- 
gation Law.  This  wTas  the  second  important  step  achieved  by  Ari- 
zona State  builders.  After  the  removal  of  the  Apaches,  the  titles  to 
vast  areas  of  land  in  Arizona,  claimed  under  Spanish  and  Mexican 
land  grants,  was  a  menace  to  the  settlement  of  the  Territory.  Mr. 
Hughes  had  already  secured  the  introduction  of  a  bill  in  Congress, 
creating  a  Federal  land  court,  its  purpose  being  the  determining  of 
these  titles.  Single  handed  for  several  years  he  made  the  issue  for 
the  creation  of  this  court,  while  the  entire  legal  fraternity,  the  press 
(excepting  the  Star),  together  with  the  Arizona  delegate  in  Congress, 
opposed  the  measure ;  but  the  court  was  created,  organized  and  in  less 
than  ten  years  returned  to  the  government  over  12,000,000  acres  in 
Arizona  alone,  claimed  under  Spanish  and  Mexican  titles.  This 
land  embraces  the  finest  agricultural  districts  of  every  valley  of  South- 
ern Arizona.  This  was  the  third  most  important  step  of  the  State 
builders.  The  building  of  homes,  promoting  permanent  settlement 
throughout  Arizona,  found  practical  and  successful  encouragement  in 
the  Star  advocacy  of  establishing  Building  and  Loan  Associations,  the 


362  \V  H  O  '  S     WHO 

first  of  which  was  organized  in  Tucson  in  1887.  Mr.  Hughes  made 
a  successful  ten  years'  contest  against  public  gambling,  and  had  a  hill 
/or  its  suppression  passed  through  the  lower  house  of  Congress.  Its 
enactment  was  urged  by  President  Roosevelt  and  recommended  for 
passage  by  the  Senate  Committee  on  Territories.  But  he  had  action 
suspended  on  the  bill  for  sixty  days  to  give  the  Legislatures  of  Arizona 
and  New  Mexico  an  opportunity  to  enact  a  Territorial  law,  which 
they  did,  thus  banishing  public  gambling  from  those  Territories. 
This  was  the  fourth  conquest  for  the  State  builders.  The  Star  waged 
war  against  the  saloon  traffic  and  advocated  woman  suffrage  for 
thirty  years  as  an  aid  in  this  and  kindred  reforms  in  building  the  State. 
It  was  on  the  firing  line  of  many  political  reforms,  including  the  initia- 
tive, referendum  and  recall,  primary  elections,  etc.,  and  always  against 
capital  punishment.  It  urged  with  vigor  the  establishment  of 
schools,  churches,  fraternal  societies,  providing  firm  foundation  for 
community  life,  and  was  emphatic  for  the  reading  of  the  Bible  in  the 
public  schools  and  other  public  educational  institutions,  as  well  as  the 
enactment  of  laws  requiring  the  teaching  of  the  Spanish  language  in 
the  public  schools  as  an  important  link  of  union  with  the  Spanish- 
American  Republics  and  opening  a  wide  field  of  professional  and  com- 
mercial business  for  Spanish-speaking  Americans.  Mr.  Hughes  was 
governor  of  the  Territory  from  April  1st,  1893,  to  April  1st,  1896. 
His  administration  was  signalized  by  economy  and  retrenchment  in 
the  public  service,  by  eliminating  all  unnecessary  employes.  When 
he  came  into  office  the  Territorial  treasury  was  facing  a  deficit  of 
more  than  $50,000.  In  1893  the  deficit  was  reduced  to  less  than 
$3,300;  in  1894  there  was  nearly  $6,000  in  the  treasury,  and  at  the 
close  of  1895  the  Territorial  indebtedness  had  been  reduced  $50,- 
485.76 — the  first  decrease  in  the  indebtedness  for  fifteen  years.  And 
this  result  with  no  increase  of  taxation.  Upon  his  recommendation 
a  non-partisan  Board  of  Control  was  created,  composed  of  the  Gov- 
ernor, the  Auditor  and  a  citizen  member  of  the  opposite  political 
party,  none  but  the  citizen  member  receiving  compensation  for  ser- 
vices. This  law  abolished  the  Boards  of  Commissioners  of  Prison, 
Insane  Asylum,  Reform  School  and  Railroad — making  a  saving  of 
more  than  $25,000  in  salaries  and  mileage,  as  the  records  show.  The 
cost  per  capita  for  administering  the  Territorial  Prison  and  Insane 
Asylum  was  reduced  23  per  cent,  and  reduction  in  maintenance  was 
noticeable  in  all  institutions.  The  annual  cost  of  maintaining  the 
Territorial  administration  under  Governor  Hughes  was  less  than 
$200,000,  and  for  the  three  years  it  did  not  reach  a  total  of  $600,000, 
notwithstanding  that,  during  those  three  years,  there  were  erected  the 
Normal  School  buildings  at  Flagstaff  and  Tempe,  University  dormi- 
tory at  Tucson,  and  over  $30,000  expended  in  improvements  on  the 
Insane  Asylum  and  Prison  buildings — more  public  buildings  erected 
than  under  any  previous  administration.  The  parole  law  was  en- 
acted and  put  into  successful  operation  by  him;  and  of  the  many  pris- 


[  X       ,\  R  I  Z  O  X  A  363 

oners  who  enjoyed  its  benefits,  but  one  violated  his  parole.  Convicts 
whenever  paroled  were  required  to  work.  Governor  Hughes'  maxim 
was  that  savages  could  not  be  civilized,  nor  criminals  reformed,  with- 
out labor.  His  prison  policy  aided  much  in  the  large  reduction  re- 
ferred to  in  prison  maintenance.  The  Governor's  three  annual  reports 
to  the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  and  Congress  proved  of  great  public 
value,  as  they  contained  much  data  on  climate  and  wealth  resources 
of  the  Territory,  the  Indians  and  their  needs,  and  moral  and  pro- 
gressive character  and  interests  of  its  diversified  population.  The 
information  furnished  therein  was  the  subject  of  much  favorable 
comment  in  the  press  of  the  country.  There  were  5,000  copies  of  the 
1893  and  1894  reports  published,  and  so  great  was  the  demand  for 
these  that  of  the  report  of  1895,  containing  119  pages,  17,500  copies 
were  issued  by  the  government  and  distributed.  It  scarcely  need  be 
added  that  these  proved  a  valuable  advertising  medium  for  the  Terri- 
tory. The  Federal  law  calling  for  these  reports  requires  the  Gov- 
ernor to  give  the  general  conditions  and  make  recommendations  as  to 
Congressional  legislation  for  the  Territory,  which  opened  a  wide 
field  that  was  taken  advantage  of  by  the  Governor,  the  press  com- 
ment being  that  more  information  had  been  published  in  these  reports, 
and  recommendations  which  were  crystalized  into  law,  than  by  all  the 
governors  who  had  preceded  him.  Recommendations  were  made  for 
appropriation  for  irrigation  of  lands  of  the  Indian  reservations;  set- 
ting apart  for  allotment  lands  for  Indians  wishing  to  take  them  in  sev- 
eralty,  especially  the  Papago,  Maricopa,  Pima  and  the  Yuma  tribes; 
increasing  Indian  industrial  schools,  educating  and  training  Arizona 
Indian  children  in  the  Territory,  for  the  conservation  of  their  health 
and  to  enable  them  to  learn  local  industrial  pursuits ;  transferring 
trial  of  Indians  from  Territorial  to  United  States  courts,  and  secur- 
ing appropriations  to  meet  the  expenses  of  such  trials  had,  and  jail 
and  penitentiary  costs  of  Indian  convicts;  for  creating  forest  reserva- 
tions at  headwaters  of  Arizona  streams  and  water  supply ;  and  for 
setting  apart  the  "Petrified  Forest"  as  a  national  park.  The  Gov- 
ernor also  urged  and  finally  secured  the  passage  of  a  Congressional 
act  authorizing  the  Territory  to  lease  school  lands,  and  placing  the 
proceeds  thereof  in  the  public  school  funds.  This  law  has  been  and 
is  a  source  of  large  and  increasing  revenue  to  the  schools  of  the  State. 
He  also  encouraged  the  location  of  a  National  School  of  Science  near 
the  Grand  Canyon,  that  cluster  of  natural  phenomena.  He  urged 
many  needed  reforms,  especially  the  suppression  of  the  liquor  traffic, 
which  was  shown  to  be  the  greatest  bane  to  the  Indians — the  initial 
cause  of  our  Apache  wars,  the  cause  of  over  65  per  cent  of  Territorial 
taxation,  as  well  as  the  many  other  accompanying  evils.  He  urged 
upon  Congress  its  duty  to  Arizona  to  suppress  this  traffic.  All  of 
these  recommendations  went  before  the  country,  commended  or  con- 
demned by  the  press,  thus  creating  public  opinion,  mostly  favoring 
these  appeals.  During  his  term  as  Chancellor  of  the  University  that 


364  WHO'S    WHO 

institution  rapidly  increased  its  number  of  students,  especially  from 
residents  throughout  the  Territory.  An  important  factor  in  that 
growth  was  the  aiding  of  those  lacking  the  financial  resources  for 
securing  the  benefits  of  the  University,  by  employing  them  in  various 
departments  as  assistants,  and  allowing  compensation  for  their  ser- 
vices. The  average  number  of  these  assistants  is  twenty-five,  most 
of  whom  rank  well  as  students  and  graduates.  This  is  but  one  of 
the  various  improved  conditions  inaugurated  during  this  period.  In 
1868  Mr.  Hughes  married  Josephine  Brawley,  of  Meadville,  Penn- 
sylvania, daughter  of  John  R.  Brawley,  a  western  Pennsylvania 
farmer  of  large  political  connections  and  influence.  In  all  oi  his 
labors,  struggles  and  achievements,  Mrs.  Hughes  entered  into  the 
fullest  partnership,  and  proved  equal  to  every  emergency — developing 
the  characteristics  and  qualities  of  a  noble  heroine.  They  have  two 
living  children — a  daughter,  Mrs.  Gertrude  Woodward,  and  State 
Senator  John  T.  Hughes,  who  reflect  honor  upon  their  parents.  It  is 
but  just  that  Governor  Hughes  and  family  are  titled  "Arizona's  State 
Builders,"  to  which  they  have  given  more  than  forty  years  of  service, 
facing  through  it  all  the  most  strenuous  opposition  of  evil  forces, 
which  they  met  with  that  fearlessness  born  of  the  secret  powers 
within.  Now,  at  the  sunset  of  life,  they  realize  that  their  faithful 
service  has  already  borne  much  fruit,  which  will  yield  a  thou^and- 
fold  to  the  citizenship  yet  unborn  of  the  (to  be)  great,  the  good,  the 
grand  Commonwealth  of  Arizona,  out  of  which  will  issue  not  only 
millions  of  material  wealth,  but  a  people  whose  characters  will  be 
lustrous  as  statesmen,  poets,  philosophers,  prophets  and  altruists  in  the 
broadest  sense  of  the  terms. 


LEWIS  T.  CARPENTER,  Assistant  Attorney  General  of  the  State  of 
Arizona,  is  a  native  of  Tennessee,  although  he  was  raised  in  the 
great  State  of  Texas,  and  is,  in  fact,  a  Texan.  He  received  his 
academic  education  at  Trinity  University  and  studied  law  in  the 
University  of  Texas;  was  admitted  to  the  bar  at  Corsicana,  Texas, 
at  the  age  of  twenty-two  and  was,  during  the  same  year,  elected  to 
the  office  of  County  Attorney  of  that  county.  At  the  close  of  his 
term  of  office  he  removed  to  Dallas,  Texas,  and  engaged  in  the  prac- 
tice of  law  there  until  the  time  of  his  removal  to  Arizona.  Mr.  Car- 
penter's arrival  in  Arizona  and  his  entrance  into  Arizona  politics 
were  identical  as  at  the  time  he  arrived  in  the  city  of  Phoenix  with 
his  family  from  Texas,  the  campaign  for  statehood  was  on  and  with- 
in two  or  three  days  after  the  date  of  his  arrival  he  was  on  the 
stump  for  the  Democratic  ticket  and  continued  to  work  faithfully 
until  the  close  of  the  campaign  ;  the  Democrats  carried  the  state  and 
Mr.  Carpenter  was  accredited  as  one  of  those  who  had  been  of 
great  assistance  in  bringing  about  this  result.  He  was  soon  after- 
wards appointed  Assistant  Attorney  General,  which  position  he  has

held  since  the  entrance  of  Arizona  as  a  state.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  firm  of  Bullard  <$:  Carpenter,  one  of  the  leading  firms  of  the 
state.  Mr.  Carpenter's  family  consists  of  his  wife  and  three  chil- 
dren. He  is  connected  with  some  of  the  prominent  financial  insti- 
tutions of  the  state  and  believes  in  boosting;  Arizona  at  all  times  and 
has  great  faith  in  its  future  from  a  political  and  material  standpoint. 
He  has,  in  the  office  of  the  Attorney  General,  achieved  an  enviable 
reputation  as  a  lawyer  and  is  one  of  the  most  popular  members  of 
the  Arizona  bar. 


JOHX    T.    HUGHES,    Senator   from    Pima    County,   was   born    in 
Tucson  in   1874,  and  is  the  son  of  L.  C.  and  Josephine  B.  Hughes, 
two  pioneer  State  builders.       At  the  age  of  six,  with  his  sister  Ger- 
trude, he  was  sent  to  Snell's  School,  Oakland,  California,  and  two 
years  afterward   was  entered   in   Beck's   Family   School   for   Boys,  a 
Moravian  institution,  Lititz,   Pennsylvania,  where  he  remained   four 
years.      He  next  attended  Freehold  Academy  in  New  Jersey,  from 
which  he  was  graduated,  and  then  took  up  the  study  of  law  in  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  Philadelphia.       After  admission  to  prac- 
tice he  went  to  Chicago  and  engaged  in  his  profession  for  two  years, 
then  was  urged  to  come  to  Tucson  and  take  a  course  in  newspaper  and 
journalistic  experience,  which  he  did  with  the  "Star,"   in  which  he 
was  financially  interested.       His  first  taste  of  politcal  life  was  as  Page 
of  the  First  Constitutional  Convention  in  1891.       He  was  then  pri- 
vate secretary  to  his  father,  during  part  of  his  administration  as  Terri- 
torial Governor,    and    later    Superintendent    of    Schools    for    Pima 
County.        In   1894,  with  his  mother,  Territorial   President  of  the 
Suffrage  forces  in  Arizona,  and  a  warm  personal  friend  of  Aunt  Susan 
B.  Anthony,  he  attended  the  National  Suffrage  Convention  at  Wash- 
ington, D.  C.       Miss  Anthony,  observing  John  enter  the  hall  with  his 
mother,  captured  and  took  him  to  the  platform  and  introduced  him  to 
the  vast  audience  as  the  son  of  Governor  and  Mrs.  L.  C.  Hughes,  life 
champions  of  Equal  Rights,  and  John  a  native  son  of  Arizona,  wrhom 
she  then  dedicated  the  "Suffrage  Knight  of  Arizona,"  predicting  his 
sterling  loyalty  to  the  faith  of  father  and  mother.       Senator  Hughes 
has  well  fulfilled  this  prediction  in  his  advocacy  on  the  platform,  in 
the  press  and  all  public  places.       He  introduced  the  resolution  in  the 
First  State  Senate  proposing  a  constitutional  amendment  enfranchising 
Arizona's  womanhood.        The   issue   then    came     before   the   people 
through  the   initiative,  which   resulted    in   the  adoption  of   the  Consti- 
tutional Amendment  by  a  large  majority,  his  home  county,  the  storm 
center  of  the   fight,   having  voted   two   to   one   for   the   amendment. 
Politically  Mr.   Hughes  is  a  Democrat  and  entered  political  life  in 
western  Pennsylvania  in  Bryan's  first  campaign,  during  which  he  or- 
ganized Democratic  clubs  and  made  over  one  hundred  speeches.       He 
is  a  member  of  the  Pima  County  Central  Committee,  and  of  the  State

Central  and  Executive  Committees.  At  the  first  State  election  he 
was  elected  Senator  from  Pima  Count}',  in  which  capacity  he  wielded 
a  marked  influence.  He  has  given  much  study  to  governmental 
affairs,  and  is  well  acquainted  with  public  men  and  measures.  Sen- 
ator Hughes  has  served  as  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Suffrage 
and  Elections,  and  Printing  and  Clerks;  and  as  member  of  the  Ju- 
diciary, Appropriations,  Constitutional  Amendments  and  Municipal 
Corporations  committees.  During  the  first  and  second  sessions  he 
introduced  and  put  through  many  bills,  all  of  which  are  conceded  to 
be  of  advantage  to  the  State,  one  of  which  is  the  State  Weights  and 
Measures  ordinance,  which  he  urged  as  a  just  and  equitable  measure, 
to  prevent  the  short  weighing  of  goods  and  merchandise.  Among 
others  of  importance  was  a  resolution  ratifying  the  income  tax  amend- 
ment to  the  Constitution  of  the  United  States,  and  Arizona  was  the 
twenty-ninth  State  to  ratify  the  amendment.  Also  the  following 

r  . 

Acts:  Providing  for  the  taxation  of  gifts,  legacies  and  inheritances; 
an  obligatory  indeterminate  sentence  law,  with  parole  principle ;  pro- 
viding for  the  publicity  of  campaign  expenses  before  and  after  the 
primary  and  election ;  providing  for  an  endowment  of  three  hundred 
thousand  acres  of  land  for  the  College  of  Agriculture  and  the  School 
of  Mines  for  the  University  of  Arizona;  a  comprehensive  primary 
election  law;  providing  severe  penalties  for  tampering  with  switch 
lights  on  railroads.  This  much,  and  more,  stands  to  his  credit  for 
the  first  session.  During  the  next  session  he  introduced  and  had 
passed,  among  other  important  laws:  An  act  providing  for  the  con- 
struction and  maintenance  of  municipal  slaughter  houses  in  cities  of 
three  thousand  or  more  population,  where  all  animals  are  to  be  in- 
spected before  killing,  and  slaughter  houses  to  be  maintained  under 
sanitary  conditions;  an  act  permitting  the  sale  of  lands  to  the  Car- 
negie Desert  Laboratory ;  an  act  authorizing  the  removal  of  the  State 
Industrial  School  from  Benson  to  the  Fort  Grant  Military  Reserva- 
tion ;  an  act  authorizing  incorporated  cities  to  issue  bonds  for  the 
purpose  of  constructing  sanitary  sewers ;  an  act  to  provide  punish- 
ment for  contempt  of  court;  an  act  relating  to  the  reorganization  of 
the  Arizona  Pioneers'  Home;  an  appropriation  for  the  benefit  of  the 
Arizona  Historical  Society;  a  bill  providing  for  an  appropriation  of 
$150,000  for  an  agricultural  building  for  the  University  of  Arizona, 
and  appropriations  for  agricultural  education  and  experimental  work. 
These  items  were  placed  in  the  general  appropriation  bill  and  passed. 
Acts  authorizing  the  working  of  convicts  on  public  roads,  highways  and 
bridges,  and  a  bill  authorizing  the  purchase  of  a  prison  farm.  He  also 
introduced  the  following  bills,  which  were  passed  by  the  Senate,  but 
defeated  in  the  House:  Providing  that  all  State,  County  and  City 
printing  should  be  done  within  the  State ;  providing  for  the  working 
eight  hours  a  day  for  the  prisoners  in  County  and  City  jails  on  the 
roads,  streets  and  parks;  making  it  a  felony  to  practice  third  degree 
on  persons  charged  with  crime;  permitting  the  probating  of  wills  dur-

ing  the  lifetime  of  the  testator;  submitting  to  a  vote  of  the  people  an 
amendment  to  the  present  miners'  lien  law;  prohibiting  the  sale  of 
cigarettes,  cigars  and  tobacco  to  minors  under  eighteen  years  of  age ; 
creating  the  office  of  Public  Defender  in  the  various  counties  of  the 
State;  creating  Bureau  of  Legislative  Research.  He  also  introduced 
a  joint  memorial  to  Congress  urging  the  granting  of  independence  to 
the  Philippines,  and  a  resolution  for  a  constitutional  amendment  abol- 
ishing capital  punishment.  It  will  be  observed  from  the  character  of 
the  foregoing  bills,  that  Senator  Hughes  works  entirely  on  con- 
structive and  reformatory  lines.  He  is  a  citizen  of  much  civic  pride; 
has  taken  an  active  interest  in  the  educational,  moral  and  material 
welfare  for  many  years  of  the  Territory  of  Arizona,  and  now  of  the 
Commonwealth.  His  pride  as  a  native  son  of  Arizona  excites  his 
highest  ambition  for  the  present  and  future  of  his  State.  He  believes 
that  its  future  bids  fair  to  outstrip  all  the  States  of  the  Union,  in 
material  prosperity  and  in  the  high  and  progressive  character  of  its 
citizenship.  As  a  mark  of  appreciation  of  his  public  service,  he  was 
unanimously  elected  honorary  member  of  the  Society  of  Arizona  Pi- 
oneers, being  the  first  native-born  citizen  thus  honored. 


ALBINUS  A.  WORSLEY,  Senator  from  Pima  County,  and  attorney- 
at-law,  is  known  as  the  "Champion  of  Labor  and  Labor  Legislation," 
by  the  workingmen  of  Arizona,  of  whom  he  has  always  been  a  friend. 
When  one  of  the  unions  anywhere  in  the  State  becomes  involved  in  a 
law  suit,  Colonel  Worsley  is  almost  invariably  called  into  consulta- 
tion. He  has  been  uniformly  successful  in  the  practice  of  his  pro- 
fession, and  especially  in  cases  where  he  represented  labor,  his  policy 
being  never  to  take  a  case  into  court  if  the  grounds  do  not  justify  such 
action.  There  is  not  a  man  in  the  State  who  has  more  friends  than 
Senator  Worsley  among  the  men  forming  the  industrial  army,  whose 
esteem  he  has  completely  won.  Senator  Worsley  was  born  in  Racine 
County,  Wisconsin,  June  24,  1869.  He  is  the  son  of  Thomas  G. 
Worsley,  a  direct  descendant  of  Oliver  Cromwell,  who  came  from 
Lancashire,  England,  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  and  became  a  pioneer 
farmer  of  Wisconsin.  Maria  Shields,  his  mother,  came  from  Queens 
County,  Ireland,  at  the  age  of  seven  years.  Senator  Worsley  was 
graduated  from  the  Northern  Indiana  Law  School  in  1900,  and  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  of  that  State  the  same  year.  The  next  year  he 
took  a  post-graduate  course  in  the  Chicago  College  of  Law,  was 
admitted  to  the  bar  in  Illinois,  and  the  following  year  went  to 
Nebraska,  was  admitted  to  practice  and  followed  his  profession  there 
until  his  coming  to  Arizona  in  1904.  He  located  in  Tucson,  which 
has  since  been  his  home.  At  the  age  of  twenty-four  Mr.  Worsley 
was  candidate  on  the  Labor  and  Populist  ticket  for  Governor  of  Wis- 
consin, while  at  the  early  age  of  nineteen  he  made  a  tour  through  the 
eastern  States  for  the  Chicago  Single  Tax  Club,  and  even  at  that  time 


370 


WHO     S      W  H  O 


was  widely  known  as  an  orator.  He  helped  organize  the  first  Direct 
Legislation  League  in  the  United  States,  in  St.  Louis,  in  1891.',  and 
has  ever  since  been  one  of  its  national  organizers.  At  various  times  he 
has  campaigned  the  States  of  Ohio,  Illinois,  Wisconsin,  South  Dakota 
and  Nebraska,  for  such  men  as  "Golden  Rule"  Jones,  Pettigrew  and 
Governor  Altgeld,  when  the  latter  made  his  successful  run  for  that 
office  in  Illinois.  Mr.  Worsley  is  author  of  "Corporation  Rates  in 
the  National  Corn  Crib,"  which  was  published  in  1896,  and  "The 
First  Step  in  the  National  Progress,  or  Direct  Legislation,"  which 
was  published  in  1899.  Since  boyhood  Senator  Worsley  has  been  an 


Albinus   A.   Worsley 


advocate  of  the  cause  of  labor,  and  to  it  he  devotes  particular  effort  in 
the  Senate.  He  is  Chairman  of  the  Labor  Commitee,  and  member 
of  the  Code,  Finance,  Judiciary,  Public  Lands,  Rules  and  Style, 
Revision  and  Compilation  Committees.  In  1904  he  was  married  to 
Miss  Alice  J.  Major,  also  a  native  of  Wisconsin.  They  have  three 
children,  Henry  George  Worsley,  Paul  Robert  and  Dorcas  Maria. 
Mrs.  Worsley  comes  from  a  family  of  scholars  and  educators.  For 
several  years  prior  to  her  marriage  she  was  one  of  the  principal 
teachers  of  the  Northern  Indiana  Normal  School,  at  Valparaiso,  the 
largest  school  of  its  kind  in  the  United  States.

Harry    Johnson 

HARRY  JOHNSON,  Representative  from  Maricopa  Count}',  was 
born  in  Atlanta,  Georgia,  October  3,  1882,  and  spent  most  of  his 
boyhood  days  on  a  plantation  in  North  Georgia.  He  was  partially 
educated  in  Tennessee,  and  taught  school  for  one  year  in  Alabama. 
He  then  entered  Cumberland  University,  and  while  a  student  there 
took  an  active  part  in  athletics  and  was  member  of  both  the  football 
and  baseball  teams.  He  was  also  President  of  the  Law  Society,  as 
high  an  honor  as  a  student  can  attain  to  in  the  Law  School,  and 
member  of  the  Kappa  Sigma  Fraternity.  Having  been  graduated 
from  the  University  he  took  the  examination  and  was  admitted  to 
practice  before  the  Supreme  Court  of  Tennessee.  He  then  established 
a  practice  in  Chattanooga,  wThere  he  remained  until  his  coming  t0

Arizona,  six  years  ago.  Since  his  arrival  in  this  State,  in  addition  to 
the  practice  of  his  profession,  he  has  been  actively  interested  in  politics 
and  has  made  many  friends,  as  shown  by  the  returns  when  he  was  a 
candidate  for  the  Legislature.  At  the  primary  his  name  wTas  last  in 
alphabetical  order  in  a  list  of  nine,  and  he  advanced  from  ninth  to 
second  place.  Mr.  Johnson  has  the  distinction  of  having  made  the 
first  speech  on  the  floor  of  the  House  in  the  First  State  Legislature, 
when,  at  the  fall  of  the  gavel,  he  secured  the  floor  and  placed  in  nom- 
ination for  temporary  speaker  Andrew  R.  Lynch  of  Graham  County. 
In  the  first  session  of  the  Legislature  Mr.  Johnson  introduced  a  bill 
that  exempts  the  producer  of  anything  in  Arizona  from  paying  a 
license  for  the  sale  thereof  in  the  State,  which  is  now  a  law.  In  the 
special  session  Mr.  Johnson  served  as  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Constitutional  Amendments  and  Referendum,  and  as  member  of  the 
following  committees:  Judiciary,  Corporation,  Militia  and  Public 
Defense,  and  Code  Revision. 


HARTWELL  HENDERSON  LINNEY,  Speaker  of  the  House  in  the 
Special  Session  of  the  First  State  Legislature,  is  a  native  of  Danville, 
Ky.  He  was  graduated  in  1902  from  Centre  College,  Danville,  and 
later  from  the  Law  Department  of  the  Central  University  of  Ken- 
tucky, was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  that  state  and  has  also  been  admit- 
ted to  practice  before  the  Supreme  Court  of  Arizona.  Mr.  Linney  is 
one  of  the  ablest  of  the  younger  lawyers  of  the  state  and  is  engaged 
in  general  practice  at  Prescott.  His  acquaintance  and  practice 
throughout  the  state  are  both  extensive,  he  has  a  strong,  attractive 
personality  and  keen  legal  ability,  and  has  established  a  splendid 
reputation  for  uprightness  and  integrity.  He  is  vice  president  of  the 
Northern  Arizona  Bar  Association,  is  a  progressive  Democrat,  be- 
lieving in  good  laws  and  good  government,  and  in  purity  of  politics. 
He  is  a  strong  advocate  of  the  Good  Roads  Movement  and  a  willing 
aid  to  all  deserving  plans  for  the  upbuilding  of  the  state  or  the  ad- 
vertising of  its  resources  and  climatic  conditions  among  the  resi- 
dents of  other  states.  He  has,  in  fact,  thoroughly  identified  himself 
with  the  people  of  Arizona,  particularly  with  those  of  his  own 
county,  and  the  people  of  Yavapai  showed  their  confidence  in  him 
and  their  high  regard  for  him  by  their  vote  when  he  was  candidate 
for  representative  to  the  First  State  Legislature.  Mr.  Linney  is  an 
enthusiastic  worker  in  the  Prescott  Chamber  of  Commerce,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Yavapai  Club  and  of  the  Sigma  Chi  fraternity.  He 
brought  to  the  legislature  a  valuable  experience,  excellent  education 
and  exceptional  energy,  and  in  the  first  session  served  on  some  of  the 
most  important  committees,  while  as  Speaker  he  has  amply  proven 
his  merit.  Mr.  Linney  was  married  in  August,  1911,  to  Miss  Ethel 
Wood,  of  Greenville,  111.,  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Illinois 
and  a  charming  young  woman  who  has  become  socially  popular  in 
Prescott  and  vicinity.

Louis  H.  CHALMERS,  senior  member  of  the  firm  _of  Chalmers  & 
Kent,  one  of  the  strongest  in  the  foremost  ranks  of  the  legal  profession 
in  Arizona,  is  a  descendant  of  a  family  of  Scotch  origin,  who  were 
among  the  early  settlers  of  Virginia  and  South  Carolina,  three  genera- 
tions preceeding  Mr.  Chalmers  having  been  born  in  South  Carolina. 
His  grandfather  early  removed  to  Ohio,  and  was  one  of  the  pioneer 
merchants  of  Xenia  until  the  Civil  War,  when  he  enlisted  as  Lieu- 
tenant of  the  Seventy-fifth  Ohio  Volunteer  Infantry.  He  died  in 
Camp  Chase  in  1861.  In  the  same  year  Louis  H.  Chalmers  was 
born,  in  Jamestown,  Ohio,  of  which  town  his  mother  was  also  a 
native.  When  Louis  was  but  four  years  old  his  mother  removed  to 
Iowa,  and  he  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  that  State,  with 
the  exception  of  the  High  School  course,  which  he  took  in  Jamestown, 
Ohio.  For  several  years  he  was  editor  of  a  paper  in  Ohio,  during 
which  time  he  took  up  the  study  of  law.  In  the  fall  of  1883  he 
entered  the  Cincinnati  Law  School  as  a  senior,  and  was  graduated 
LL.  B.  the  next  year.  He  immediately  came  west  to  practice  his 
profession,  and  located  in  Phoenix,  where  he  has  since  been  success- 
fully engaged,  and  in  addition  to  his  private  practice  he  has  served  as 
attorney  for  many  of  the  important  concerns  of  that  section.  He  has 
also  served  as  City  Attorney  several  terms,  and  was  one  of  Maricopa 
County's  representatives  in  the  16th  Legislature.  During  this 
session  he  was  chairman  of  the  Judiciary  Committee  and  member  of 
other  important  ones.  Mr.  Chalmers  is  a  Democrat,  an  interested 
worker  for  his  party,  and  has  been  Secretary  of  the  County  Central 
Committee.  Socially,  as  professionally,  he  has  many  friends.  The 
establishment  of  the  firm  of  Chalmers  &  Kent  has  meant  the  associa- 
tion of  two  of  the  State's  keenest  attorneys,  both  of  whom  have 
attained  distinction  at  the  bar  and  in  official  life,  men  of  special  apti- 
tude for  their  chosen  profession.  Mr.  Chalmers  was  married  in 
Phoenix  to  Miss  Laura  E.  Coates,  a  native  of  Iowa,  and  graduate  of 
a  Los  Angeles  Academy. 


EDWARD  KENT,  Chief  Justice  of  the  last  Territorial  Supreme  Court, 
was  born  in  Lynn,  Mass.,  August  8,  1862.  His  father,  Edward  Kent, 
who  was  elected  Governor  of  Maine  in  1868,  was  mentioned  in  the 
famous  political  song  written  about  that  time,  "Have  You  Heard  the 
News  from  Maine?"  His  mother  was  formerly  Miss  Abby  Rock- 
wood.  Judge  Kent  was  a  student  at  Harvard,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  in  1883  with  an  A.  B.  degree,  and  studied  law  at  Columbia 
University,  from  which  he  was  graduated  LL.  B.  in  1887.  In  the 
latter  year  he  was  admitted  to  the  Bar  in  the  State  of  New  York,  and 
immediately  engaged  in  the  practice  of  his  profession  in  New  York 
City.  In  1893  he  became  a  member  of  the  law  firm  of  Butler,  Still- 
man  &  Hubbard,  of  New  York  City,  with  whom  he  was  associated 
until  1896.  In  1897  he  removed  to  Denver,  where  he  lived  for  five

years.  In  1900  he  was  candidate  on  the  Republican  ticket  for  mem- 
ber of  the  House  of  Representatives  of  Colorado,  and  served  as  As- 
sistant U.  S.  District  Attorney  of  Colorado  during  1901  and  1902. 
Judge  Kent  came  to  Arizona  in  1902,  the  same  year  was  chosen  Chief 
Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  Territory,  and  served  until  Ari- 
zona became  a  State.  He  is  now  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Kent  & 
Chalmers,  of  Phoenix,  well  known  attorneys.  On  September  14, 
1893,  Judge  Kent  was  married  to  Miss  Edith  Chadwick,  of  Balti- 
more, Maryland. 


GEORGE  J.  STOXEMAX,  of  the  firm  of  Stoneman  &  Ling,  of  Phoe- 
nix, was  born  at  Petersburg,  Virginia,  May  4,  1868.  His  early  life, 
however,  was  spent  in  California,  where  the  family  had  removed,  and 
there  he  attended  the  public  schools.  He  then  attended  the  University 
of  Michigan  and  was  graduated  from  the  Law  Department  in  1889. 
His  first  practice  was  conducted  in  Seattle,  Washington,  where  he  re- 
mained several  years,  during  two  of  which  he  served  as  City  Clerk. 
In  1894  he  went  to  Honolulu,  practiced  a  year  there,  and  returning  to 
the  United  States,  came  to  Arizona,  located  in  Globe  and  at  once  be- 
came closely  identified  with  the  interests  of  this  section.  His  practice 
from  the  beginning  was  successful,  he  soon  became  legal  representa- 
tive of  two  of  the  large  mining  companies  of  that  district,  interested  in 
mining  on  his  own  account  and  prominent  in  political  affairs.  He  was 
appointed  to  fill  an  unexpired  term  as  District  Attorney,  and  was 
elected  to  the  same  office  at  the  election  in  November,  1900,  on  the 
Democratic  ticket.  While  acting  in  this  capacity  he  demonstrated 
his  ability  in  a  legal  way  and  his  aptitude  for  the  administration  of 
public  affairs.  He  also  served  as  Territorial  Railway  Commissioner 
and  member  of  the  Board  of  Law  Examiners.  Mr.  Stoneman  is  the 
son  of  General  George  Stoneman,  a  man  of  exceptional  attainments, 
undisputed  honor  and  of  high  standing  in  the  army.  He  received  his 
military  education  at  West  Point  and  attained  the  rank  of  General 
during  the  Civil  War,  in  which  he  fought  in  the  cause  of  the  Union. 
He  was  later  in  life  placed  on  the  retired  list.  In  politics  General 
Stoneman  was  equally  distinguished,  having  been  elected  Governor  of 
California  in  1883,  and  his  administration  was  a  substantial  evidence 
of  his  superior  and  well-directed  judgment.  He  died  in  New  York 
in  1894,  having  lived  there  several  years  previously.  George  J. 
Stoneman  removed  from  Globe  to  Phoenix  in  1911  and  established 
the  present  partnership  with  Mr.  Ling,  and  the  firm  of  Stoneman  & 
Ling  is  one  of  the  leading  ones  in  the  profession  in  Maricopa  County. 
Mr.  Stoneman  is  actively  connected  with  the  Masons  and  Elks,  and 
is  a  member  of  the  Society  of  Cincinnati  of  Maryland.  He  is  also 
a  member  of  the  Arizona  Bar  Association,  of  which  he  has  served  as 
President.  He  married  Miss  Julia  S.  Hamrn.

REESE  M.  LING,  Attorney-at-Law,  Phoenix,  member  of  the  firm 
of  Stoneman  &  Ling,  was  born  in  Holmes  County,  Ohio,  May  16, 
1868.  He  is  the  only  child  of  Martin  and  Mary  Reese  Ling,  both 
natives  of  Ohio.  His  father  was  engaged  in  farming,  and  was  one 
of  the  first  to  respond  to  Lincoln's  call  for  volunteers,  having  served 
until  Lee's  surrender.  He  was  wounded  at  the  battle  of  Ball's 
Bluff,  later  captured  and  confined  in  Libby  Prison  eighteen  months, 
where  he  contracted  an  illness  that  eventually  resulted  in  his  death 
at  his  Ohio  home.  Reese  Ling  attended  the  public  schools,  and  at 
the  early  age  of  fourteen  entered  the  State  University  at  Columbus, 
which  he  attended  for  three  years.  In  1885  he  came  to  Arizona, 
entered  the  Tempe  Normal  School,  and  was  graduated  in  twenty-two 
weeks  and  qualified  to  teach  in  the  public  schools  of  the  Territory. 
During  his  course  of  study  at  the  Normal,  however,  he  had  been 
instructor  in  mathematics  and  Latin,  and  after  his  graduation  began 
teaching  at  Prescott,  was  thus  employed  for  two  years,  and  in  the 
meantime  had  taken  up  the  study  of  law.  He  then  entered  the  Law 
Department  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  in  1890,  valedictorian  of  a  class  numbering  280.  He  was 
admitted  to  practice  in  Michigan,  but  shortly  afterwrard  returned  to 
Prescott,  and  until  recently,  when  he  removed  to  Phoenix  to  enter 
into  his  present  partnership,  was  known  as  one  of  the  successful 
attorneys  of  that  city,  his  practice  extending  over  the  entire  northern 
part  of  Arizona.  Mr.  Ling  soon  became  actively  interested  in  poli- 
tics, for  years  has  been  a  recognized  force  in  the  Democratic  party, 
and  an  able  party  leader.  He  was  twice  elected  District  Attorney  of 
Yavapai  County,  and  served  many  years  as  City  Attorney  of  Prescott. 
At  the  first  State  election  he  wTas  candidate  for  United  States  Senator, 
but  was  defeated  at  the  primaries.  He  is  a  member  of  the  National 
Democratic  Committee.  Mr.  Ling  has  also  been  largely  interested 
in  mining.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Railroad  Commission  for  three 
years,  and  fraternally  is  connected  with  the  I.  O.  O.  F.,  A.  O  .U.  W., 
Elks  and  Knights  of  Pythias.  He  is  married,  his  family  consisting  of 
a  wife  and  three  sons,  one  of  whom  is  a  practicing  attorney  at  Clifton, 
Arizona,  and  another  a  lawr  student  at  the  University  of  Southern 
California. 

ELIAS  S.  CLARK,  attorney-at-law,  is  one  of  the  most  prominently 
known  attorneys  in  the  state.  He  wras  born  June  17,  1862,  in  Knox 
County,  Maine,  and  there  was  educated  in  the  public  schools.  When 
quite  young  he  came  to  Arizona,  and  studied  law  at  Flagstaff,  with 
Edward  M.  Doe  as  his  preceptor,  was  admitted  to  practice  and  opened 
an  office  there.  In  1897  he  was  elected  District  Attorney  of  Coconino 
County  and  served  one  term.  Later  he  removed  his  office  to  Prescott 
and  in  1903  he  was  elected  District  Attorney  of  Yavapai  County, 
filled  this  position  until  1905,  and  then  was  appointed  Attorney  Gen- 
eral of  the  Territory,  and  in  this  capacity  served  throughout  Governor

O.  T.  RICHEY,  Assistant  United  States  Attorney  for  Arizona,  has 
proven  by  his  continued  success  and  gradual  advancement  in  life  that 
rich  relatives  and  influential  friends  are  by  no  means  essentials  to  suc- 
cess, if  one  has  ambition  and  is  willing  to  do  his  part.  Beginning  as  a 
"kid"  to  do  odd  jobs,  such  as  selling  papers,  blacking  shoes  and  run- 
ning errands,  in  Leadville,  Colorado,  when  that  town  was  in  its 
palmy  days,  in  the  early  eighties,  he  has  always  been  on  the  outlook  for 
opportunities.  He  ran  away  from  home  at  the  age  of  15,  going  from 
Southeastern  Kansas  to  Chicago,  and  began  work  on  a  delivery  wagon. 
He  was  soon  promoted  to  the  position  of  clerk,  and  then  to  bookkeeper 
and  accountant.  He  followed  the  mercantile  business  and  expert  ac- 
counting for  several  years,  when  he  landed  in  the  Manufacturers  Na- 
tional Bank  of  Pittsburg,  Kansas,  as  teller.  Real  estate,  loans,  insur- 
ance and  other  allied  interests  received  his  attention  for  a  time,  after 
which  he  became  affiliated  with  the  Swift  Packing  Company  as  man- 
ager of  some  of  their  eastern  branches,  and  remained  with  them  for 
several  years.  In  1898  he  came  to  Arizona  and  engaged  in  the  ice 
business  at  Tucson,  also  taking  a  fling  at  the  cattle  and  general  com- 
mission and  brokerage  business  throughout  the  southern  part  of  the 
state.  Here  for  the  first  time  he  mixed  in  politics,  and  during  the  past 
fifteen  years  has  held  many  political  and  other  positions  of  trust.  Here 
also  he  took  up  the  study  of  law,  wTas  admitted  to  practice  in  the 
Supreme  and  Federal  Courts,  and  in  the  practice  of  his  chosen  profes- 
sion his  wide  and  comprehensive  experience  in  almost  every  important 
line  of  business  has  afforded  him  a  training  which  enables  him  to  ably 
cope  with  the  intricate  problems  constantly  met  by  an  attorney.  This 
training  and  his  strong  characteristics  have  on  many  occasions  been  a 
powerful  aid  in  the  duties  devolving  upon  him  in  the  responsible  posi- 
tions with  which  he  has  been  honored.  His  untiring  energy  and  un- 
swerving honesty  of  purpose  have  earned  for  him  a  reputation  which 
resulted  in  his  selection  by  Honorable  George  W.  Wickersham,  to  his 
present  position,  Assistant  United  States  Attorney  for  the  state.  He 
is  a  Progressive  Taft  Republican  in  politics.  He  is  a  32nd  Degree 
Mason,  and  has  held  high  offices  in  Masonry,  as  wrell  as  in  the  Elks, 
I.  O.  O.  F.,  K.  of  P.,  and  A.  O.  U.  W.  organizations,  and  is  also  a 
former  member  of  the  National  Guard.  Mr.  Richer  married  Miss 
Bertha  Marsh  Judd,  of  Quebec,  Canada,  and  to  the  union  two  child- 
ren, Alice  H.  and  George  J.,  have  been  born.  From  bootblack  to  the 
important  position  of  Assistant  United  States  Attorney  is  a  long  jump, 
but  the  many  friends  of  O.  T.  Richey  think  he  is  still  on  the  "spring 
board"  of  his  career.

JOHN  C.  FOREST,  Assistant  United  States  District  Attorney  for 
Arizona,  was  born  on  a  farm  near  Wausau,  Wisconsin.  His  father, 
Peter  N.  Forest,  was  a  sawmill  man  who  cleared  his  land  after  the 
timber  had  been  removed  and  established  a  farm  in  the  midst  of  the 
wilderness.  Mr.  Forest  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Wau- 
sau,  and  shortly  after  having  been  graduated  from  the  high  school, 
came  to  Arizona.  He  reached  here  in  1889,  and  engaged  in  teaching 
for  some  years  in  Yuma  and  Yavapai  Counties,  meanwrhile  devoting 
his  leisure  time  to  the  study  of  law.  He  completed  the  course  in  the

built  up  a  nice  practice,  and  won  recognition  in  the  profession  in  the 
State.  He  served  one  term  as  Assistant  District  Attorney  of  Yavapai 
under  Robert  E.  Morrison,  and  in  February,  1910,  Attorney  General 
Wickersham  appointed  him  Assistant  to  United  States  District  Attor- 
ney Joseph  E.  Morrison.  His  associations  in  these  positions  have 
been  of  distinct  political  value  in  a  professional  way,  and  Mr.  Forest 
has  made  the  most  of  the  opportunities  presented.  Mr.  Forest  is  a 
Republican  and  a  member  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.  He  is  Past  Exalted 
Ruler  of  Lodge  No.  330,  at  Prescott.  Mr.  Forest  is  married  and  has

JOHN"  W.  TOMPSOX,  Attorney  at  Law,  was  born  in  Scott  County, 
Kentucky,  January  21,  1861.  He  was  educated  in  the  public 
schools  in  his  home  county  and  at  Georgetown  College,  studied  law 
in  the  office  of  Judge  Lafayette  Davvson,  of  Maryville,  Missouri,  and 
wras  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Atchinson  County  in  October,  1885. 
Since  then  he  has  continuously  been  in  the  practice  of  his  profession, 
until  very  recently  in  Missouri,  as  he  located  in  Phoenix,  Arizona,  in 
the  early  fall  of  1912.  During  his  residence  in  Missouri  Mr. 
Tompson  attained  much  prominence  in  his  profession,  ranking  among 
the  able  attorneys  of  the  State  and  being  well  known  in  the  various 
legal  associations.  His  record  in  Arizona  in  a  professional  way  is 
necessarily  rather  limited,  but  as  a  booster  of  the  State,  and  of  Phoenix 
especially,  he  has  already  established  a  reputation  founded  on  fact. 
Having  come  here  on  a  business  trip  a  short  time  ago,  Mr.  Tompson 
was  so  strongly  impressed  in  favor  of  Phoenix,  its  climate  and  general 
outlook,  that  he  decided  to  make  it  his  permanent  residence,  and, 
with  Mrs.  Tompson  returned  in  a  short  time  for  this  purpose. 
They  have  made  their  home  at  1608  W.  Monroe  Street.  Mr. 
Tompson  has  opened  an  office  and  during  his  short  stay  has  been  un- 
usually successful  in  becoming  acquainted  in  the  business  world  and 
establishing  a  practice.  He  is  a  Democrat  and  has  held  various 
positions  of  honor  at  his  former  home,  having  been  Chairman  of  the 
County  Central  Committee,  member  of  the  State  Committee,  alternate 
delegate  to  the  National  Convention  at  St.  Louis,  and  delegate  to  the 
State  Convention  for  many  years.  He  has  also  served  as  Probate 
Judge  and  Prosecuting  Attorney,  and  served  as  Special  Judge  of 
Circuit  Court  on  a  number  of  occasions.  In  1901  he  was  Chairman 
of  the  Democratic  Congressional  Convention  at  St.  Joseph,  Missouri, 
and  lacked  but  one  vote  of  securing  the  nomination  for  Congress  at 
that  Convention.  Fraternally  he  is  also  well  connected,  being  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Masons,  Elks,  and  Venerable  Consul  of  the  M.  W.  A. 
Mr.  Tompson  has  two  sons.  Warren  V.  and  George  H.  Tompson. 
His  younger  son,  George  H.,  is  married  and  now  a  resident  of  Phoe- 
nix, where  he  is  employed  by  The  Phoenix  Hardware  Supply  Com-

George  W.   Cass 


GEORGE  W.  CASS,  attorney-at-law,  was  born  in  Coshocton,  Ohio, 
in  1852.  His  father,  Abner  L.  Cass,  was  a  physician,  and  his  mother 
was  a  descendant  of  Dr.  Joseph  Kerr,  one  of  the  noted  pioneer  min- 
isters of  the  Presbyterian  faith  in  the  vicinity  of  Pittsburg,  Pa.  The 
history  of  the  Cass  family  in  this  country  dates  back  to  colonial  times 
and  Jonathan  Cass,  great  grandfather  of  George  W.  Cass,  was  Major 
in  a  New  Hampshire  regiment  during  the  Revolution.  Lewis  Cass, 
Democratic  nominee  for  the  Presidency  of  the  United  States,  who  was 
defeated  through  Van  Buren's  treachery,  was  his  uncle.  Another 
uncle,  George  W.  Cass,  was  a  prominent  railroad  man  and  president 
of  the  Pittsburg,  Fort  Wayne  &  Chicago  Railroad  before  it  was 
leased  by  the  Pennsylvania,  and  was  also  first  president  of  the  Adams 
Express  Company.  Mr.  Cass's  father  was  State  Senator  in  Ohio  for 
many  terms.  Mr.  Cass  was  graduated  from  Kenyon  College  and  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  A.  B.  and  afterwards  received  the  degree  of  A.

Phi  Delta  Phi,  and  Phi  Beta  Kappa  fraternities,  the  last  named  being 
composed  entirely  of  honor  men.  Mr.  Cass  was  admitted  to  the  bar 
in  Illinois  and  practiced  his  profession  principally  in  corporation  and 
real  estate  law,  in  Chicago  from  1874  to  1902,  when  he  disposed  of 
his  practice  there  to  come  to  Arizona.  He  reached  this  state  in  1903, 
and  for  some  years  devoted  his  attention  exclusively  to  mining  inter- 
ests, when  he  entered  the  legal  field  and  he  has  now  an  ex- 
cellent practice  along  the  same  lines  as  practiced  in  Chicago, 
with  mining  law  in  addition.  Mr.  Cass  is  not  actively  interested  in 
politics  and  refused  to  allow  his  name  to  be  entered  at  the  primary 
election  as  candidate  for  Superior  Judge  of  Cochise  County.  Mr. 
Cass  is  a  Presbyterian  and  was  Trustee  of  the  second  oldest  Presby- 
terian Church  in  Chicago,  which  is  now  the  strongest  one  of  that  faith 
in  the  city.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Iroquois,  University,  Calu- 
met, Chicago  Literary,  and  the  20th  Century  Club,  the  latter  a  club 
formed  with  a  view  to  having  lectures  by  the  most  prominent  literary 
men  of  the  day.  Mrs.  Cass  was  Miss  Rebecca  J.  Osborne,  whose 
parents  are  both  natives  of  England.  In  Douglas,  their  home  city, 
she  is  well  known  and  popular  in  social  and  club  circles,  and  is  a 
woman  of  charming  personality.  They  have  two  daughters,  Mrs. 
Walter  H.  Petersen,  wife  of  an  attorney  of  Davenport,  Iowa;  and 
Mrs.  Albert  J.  Hopkins,  Jr.,  Chicago,  whose  husband  is  son  of  U.  S. 
Senator  Hopkins.

Board  of  Freeholders  of  Douglas,  Assistant  District  Attorney  of 
Cochise  County,  and  Chairman  of  the  Republican  Territorial  Cen- 
tral Committee.  In  1906  he  was  appointed  United  States  Com- 
missioner at  Douglas,  and  has  continued  in  this  office  up  to  the  present 
time.  Seven  years  ago  Mr.  Sames  and  Mr.  George  W.  Cass 
associated  themselves  together  in  the  practice  of  law  at  Douglas, 
where  they  have  since  maintained  offices  centrally  located  and  have

FRANKLIN  IVY  Cox,  attorney  at  law,  was  born  at  Belmont,  Texas, 
December  5,  1856.  His  father,  Ivy  H.  Cox,  was  a  native  of  Virginia, 
and  a  minister  of  the  M.  E.  Church.  His  mother,  whose  maiden 
name  was  Mary  Jane  Cook,  was  a  native  of  Alabama.  In  1868  the 
family  moved  to  California  and  settled  in  San  Diego,  where  his  edu- 
cation was  received  mainly.  Mr.  Cox  tells  that  his  first  business 
venture  was  in  raising  bees  there,  in  association  with  J.  S.  Harbison, 
and  looks  back  on  the  experience  with  considerable  satisfaction.  After 
studying  law  with  Chase  &  Leach  in  San  Diego,  he  came  to  Phoenix 
in  1879,  where,  two  years  later,  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar.  In  1883 
he  married  Mrs.  Annie  Boyd,  and  they  still  make  their  home  in  Phoe- 
nix. Always  a  consistent  Democrat,  Mr.  Cox  served  four  consecutive 
terms  as  District  Attorney  of  Maricopa  County,  being  first  elected  in 
1884.  He  was  also  Judge  Advocate  General  of  Arizona  during  the 
administration  of  Governor  B.  J.  Franklin.  While  Arizona  was  a 
territory  he  was  often  urged  to  run  for  Congress,  and  upon  her  ad- 
mission as  a  state,  he  was  requested  to  become  a  candidate  for  United 
States  Senator.  He  has  declined  all  political  honors  for  many  years, 
however,  and  now  devotes  his  entire  time  to  the  practice  of  his  profes- 
sion and  to  the  raising  of  cattle,  in  which  he  is  interested.  Mr.  Cox 
is  a  Knight  Templar  and  Shriner,  being  Past  Potentate  of  El  Zaribah 
1  emple  of  the  Mystic  Shrine,  and  is  also  a  member  of  many  social 
clubs,  among  them  the  Arizona,  the  California  and  the  Jonathan 
Clubs,  the  latter  two  of  Los  Angeles.

Annie  Chandler  Woods,  made  their  home  for  many  years.  His  father 
was  a  baker  and  confectioner  by  trade,  but  adapted  himself  to  condi- 
ditions  on  the  frontier  and  worked  as  farmer,  miner  and  stock  raiser. 
Mr.  Woods  came  to  Arizona  in  1876,  at  the  age  of  17,  having  finished

the  high  school  course  in  Utah.  He  spent  a  short  time  in  the  north- 
ern part  of  the  state,  then  went  to  Prescott  and  passed  a  teachers'  ex- 
amination. After  this  he  had  a  school  district  laid  out,  secured  an 
appropriation,  and  taught  one  of  the  first  country  schools  in  that  dis- 
trict, which  is  now  Winslow.  He  continued  as  teacher  for  eighteen 
years,  and  during  his  vacations  was  engaged  in  farming,  stock  raising 
and  lumbering,  making  the  best  of  existing  conditions.  He  was  elect-

education  within  the  state,  and  is  now  serving  his  third  term  as  Super- 
intendent of  Graham  County  Schools.  He  wTas  recently  offered  a 
position  with  a  salary  nearly  twice  as  great  as  that  which  he  receives 
at  present,  but  he  refused  to  accept  it  until  he  shall  have  fulfilled  the 
contract  which  he  made  with  the  voters  of  Graham  County  when  they 
elected  him  Superintendent  of  their  schools.  Mr.  Woods  has  also 
served  as  School  Trustee,  Mayor,  and  Justice  of  the  Peace  at  Thatch- 
er, his  home  town.  During  his  nine  years  as  Justice  but  one  case  was 
appealed  from  his  court,  and  in  that  his  decision  was  confirmed  by  the 
District  Court.  Mr.  Woods  was  united  in  marriage  with  Miss  Lo-

ality and  widely  known,  he  is  popular  throughout  the  State,  and  is  a 
strong  factor  in  the  Republican  party,  of  which  he  is  a  staunch  sup- 
porter. He  came  to  Arizona  in  1883  and  before  getting  into  school 
wrork  was  employed  as  shipping  clerk  by  some  of  the  large  lumber 
companies.

Phil    C.    Brannen 


PHIL  C.  BRANNEN,  Tucson's  leading  dealer  in  men's  clothing  and 
furnishings,  is  one  of  the  most  prominent  and  popular  men  in  the 
State,  having  been  associated  with  the  business  interests  of  a  number 
of  the  largest  towns.  Mr.  Brannen  was  born  in  the  Province  of 
Ontario,  Canada,  in  1864,  but  as  the  family  removed  to  Champaign, 
Illinois,  when  he  was  but  seven  years  old,  he  has  been  brought  up  and 
educated  in  the  United  States.  He  attended  the  public  schools  and 
took  a  complete  business  course  at  Quincy,  Illinois,  came  west  at  the 
age  of  twenty-two,  and  was  first  employed  in  a  clerical  position. 
After  a  time  he  proceeded  to  Phoenix,  where  he  was  similarly  em-

ployed  for  five  years,  and  then  came  to  Tucson  to  take  a  position  with 
its  leading  merchants,  L.  Zeckendorf  &  Co.  After  having  been  in 
charge  of  their  clothing  department  for  four  years,  he  engaged  in 
partnership  with  Vic  Hanny,  under  the  firm  name  of  Brannen  & 
Hanny,  which  was  the  beginning  of  the  present  substantial  and  success- 
ful business  now  conducted  solely  by  Mr.  Brannen,  as  he  bought  out 
Mr.  Hanny 's  interests  in  the  firm  two  years  ago,  since  when  the  latter 
has  devoted  his  attention  to  his  similar  business  in  Phoenix.  In  addi- 
tion to  his  mercantile  business,  Mr.  Brannen  is  actively  interested  in 
various  enterprises  in  cattle,  mining  and  banking.  He  is  a  director

Mine.  He  is  also  a  stockholder  in  the  Consolidated  National  Bank, 
and  in  the  Merchants  Bank  &  Trust  Company,  of  Tucson.  Politic- 
ally Mr.  Brannen  is  a  Democrat,  but  not  actively  interested  in  party 
affairs,  and  has  never  held  an  official  position  at  their  hands,  although 
he  has  on  several  occasions  been  urged  to  allow  his  name  to  be  used  as 
a  candidate.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus,  Elks, 
Eagles,  A.  O.  U.  W.  and  Moose,  and  in  the  latter  order  one  of  the

Dorothv,  Phillis  and  Barrv. 


ARTHUR  GIBBONS  HULETT,  Secretary  of  the  Arizona  State 
Board  of  Pharmacy,  is  by  means  of  his  thoroughly  grounded  knowl- 
edge of  pharmacy  and  chemistry,  eminently  qualified  to  pass  upon 
the  eligibility  of  applicants  before  the  Board.  Mr.  Hulett  was  edu- 
cated in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  town,  Bloomfield,  Iowa, 
where  he  was  graduated  from  the  High  School.  In  1885  he  entered 
the  employ  of  Mitchell  Brothers,  leading  pharmacists  of  Bloomfield, 
as  an  apprentice,  and  served  two  years  in  that  capacity.  During  this 
time  he  received  no  salary,  but  he  did  receive  an  invaluable  knowl- 
edge of,  and  insight  into,  practical  pharmaceutical  work,  which 
formed  the  foundation  for  his  later  success.  This  was  supplemented 
by  a  private  course  in  chemistry  under  Professor  John  Grinslead. 
Having  been  registered  as  a  pharmacist  in  Iowa,  Mr.  Hulett  went  into 
business  for  himself  in  1895  at  Red  Oak,  where  he  remained  until 
January  1,  1900,  then  came  to  Arizona.  He  located  in  Phoenix  and 
became  junior  member  of  the  firm  of  Elvey  &  Hulett,  of  which  he  is 
also  manager.  Mr.  Hulett  has  been  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Phar- 
macy since  its  organization  in  1903,  having  been  appointed  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Territorial  Board  by  Governor  Brodie,  and  at  the  first 
meeting  of  the  newly  appointed  Board  was  elected  Secretary,  which 
position  he  has  since  held.  Mr.  Hulett  is  a  descendant  of  Thomas

company  is  noted  throughout  the  west  as  a  firm  which  imports  only 
the  best  animals  obtainable  and  the  products  of  their  flocks  are  found 
throughout  the  state,  and  in  this  manner  the  general  grade  of  the 
sheep  of  the  state  is  being  improved. 

Mr.  Grimes  married  Miss  Emma  Ray  of  Colorado  in  1904,  and 
to  the  union  have  been  born  three  children,  Lloyd  Eugene,  Gordon

James  and  Elvira  Webster  Morrill.     His  early  training  was  in  the 
public  schools  of  his  native  town  and  in  1896  he  entered  the  Massa- 
chusetts Agricultural   College.      In    1900   he   received   the   degree  of 
B.  S.   from  this  institution,  also  from  Boston  University.     For  fur- 
ther preparation   in  his  chosen   profession   Mr.   Morrill   devoted   the 
next  three  years  to  study  and  research  in  entomology,  zoology  and 
botany,  completing  his  thesis  and  receiving  the  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Philosophy  in  June,   1903,   from  the  graduate     department     of  the 
Massachusetts  Agricultural  College.     He  was  immediately  appointed 
a  field  agent  of  the  Bureau  of   Entomology,  U.   S.   Department  of 
Agriculture,   and   continued    in    the   government   service    for   a   little 
over   six   years.      For   three   years   he   was   stationed    in   Texas   and 
traveled  extensively  through  Mexico  and  the  southern  states  in  con- 
nection  writh   investigations  of  the   Mexican   cotton  boll  w^eevil   and 
other  cotton  pests.     In  July,  1906,  he  was  placel  in  charge  of  citrus 
white   fly   investigations   and   established    the   government   laboratory

simplified   system   of   fumigating  citrus   trees.      This   system,   known 
as  the  "Graduated  tent  system,"  was  first  employed  in  Florida  and 
is  now  generally  used   in   California  for  the  control  of  citrus  pests. 
Mr.  Morrill  is  the  author  of  numerous  government  and  state  bulle-

JOSEPH  B.  PATTERSON,  wool  grower,  merchant  and  capitalist,  is 
one  of  the  pioneer  merchants  of  Northern  Arizona,  having  opened  a 
store  in  St.  Johns,  Apache  County,  more  than  thirty  years  ago.  After 
having  been  in  business  but  a  short  time  his  store  was  destroyed  by 
fire  and  he  was  a  heavy  loser,  but  was  not  dismayed,  and  his  career 
was  by  no  means  checked  by  the  accident.  Mr.  Patterson  was  born 
in  England  in  1853,  and  came  with  his  parents  to  America  in  the 
early  sixties,  and  located  in  Mercer  County,  Pa.  Here  he  received  a 
public  school  education,  and  afterwards  went  west  and  in  Idaho,  Ne-

tor. Later  he  was  for  some  time  interested  in  the  lumber  business  in 
the  western  part  of  New  Mexico.  On  coming  to  Arizona  in  1880  he 
decided  to  locate  permanently  here,  and  has  always  taken  a  prominent 
part  in  civic,  political  and  social  affairs  in  his  vicinity,  while  in  the

By  Robert  Berg. 

COLONEL  FRED  H.  BOWLER  is  one  of  the  historic  Western  men 
whose  varied  career  goes  to  make  up  the  romance  of  the  winning  of 
the  West.  Always  playing  a  prominent  part  in  mining  and  in  public 
life  he  has  won  and  lost  several  fortunes,  but  through  it  all  has  re- 
tained that  optimism  that  is  characteristic  of  the  sturdy  pioneers  that 
have  reclaimed  and  built  the  western  empire.  Col.  Bowler  was 
born  in  Collinsville,  Illinois,  April  18,  1859.  His  father  was  John 
Westley  Bowler,  who  came  to  Arizona  when  the  Colonel  was  only 
one  year  old.  His  mother  was  Edith  Elmira  Stanton,  the  niece  of 
Edwin  S.  Stanton,  Secretary  of  War  during  Lincoln's  administration. 
In  1873  Colonel  Bowler's  father  moved  to  California,  where  he 
engaged  in  the  stock  business  and  at  one  time  was  a  partner  of  J.  B. 
Haggin.  His  son  was  educated  in  the  schools  of  California.  Young 
Fred  learned  the  trade  of  machinist  but  soon  the  fascination  of  mining 
ensnared  him  and  in  1885  he  began  his  career  as  a  miner  with  the 
Copper  Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company  in  Arizona.  From 
this  point  he  went  to  Shasta  County,  California,  where  he  made  a 
fortune  in  mining  but  lost  it  in  the  panic  of  1893.  Undaunted  by 
this  reversal  of  fortune  he  again  engaged  in  mining  but  more  as  a 
scholar,  traveling  on  the  European  continent,  in  Washington,  British 
Columbia,  Mexico,  South  America,  South  Africa  and  Siberia.  In 
every  one  of  these  places  he  studied  mining  conditions  and  methods 
and  upon  his  return  to  his  native  country  he  studied  chemistry,  sur- 
veying and  metallurgy,  thus  gaining  a  complete  and  practical  knowl- 
edge of  mining.  In  1905  he  went  to  Nevada  and  engaged  in  mining 
and  engineering  projects,  among  other  things  building  the  water 
works  system  in  Tonopah  and  Bullfrog.  He  subsequently  went  to 
Searchlight  and  made  another  fortune  wrhich  was  swept  away  in  the 
panic  of  1907.  From  there  he  went  to  Nevada  again  and  was  placed 
in  charge  of  the  Tonopah  Liberty  and  later  assumed  charge  of  some 
mining  property  in  Shasta  County,  California,  as  Deputy  United 
States  Marshal.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1912,  where  he  assumed 
charge  of  the  Calzona  Mines.  For  some  years  he  was  in  charge  of 
the  Batapilas  Mines  in  Mexico,  one  of  the  gigantic  projects  of  that 
country.  Col.  Bowler  has  also  played  a  prominent  part  in  Western 
public  life,  particularly  along  the  frontier  where  men  of  judgment 
and  courage  were  needed.  In  many  of  the  communities  where  he 
resided  he  was  held  in  such  high  esteem  by  his  fellowmen  that  he  was 
repeatedly  made  the  Sheriff,  Deputy  Sheriff  and  Deputy  Marshal. 
He  served  two  terms  in  the  California  Legislature  and  was  tendered 
the  nomination  for  member  of  the  assembly  in  this  State,  but  was 
compelled  to  decline  on  account  of  business  and  personal  matters. 
Colonel  Bowler  gained  his  military  title  at  the  battle  of  San  Juan 
Hill  when  he  served  in  the  volunteer  army.

BABBITT  BROTHERS,  General  Merchants — Thirty  years  ago,  before 
the  old  Atlantic  &  Pacific  Railway  joined  by  its  rails  of  steel,  the 
elite  East  with  the  then  frontier  West,  David  and  William  Babbitt, 
with  true  pioneer  spirit,  braved  the  hardships  of  the  almost  unknown 
Arizona  and  settling  in  view  of  the  grand  old  San  Francisco  Peaks,  at 
the  point  no\v  known  as  Flagstaff,  they  purchased  a  small  bunch  of 
cattle  and  later  established  a  small  merchandise  business,  which  has 
since  grown  to  the  proportions  of  the  largest  department  store  in 
Northern  Arizona.  By  fair  dealing  they  quickly  won  the  confidence 
of  the  early  settlers,  and  this  reputation  firmly  established,  has  been 
the  basis  of  their  continued  success.  From  a  frontier  trading  post  has 
grown  the  present  modern  department  store,  which  keeping  pace  with 
the  trend  of  modern  merchandising,  now  occupies  the  space  of  a  city 
block,  and  is  equipped  with  a  complete  cold  storage  and  electric  light- 
ing plant,  an  ice  making  plant,  and  several  fireproof  warehouses. 
Recent  additions  to  this  business  consist  of  a  thoroughly  modern  pack- 
ing plant  and  fireproof  abbatoir,  all  equipped  with  the  latest  improved 
machinery.  Those  by-products  which  in  the  early  days  of  range 
slaughtering  were  considered  mere  waste,  are  now  being  manufactured 
into  fertilizers  and  other  profitable  products.  A  recent  departure  has 
been  the  construction  of  a  modern,  well  equipped  garage,  where  high 
grade  motor  cars  are  on  sale.  Babbitt  Brothers  now  purchase  from 
the  markets  of  the  East  and  West  all  staple  goods  in  carload  lots. 
From  this  small  beginning  has  developed  a  chain  of  stores,  commis- 
saries and  Indian  trading  posts,  eight  in  all,  doing  business  all 
through  northern  Arizona,  and  their  influence  is  to  be  noted  in 
almost  every  town  along  the  Santa  Fe.  Visitors  are  invariably 
surprised  at  the  choice  and  varied  stock  on  display  in  this  modern 
store,  where  there  may  constantly  be  found  on  hand  the  largest  as- 
sortment of  genuine  Navajo  blankets  and  silverwork  in  the  southwest. 
With  three  trading  posts  in  the  Indian  country,  and  through  direct 
trading  with  the  Indians,  this  concern  is  able  to  supply  the  trade  in 
any  quantity,  with  genuine  Indian  wares  of  all  kinds.  One  of  the 
largest  exhibits  of  ancient  pottery,  war  hammers,  and  relics  of  the 
ancient  tribes  is  on  display  and  is  always  an  attraction  to  visitors. 
Four  of  the  Babbitt  Brothers,  David,  Charles,  George  and  William, 
are  now  included  in  this  co-partnership.  They  also  own  great 
stretches  of  range  country  and  are  heavily  interested  in  cattle,  horses 
and  sheep.  They  all  occupy  prominent  parts  in  the  civic,  political  and 
social  life  of  Arizona,  and  are  particularly  interested  in  the  advance- 
ment of  the  education  of  the  youth  of  Arizona.  Always  alive  to  op- 
portunities, quick  to  decide,  with  keen  foresight  into  the  future,  their 
success  has  been  attained  through  many  trials  and  severe  tests.  The 
name  of  Babbitt  has  long  been  a  factor  in  the  development  of  Arizona, 
and  these  men  have  always  been  foremost  in  aiding  any  project  that 
promised  an  opportunity  for  the  good  of  their  locality.

FRED  TUTTLE  COLTER,  widely  known  and  generally  recognized  as 
one  of  Arizona's  most  enterprising  and  public  spirited  men,  is  the  son 
of  James  H.  G.  and  Rosa  Rudd  Colter,  and  a  native  of  this  State, 
having  been  born  at  Neutrioso,  February  2,  1879.  Living  on  one  of 
the  finest  and  most  thoroughly  equipped  ranches  in  Arizona,  he  is 
known  throughout  the  State  as  a  stock  raiser,  and  considered  an  au- 
thority on  matters  pertaining  to  this  business,  a  reputation  which  is 
truly  merited,  for  Mr.  Colter's  knowledge  of  the  subject  has  been  a 
part  of  his  lifelong  education.  His  father  was  extensively  interested 
in  cattle  raising,  and  in  1880  moved  to  Alma,  New  Mexico,  where  he 
had  a  large  range.  This  was,  however,  situated  on  an  Indian  trail 
leading  from  the  Apache  Reservation  to  Mexico,  and  the  Indians 
killed  most  of  the  stock  ard  many  of  the  settlers.  In  1883,  after  a 
three  days  fight  in  which  27  white  men  were  combatting  300  Indians 
led  by  Geronimo,  his  father  sold  out  and  moved  to  Newton,  Kansas, 
where  he  again  engaged  in  live  stock  and  farming.  In  1888  he  re- 
turned to  Arizona,  and  located  at  Springerville,  which  then  became 
the  permanent  home  of  the  family.  Mr.  Colter's  tendency  toward 
independence  and  unusual  energy  which  have  been  among  his  most 
marked  characteristics  in  later  life  asserted  themselves  when  he  was 
quite  a  small  boy,  as  at  the  age  of  twelve  years  he  started  out  to  work 
for  himself  before  and  after  school  hours  and  during  vacation  periods 
to  pay  his  way  through  school,  and  his  surplus  earnings,  even  at  that 
time,  were  invested  in  cattle.  His  public  school  course  having  been 
completed,  in  1899-1900  he  took  a  business  course  in  Pueblo, 
Colorado,  and  this  is  the  only  actual  lapse  in  his  career  as  stockman 
from  early  boyhood.  Returning  to  Arizona  in  1900,  he  engaged  in 
the  stoc1:  business  in  a  larger  way,  and  has  since  continued  to  add  to 
his  stock  of  cattle,  horses  and  sheep,  until  his  business  may  now  be 
ranked  among  the  leading  ones  of  Arizona.  While  gradually  increas- 
ing the  range  of  his  personal  business,  at  this  time  he  accepted  a  posi- 
tion as  manager  for  a  cattle  outfit  owned  by  Mr.  W.  H.  Phelps,  who 
had  the  utmost  confidence  in  his  ability  and  integrity,  as  he  had  pre- 
viously been  employed  by  Mr.  Phelps  in  a  different  capacity,  and  to 
him  Mr.  Colter  feels  that  he  is  indebted  in  many  ways.  In  addition 
to  the  live  stock  business,  Mr.  Colter  is  a  large  dealer  in  land  and  a 
well  known  developer  of  the  same.  In  1905  he  made  some  invest- 
ments in  land  and  commenced  reclaiming  other  land  by  taking  out 
ditches  and  building  reservoirs,  of  which  he  has  built  six.  He  is  now 
prominently  identified  with  various  construction  and  reservoir  com- 
pa"ie«  throughout  the  State,  being  Pre-ident  of  the  Colter  Construc- 
tion Company  and  of  the  America^  Valley  Reservoir  Company,  and 
Director  of  the  Lyman  Re-ervoir  Company.  He  is  also  President  of 
the  Colter-Tyler  Live~toc'r  Company.  Pesides  the  demands  made  on 
his  time  and  energy  by  his  business  affiliations,  Mr.  Colter  has  served 
.in.  va"iou^  political  capac:t;e\  In  1904  he  was  Democratic  nominee

for  Supervisor  in  Apache,  a  strongly  Republican  county,  and  was  de- 
feated by  but  15  votes;  while  in  1906  he  was  elected  for  the  long 
term,  and  served  as  Supervisor  until  February  14,  1912,  when  Arizona 
became  a  State.  He  was  elected  delegate  to  the  Constitutional  Con- 
vention and  was  made  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Mode  of 
Amending  Schedule  and  Miscellaneous.  In  March,  1912,  Governor 
Hunt  appointed  Mr.  Colter  a  member  of  the  State  Sanitary  Sheep 
Commission.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  Executive  Committee  from 
Apache  County  of  the  Democratic  State  Central  Committee.  He 
is  now  serving  his  second  term  as  Vice  President  of  the  Arizona  Cattle 
Growlers'  Association.  He  is  also  one  of  the  Committee  on  Forest 
Reserves  and  Public  Grazing  of  the  American  National  Live  Stock 
Association,  and  a  long  time  member  of  the  Elks  Lodge,  he  is  at 
present  one  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  same.  Mr.  Colter  was 
married  November  11,  1904,  to  Miss  Duge  Phelps,  who  is  well 
known  and  popular  in  the  social  life  of  both  Arizona  and  California.

handled  all  kinds  of  contracts  during  the  past  twelve  years  and  has 
done  much  work  for  the  Santa  Fe  Railroad.  Mr.  Crosby  was  edu- 
cated mainly  in  the  school  of  experience,  and  he  has  taken  a  post 
graduate  course.  He  has  one  of  the  finest  ranches  in  the  State  at

Eagar,  where  his  family  make  their  home.  He  with  A.  H.  Pratt  has 
some  of  the  finest  cattle  in  Arizona,  having  shipped  in  a  carload  of  the 
best  Durhams  obtainable  two  years  ago,  which  formed  the  nucleus 
of  one  of  the  finest  herds  in  the  northern  part  of  the  state.  Mr. 
Crosby's  two  brothers,  Jesse  C.  and  George  H.,  Jr.,  are  both  attorneys 
of  large  counties,  and  he  declares  they  attend  to  the  political  end 
of  the  business,  and  despite  the  urging  of  his  friends  has  refused  po- 
litical office  at  all  times,  preferring  to  give  his  attention  to  his  many 
interests. 

C.  A.  CLARK  &  Co. — One  of  the  largest  and  best  known  mercan- 
tile establishments  in  Arizona  is  that  of  C.  A.  Clark  &  Co.,  General 
Outfitters  to  Men,  of  Flagstaff.  From  a  small  beginning  and  modest 
capital  the  company  has  by  fair  dealing  and  honest  values  built  up  a 

trade    w7hich    compares    well    with 

that  of  the  largest  in  the  state. 
Both  of  the  members  of  the  firm, 
C.  A.  and  John  M.  Clark,  have 
had  a  wide  variety  of  experience  in 
all  lines,  and  both  have  large  ac- 
quaintance among  the  men  promi- 
nent in  the  affairs  of  Arizona.  The 
firm  not  only  carries  a  complete 
line,  but  it  is  selected  with  an  idea 
of  pleasing  all  classes  of  trade,  and 
at  reasonable  prices. 

JOHN  MILTON  CLARK  is  best 
known  for  the  part  he  took  in 
quelling  twro  outbreaks  at  the 
Yuma  penitentiary  while  he  was 
an  official  of  that  institution.  He 
served  under  five  governors  and 
five  superintendents.  Mr.  Clark's 
reputation  was  such  that  United 
States  Marshal  Daniels,  after  his 
appointment,  selected  him  as  an 
office  deputy.  He  has  served  his 
apprenticeship  in  the  saddle  as  cow 
puncher  and  sheepman,  and  has 
been  interested  in  all  other  kinds  of  work.  As  manager  of  C.  A. 
Clark  &  Co.  he  has  shown  his  ability  as  a  merchant.  While 
without  political  aspirations,  he  has  been  prominent  in  the 
affairs  of  the  Republican  party,  wields  a  large  influence,  and 
although  refusing  office,  has  been  chairman  of  the  county  cen- 
tral committee  of  the  G.  O.  P.  J.  M.  Clark  married  Miss 
Agnes  Martin,  daughter  of  George  Martin,  of  Tucson,  who 
played  a  prominent  part  in  the  creating  of  the  state  out  of  the  prairie 


412  WHO'S    WHO 

wilderness.  Mr.  Martin  was  one  of  the  earliest  pioneers  and  was 
active  in  the  earliest  struggles  of  the  settlers  about  Yuma.,  Tucson, 
Prescott  and  other  pioneer  towns  of  the  state.  George  Martin  helped 
to  welcome  the  first  governor  to  Arizona.  Mrs.  Clark's  grandfather, 
Stephen  Rodondo,  was  a  member  of  the  first  territorial  legislature  of 
Arizona. 

C.  A.  CLARK,  senior  member  of  the  firm,  is  well  known  as  a 
sheepman,  and  has  recently  turned  the  mercantile  business  over  to 
his  brother  while  he  devotes  his  time  to  his  flocks.  He,  like  his  brother, 
is  a  self-made  man,  and  has  had  a  variety  of  experience.  He  started 
business  as  delivery  boy  and  clerk  in  the  employ  of  Babbitt  Bros.  An- 
other family  resemblance  is  his  lack  of  political  aspirations,  but  he 
has  through  civic  pride  served  a  term  as  member  of  the  city  council 
of  Flagstaff. 

That  "blood  will  tell"  is  proven  in  the  case  of  the  members  of 
this  firm.  Their  mother,  Rosaline,  is  today  one  of  the  best  known 
fraternal  leaders  in  the  state,  and  has  held  the  highest  office  in  the 
Eastern  Star  lodge  of  Arizona,  and  is  also  prominent  as  a  Rebekah 
having  been  a  delegate  to  the  state  conventions  in  both  orders.  She 
is  a  direct  descendant  of  a  well  known  pioneer  family  of  Maine  and 
among  her  direct  relatives  have  been  prominent  attorneys,  jurists  and 
public  men,  including  Bartlett  Tripp,  a  minister  to  Europe,  who  was 
appointed  by  President  Cleveland. 


OLIVER  E.  COMSTOCK,  Justice  of  the  Peace  in  Tucson,  now  serving 
his  second  term  in  that  office,  and  minister  and  missionary  in  the  Bap- 
tist Church,  has  had  a  varied  and  interesting  career,  having  lived  in 
several  states  and  followed  various  occupations.  His  family  have 
been  in  America  two  hundred  years,  and  his  ancestors  were  promi- 
nent in  both  the  Revolutionary  and  Civil  Wars,  his- great-grand-uncle 
General  Comstock,  having  served  in  the  Revolutionary  War.  He  is 
the  son  of  Oliver  L.  Comstock,  a  manufacturer  of  New  Albany, 
Indiana,  and  was  born  in  that  city  December  28,  1854.  He  first 
attended  the  public  schools  and  then  the  Southern  Baptist  Theological 
Seminary,  at  Louisville,  where  he  became  a  regularly  ordained  min- 
ister, and  he  was  pastor  of  Furnace  Hill  Baptist  Church  at  Sheffield 
for  twenty  years.  He  also  learned  printing,  engaged  in  the  trade  for 
several  years  in  Kentucky  and  Alabama,  and  for  a  number  of  years 
was  publisher  of  the  "Sheffield  Reaper,"  but  he  sold  out  his  interest  in 
this  business  to  act  as  City  Clerk,  which  position  he  held  about  two 
years  prior  to  his  coming  to  Tucson.  In  Arizona  he  was  employed  as 
printer  for  some  time,  until  he  became  a  member  of  the  Smith-Com- 
stock  Printing  Company,  a  well  known  firm  in  the  southern  part  of 
the  ?tate,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the  organizers.  He  has  been  a 
member  of  the  Typographical  Union  for  more  than  twenty  years,  and 
always  active  in  anv  movement  that  will  tend  towards  its  benefit.  He

is  a  member  of  a  number  of  societies,  among  them  being  the  Masons 
in  which  he  has  attained  the  highest  degree,  also  the  Odd  Fellows, 
Sovereign  Camp  of  Woodmen  of  the  World,  Redmen  and  Knights  of 
Honor,  and  was  one  of  the  original  members  of  the  Improved  Order 
of  Heptasophs,  only  five  of  whom  are  living.  He  has  held  positions 
of  the  highest  honor  in  all  of  these  societies.  Mr.  Comstock  was 
married  in  Louisville,  Ky.,  his  wife  having  been  Miss  Jennie  F.  Mc- 
Clelland of  that  state,  and  with  their  family  of  nine  children  they  have 
made  their  permanent  home  in  Tucson. 


THE  DOUBLE  CIRCLE  CATTLE  COMPANY,  Clifton,  of  which  A. 
Drumm  is  president,  E.  W.  Houx,  vice  president,  and  M.  L.  Mc- 
Clure,  secretary  and  treasurer,  are  the  occupants  of  a  ranch  which  was 
located  more  than  thirty  years  ago  when  the  Indians  were  very  trouble- 
some. The  first  owner  of  the  double  circle  brand  was  Joe  Hampton, 
and  later  his  brother,  John  Hampton,  became  a  partner  in  the  busi- 
ness and  continued  to  handle  the  double  circle  cattle  until  four  years 
ago,  when  the  Hamptons  sold  a  half  interest  in  the  brand  to  Mr. 
Drumm,  of  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  and  A.  T.  Wilson,  of  Clifton,  and  the 
Double  Circle  Cattle  Company  was  organized.  The  Hamptons  have 
since  sold  their  entire  remaining  interest  to  Mr.  Drumm.  This  ranch 
has  always  been  noted  for  the  excellent  breed  of  its  animals  and  has 
always  bought  the  best  white  face  and  Durham  bulls.  At  the  present 
time  the  Company  has  on  the  ranch  about  15,000  head  of  cattle,  and 
are  now  branding  about  4,500  calves.

William  W.  Brookner 

WILLIAM  W.  BROOKNER,  of  the  firm  of  W.  W.  Brookner  &  Co., 
of  Globe,  was  born  in  Dixon,  Illinois,  in  1860,  where  he  was  educated 
in  the  public  schools,  received  a  thoroughly  good  commercial  educa- 
tion, and  lived  until  his  twentieth  year.  He  received  an  excellent 
home  training,  early  displayed  habits  of  thrift  and  industry,  and  his 
discerning  mind  saw  in  the  far  west  opportunities  which  did  not  exist 
in  Illinois.  Rumors  which  emanated  from  the  silver  district  of  Globe 
reached  him  and  in  1881  he  came  to  Arizona,  located  in  Globe  and 
worked  at  whatever  happened  in  his  way.  His  chief  stock  in  trade 
wras  a  firm  determination  to  succeed,  and  realizing  that  this,  together 
with  the  substantial  characteristics  of  thrift  and  industry,  formed  the 
sole  basis  of  his  fight  for  success,  one  is  willing  to  concede  that  Mr. 
Brookner  is,  indeed,  entitled  to  all  the  credit  which  his  fellowmen 
readily  accord  him.  The  well  conducted  mercantile  establishment  over 
which  Mr.  Brookner  presides,  and  which  under  his  capable  supervis- 
ion has  developed  into  one  of  the  best  of  its  kind,  was  organized  in 
1899,  since  when  it  has  experienced  a  continually  increasing  prosper-

ity.  Their  stock  is  well  chosen  and  complete  and  at  all  times  meets 
the  varied  demands  made  upon  it  by  the  people  of  that  vicinity.  Mr. 
Brookner  is  also  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Brookner  &  Neff,  San 
Carlos.  Prior  to  the  incorporation  of  the  Globe  store  he  participated 
in  the  organization  of  the  Old  Dominion  Commercial  Company,  and 
acted  as  manager  of  the  same.  He  has  always  been  a  staunch  Demo- 
crat, and  served  two  terms  as  Treasurer  of  Gila  County.  He  has 
long  been  a  member  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.  Mr.  Brookner  was  married 
in  Globe  in  1884  to  Miss  Sarah  Glenn,  a  native  of  Canada. 


WM.  L.  BURT,  though  one  of  the  comparatively  recent  arrivals 
in  Arizona,  has  already  been  recognized  as  one  of  the  leaders  in  in- 
surance and  financial  circles  of  this  state.  He  was  born  in  Owensby, 
Ky.,  thirty  years  ago.  His  father  is  Col.  D.  H.  Burt,  one  of  the  noted 
_  veterans  of  the  Civil  War.  His 

mother  was  Miss  S.  J.  Mason. 
He  married  Miss  Elsie  Miller, 
one  of  the  descendants  of  the 
Millers  of  Arkansas,  one  of  the 
oldest  and  best  known  families 
of  the  south.  Mr.  Burt  is  a 
law  graduate  trom  the  Univer- 
sity of  Arkansas  and  from 
Harvard  University.  After 
his  graduation  he  practiced 
law  in  Arkansas  and  was  the 
law  partner  of  U.  S.  Bratton, 
one  of  the  leading  men  of  his 
state  who  is  now  the  post- 
master in  Little  Rock,  Ark. 
Mr.  Burt  came  west  four 
years  ago  and  entered  the 
banking  business  in  Los  An- 
Angeles,  organizing  the  Oil 
and  Metals  Bank  and  Trust 
Company  of  Los  Angeles,  dur- 
ing the  oil  excitement.  This 
institution  has  become  ore  of 
the  important  financial  organ- 
izations of  California.  He 
has  since  then  become  more  or  less  identified  with  the  insurance  busi- 
ness and  came  to  Phoenix,  where  he  organized  The  Arizona  and 
New  Mexico  Underwriters  Company,  which  now  represents  the 
leading  insurance  companies  of  the  United  States.  He  is  now  the 
Vice  President  and  General  Manager  of  this  organization.  Mr.  Burt

WILLIAM  HEAVER  WORTHINGTON  was  born  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio, 
in  1878.  He  is  the  son  of  Henry  H.  an^  Catherine  Heaver  Worth- 
ington.  He  received  his  early  education  in  the  public  schools  of  Cin- 
cinnati, after  which  he  took  a  course  at  Leland  Stanford  University, 

taking    his    diploma 
there  as  mining  en- 
gineer and  metallur- 
gist  in    1898.      Mr.

known  in  the  south- 
west,    especially     in 
Southern       Arizona 
and  Sonora,  Mexico. 
His  first  business  as- 
sociations    were     in 
California  and  Mex- 
ico,   and    having   es- 
tablished   a    reputa-

Lawrence  Oscar  Cowan 

LAWRENCE  OSCAR  COWAN,  who,  as  Recorder  of  the  City  of  Tuc- 
son, has  won  many  friends  by  his  courtesy  and  efficient  conduct  of  the 
office,  is  a  native  of  South  Carolina;  he  was  born  in  Due  West,  in 
1858.  His  father,  Captain  John  Cowan,  was  a  planter  and  merchant, 
and  his  grandfather  was  one  of  the  early  settlers  of  the  State.  Judge 
Cowan  was  graduated  from  Erskine  College  of  South  Carolina,  after 
which  he  studied  law  in  Georgia  and  was  admitted  to  practice  before 
the  Supreme  Court  of  that  State  in  1882.  The  same  year  he  came  to 
Arizona,  settling  in  Kingman,  where  he  practiced  law,  owned  a  cattle 
ranch  and  was  interested  in  mines.  In  1887,  having  been  greatly 
attracted  by  the  boom  in  that  vicinity  he  proceeded  to  San  Diego, 
but  soon  returned  to  Kingman.  He  was  shortly  afterwards  elected

served  as  Clerk  of  the  District  Court  of  Mohave  County  and  Clerk  of 
the  Board  of  Supervisors.  In  1895  he  was  elected  to  the  office  of 
County  Recorder,  and  in  1897  was  chosen  by  a  handsome  majority  as 
member  of  the  Assembly  to  represent  Mohave  County  in  the  19th

passed  the  well  known  Cowan  Hill,  by  means  of  which  fees  amount- 
ing to  many  thousands  of  dollars  have  been  added  to  the  treasury  of 
Arizona.  In  addition  to  his  legal  and  official  duties  Judge  Cowan  has 
continued  to  be  largely  interested  in  mining  properties,  and  at  the 
present  time  has  an  interest  in  mines  in  Mexico  and  is  joint  owner 
with  Senator  Mark  Smith  of  the  Congress  Mine.  Judge  Cowan  is  a 
member  of  the  I.  O.  O.  F.  and  Mystic  Circle.  He  was  married  in 
1883  to  Rosalie  Rice  Ogden.  They  have  two  daughters,  Mrs.  H.  A. 
Drachman  and  Mrs.  Edith  C.  Tompkins. 


JOHN  IGO,  City  Marshal  and  Tax  Collector  of  the  City  of  Doug- 
las, is  one  of  the  best  known  citizens  of  Cochise  County,  and  has 
twice  made  a  remarkable  showing  in  the  race  for  the  position  he  now 
holds.  His  record  as  Court  Interpreter  and  Clerk  of  the  Police  and 

Justice  Court  was  responsible 
for  his  election  to  this  office  the 
first  time  by  a  large  majority, 
but  at  the  expiration  of  his  term 
he  was  re-elected  by  the  largest 
vote  ever  given  any  candidate 
for  office  in  Douglas.  John  Igo 
is  the  son  of  Victor  and  Agnes 
McCarty  Igo,  and  was  born  in 
Emporia,  Kansas,  but  has  been 
a  resident  of  Arizona  since  he. 
was  two  years  of  age.  He  was 
brought  up  on  a  ranch  and 
along  the  big  railroad  lines,  and 
until  he  branched  out  for  him- 
self he  worked  with  his  father, 
who  was  a  railroad  contractor. 
Apart  from  this  his  first  posi- 
tion was  assistant  postmaster  at 
Huachuca,  and  his  next  was  in 
the  Copper  Queen  store,  where 
he  has  been  employed  in  various 
capacities.  He  has  also  been  in 
charge  of  a  portion  of  the  El 

Paso  and  Southwestern  right  of  way,  and  in  all  these  positions  has 
given  entire  satisfaction.  He  was  elected  City  Marshal  after  four 
years  service  as  Clerk  and  Interpreter,  and  his  administration  has 
pleased  every  one  except  the  criminal  element.  Mr.  Igo  is  as  well 
known  in  fraternal  and  social  affairs  as  in  civic,  is  prominent  in  the 
Fraternal  Brotherhood  and  B.  P.  O.  E.,  and  his  friends  are  urging 
him  to  make  a  race  for  a  county  position,  feeling  that  his  splendid

showing  in  city  elections  would  make  him  a  strong  candidate  for  a 
more  prominent  office.  Mr.  Igo  married  Miss  Flora  J.  Morrill,  and 
to  the  union  have  been  born  three  children,  Clara,  Norvin  and  Louis. 


HUGH  THORNTON  CUTHBERT,  Certified  Public  Accountant, 
though  a  native  of  Scotland  and  a  resident  of  this  country  only  since 
December,  1904,  has  been  a  citizen  of  the  United  States  since  De- 
cember, 1910.  Mr.  Cuthbert  was  born  October  25,  1878,  and  is  the 

son  of  Hugh  Cuthbert,  Esq., 
and  Anne  Wilkinson,  youngest 
daughter  of  the  late  Colonel 
Sir  Thomas  Wilkinson,  K.  C. 
S.  I.  He  was  educated  at  Ed- 
inburgh Academy  and  Edin- 
burgh University,  and  served 
five  years  apprenticeship  with 
Carter,  Greig  &  Co.,  Chartered 
Accountants  of  Edinburgh,  qual- 
ified by  examinations,  and  was 
admitted  to  membership  in  the 
Society  of  Chartered  Account- 
ants in  1904.  Toward  the  end 
of  that  year  he  came  to  the 
United  States,  and  was  em- 
ployed for  two  years  at  his  pro- 
fession in  Chicago.  He  then 
came  to  Arizona  and  started  in 
business  for  himself  under  the 
firm  name  of  H.  T.  Cuthbert 
&  Co.,  Accountants  and  Audi- 
tors, at  Douglas,  where  he  has 

since  remained.  H.  T.  Cuthbert  &  Co.  are  really  the  pioneer  certified 
public  accountants  of  Arizona.  His  ability  in  his  special  line  of  busi- 
ness has  been  readily  recognized  in  this  vicinity,  and  he  has  done  work 
throughout  the  state,  and  in  other  states,  for  municipalities,  counties, 
mining  corporations  and  public  utility  companies  in  organizing  and 
systematizing  as  well  as  in  accounting  and  auditing.  Mr.  Cuthbert 
spent  fifteen  months  in  the  Imperial  Yeomanry  while  serving  in  the 
Boer  War,  and  especially  treasures  a  medal  and  three  clasps  given 
him  by  King  Edward  VII  for  his  services.  Socially  as  well  as  in  a 
business  way  Mr.  Cuthbert  is  prominent  in  the  life  of  Douglas.  He 
was  one  of  the  promoters  of  the  Douglas  Country  Club  and  served  as 
its  Secretary  and  Treasurer  during  the  first  four  years  of  its  existence. 
On  September  15,  1910,  Mr.  Cuthbert  was  married  to  Miss  Lucy 
Bishop  Smith,  of  New  London,  Conn.  They  have  one  little  daughter, 
Anne  Holt  Cuthbert.

JULIUS  WALTER  ATWOOD,  Protestant  Episcopal  Bishop  of  Arizona, 
was  horn  in  Salisbury,  Vermont,  June  27,  1857,  and  is  the  son  of 
Frank  Carley  and  Sarah  Thomas  Atwood.  He  first  attended  the 
public  schools  and  then  Middlebury  College,  from  which  he  received 
an  A.  B.  degree  in  1878,  and  for  the  next  two  years  was  student  at 
the  General  Theological  Seminary,  New  York,  following  which  he 
was  graduated  from  the  Episcopal  Theological  School  at  Cambridge, 
Mass.,  receiving  the  degree  of  B.  D.,  and  the  same  year,  1882,  he 
received  the  A.  M.  degree  from  Middlebury  College,  and  was  or- 
dained deacon.  In  1883  he  was  ordained  Priest  in  the  Protestant 
Episcopal  Church.  He  began  his  ministry  as  Rector  of  the  Church  of 
the  Ascension  at  Ipswich,  Mass.  Later  he  became  the  Rector  of  St. 
James  Church,  Providence,  R.  I.,  and  Trinity  Church,  of  Columbus, 
Ohio.  In  190b  he  came  to  Arizona  as  Rector  of  Trinity  Church, 
Phoenix.  In  1907  he  was  made  Archdeacon  of  Arizona,  in  1910  was 
Deputy  to  the  General  Convention,  and  on  January  18,  1911,  was 
consecrated  Bishop  of  Arizona.  Always  an  ardent  worker,  Bishop 
Atwood  has  seen  his  zealous  efforts  in  the  district  of  Arizona  so  fruit- 
fully rewarded  as  to  be  most  gratifying  to  all  concerned  in  his  work. 
He  is  the  founder  and  President  of  St.  Luke's  Home,  Phoenix. 
Bishop  Atwood  has  also  been  special  lecturer  on  church  history  in 
several  colleges,  and  is  the  author  of  "The  Spiritual  Influence  of  John 
Greenleaf  Whittier."  He  was  married  in  1895  to  Miss  Anna  Rich- 
mond, of  Providence,  R.  I.,  who  died  in  1907. 


NEILL  EDWAROS  BAILEY,  General  Superintendent  of  the  United 
Verde  &  Pacific  Railway,  and  best  known  throughout  the  State  as 
the  Father  of  the  Direct  Primary  Law  of  Arizona,  though  a  native  of 
California,  where  he  was  born  December  20,  Ib74,  is  really  of  South- 
ern lineage  and  is  the  son  of  George  H.  and  Sophia  Amsler  Bailey, 
both  members  of  well  known  Southern  families.  His  father  was  a 
distinguished  officer  in  the  Confederate  Army.  Mr.  Bailey  received 
his  education  in  California,  but  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona  since 
1892.  His  first  position  was  that  of  telegrapher,  from  which  he  has 
risen  by  dint  of  exceptional  ability  and  close  attention  to  detail,  to 
that  of  General  Superintendent.  He  is  a  Director  in  the  Arizona 
Life  Insurance  Company  and  associated  with  many  other  business  en- 
terprises throughout  the  State,  is  well  known  and  popular  politically, 
a  prominent  member  of  the  Masonic  Order,  being  a  Knight  Templar 
and  member  of  the  Mystic  Shrine;  and  in  a  social  way,  both  himself 
and  Mrs.  Bailey,  who  was  bred  in  the  City  of  Savannah,  are  recog- 
nized dispensers  of  true  Southern  hospitality.  In  1898  Mr.  Bailey 
raised  a  company  of  infantry,  received  the  commission  of  Second  Lieu- 
tenant and  served  in  the  First  Territorial  Volunteer  Infantry  in  the

GEORGE  A.  FLEMING,  City  Clerk  and  Treasurer  of  Flagstaff,  is  one 
of  the  well   known   politicians  of  Arizona,   and   during  his   term   of 

office  has  shown  marked  abil- 
ity as  a  public  officer. 

Coming  from  Charleston, 
S.  C.,  to  make  his  home  in  Ari- 
zona, he  was  early  honored  by 
the  people  of  Coconino  Coun- 
ty, with  the  Democratic  nomi- 
nation for  Clerk  of  the  Super- 
ior Court.  In  the  municipal 
election  at  Flagstaff,  he  was 
chosen  from  a  number  of 
strong  candidates,  for  the  of- 
fice of  City  Clerk  and  Treas- 
urer, and  is  filling  that  office 
to  the  satisfaction  of  his  con- 
stituency, and  with  honor  to 
himself. 

He  is  a  descendant  of  a  well 
known  Southern  family,  his 
mother,  Mrs.  James  F.  Mc- 
Carroll,  of  Hammond,  Louisi- 
ana, being  a  composer  whose 
darky  melodies  and  short  stor- 
ies are  popular  throughout 
Dixie.  Mr.  Fleming  was  born 
in  Jacksonville,  Florida,  in  1885,  attended  the  parochial  schools  of 
South  Carolina,  and  was  graduated  from  St.  Mary's  College,  North 
Carolina.  After  the  death  of  Mr.  Fleming's  father,  his  mother  mar- 
ried James  F.  McCarroll,  one  of  the  largest  lumbermen  of  Louisiana 
and  Mississippi,  and  a  man  of  great  business  ability. 

Mr.  Fleming  is  active  and  energetic  in  all  public  movements  for 
the  welfare  and  advancement  of  Arizona,  and  takes  prominent  part  in 
the  social  and  fraternal  life  of  the  new  State.  He  is  a  leader  in  the 
Knights  of  Columbus,  and  has  held  high  office  in  other  fraternal  so- 
cieties. Genial,  popular  and  active,  those  who  have  watched  his 
career  in  Arizona  expect  him  to  attain  to  political  prominence.

ALBERT  CLINTON  DEWITT  was  born  in  Buffalo,  New  York,  in 
1870.  He  is  the  son  of  Owen  Clinton  Dewitt  of  Buffalo,  former 
District  Attorney  of  Erie  County,  N.  Y.,  and  a  direct  descendant  of 
Cornelius  Dewitt,  one  of  the  earliest  settlers  of  New  Amsterdam,  and 
also  of  General  Warren,  of  Revolutionary  fame,  his  paternal  grand- 
mother having  been  Miss  Harriet  Warren.  His  father  was  Captain 
of  the  121st  U.  S.  Volunteer  New  York  Infantry  during  the  Civil 
War,  and  eight  of  his  uncles  also  served  in  this  war.  He,  therefore, 
comes  of  a  family  of  prominent  fighters,  and  his  career  in  Arizona 
has  demonstrated  that  he  inherited  some  of  the  spirit  of  his  fore- 
fathers, which  has  aided  him  in  accomplishing  much  because  of  his 
determination  to  overcome  obstacles,  and  he  has  attained  a  position  in 
the  community  commensurate  with  his  public  spiritedness  and  particu- 
lar attainments,  though  he  landed  in  Arizona  with  practically  nothing. 
He  is  now  owner  of  one  of  the  State's  finest  ranches,  situated  in  the 
Buckeye  Valley,  and  while  devoting  his  time  in  the  main  to  the  occu- 
pation of  farming  and  stock  raising,  he  has  large  interests  in  many 
business  enterprises  and  has  been  conspicuously  identified  with  various 
undertakings  which  have  developed  in  the  wake  of  an  ever  growing 
state.  During  the  Spanish-American  war,  Mr.  Dewitt  was  one  of 
the  first  men  to  land  in  Manila,  but  was  discharged  honorably  be- 
cause of  serious  throat  trouble.  Considered  an  important  factor  in 
politics  and  gratefully  recognized  for  the  part  he  has  played  in  public 
affairs,  Mr.  Dewitt  has  been  mentioned  for  several  political  positions, 
but,  as  yet,  has  not  seen  his  way  clear  to  enter  the  political  arena.

JUDGE  P.  P.  PARKER,  though  a  descendant  of  good  old  Yankee 
stock,  was  born  at  Barnston,  Quebec,  December  26,  1835.  Here  he 
spent  his  early  youth  and  \vas  educated  in  the  public  schools  and 
Barnston  Academy.  His  father,  Alpheus  Parker,  was  a  farmer  and 

one  of  the  pioneers  of  that  sec- 
tion. His  mother  was  a  native 
of  Vermont.  Judge  Parker 
came  West  in  1858  and  taught 
in  the  public  schools  of  Illinois 
and  Missouri.  In  the  summer 
of  1859  he  started  across  the 
plains  for  Pikes  Peak  with  an  ox 
team  and  landed  at  the  present 
site  of  the  City  of  Denver. 
Here  he  spent  the  summer  in 
prospecting  and  mining,  and  re- 
turned in  the  fall  to  his  school 
work  in  Missouri.  In  the  Civil 
War  Judge  Parker  had  a  record 
of  which  any  man  might  be 
proud,  and  though  he  partici- 
pated in  some  of  the  most  im- 
portant battles,  among  them 
Chattanooga,  Look  Out  Moun- 
tain and  the  siege  of  Vicksburg, 
was  never  wounded.  In  1861 
he  joined  the  Missouri  Home 
Guards,  became  First  Lieutenant  in  Company  C  of  the  6th  Mis- 
souri Militia,  in  the  fall  of  the  same  year  was  mustered  out  and 
entered  the  United  States  Volunteer  service  as  First  Lieutenant,  and 
his  regiment  was  assigned  to  General  Sherman's  command.  In  July, 
1864,  he  was  made  Captain  of  his  company  and  was  honorably  dis- 
charged late  in  the  fall  of  the  same  year.  Having  returned  to  his 
home  he  was  married  in  January,  1865,  to  Miss  Susan  F.  Hendricks, 
a  native  of  Missouri.  He  made  his  home  in  Missouri  until  1884, 
when  he  removed  to  North  Dakota,  where  he  was  appointed  by  the 
Governor  one  of  the  Commissioners  to  organize  Towner  County.  He 
afterwards  engaged  in  farming  and  stock  raising,  and  served  as  Clerk 
of  the  District  Court  until  he  came  to  Arizona  in  1888,  as  contractor 
on  the  South  Gila  Canal  in  Yuma  County.  In  1889  he  located  in 
Phoenix,  which  has  since  been  his  home.  Judge  Parker  stands  high  as 
a  civil  and  mining  engineer,  is  well  posted  in  irrigation  engineering, 
and  has  been  engaged  in  this  state  in  enterprises  of  great  magnitude. 
He  was  one  of  the  promoters  of  the  Rio  Verde  canal.  He  has  also 
been  deeply  interested  in  mining  projects  in  the  New  River  District. 
In  politics  he  is  a  Democrat,  and  has  filled  many  posts  of  honor  in

the  state.  He  served  three  terms  in  the  Territorial  Legislature.  In 
the  21st  Legislature,  the  first  one  to  occupy  the  new  capitol  building, 
he  was  chosen  Speaker  of  the  House,  a  peculiarly  appropriate  distinc- 
tion, since  he  it  was  who  fought  through  the  19th  Legislature  the 
bill  for  the  bonding  of  the  territory  for  the  construction  of  the  capitol. 
He  has  also  served  on  the  staffs  of  Governor  Franklin  and  Governor 
McCord,  and  as  a  member  of  the  Territorial  Central  Committee. 
Judge  Parker  is  a  member  of  the  Arizona  Society  of  the  Sons  of  the 
American  Revolution,  and  an  honored  member  of  the  G.  A.  R.  He  is 
a  32nd  degree  Mason,  one  of  the  most  prominent  in  the  state,  and  a 
member  of  the  Mystic  Shrine  and  Knights  Templar;  also  of  the  Ari- 
zona Society  of  Civil  Engineers.  His  family  consists  of  three  sons 
and  one  daughter,  Miss  Angie  B.  Parker,  who  is  Deputy  Clerk  of  the 
Supreme  Court.  He  is  a  gentleman  of  high  social  qualities  and  has 
an  extensive  circle  of  friends  who  esteem  him  for  his  genuine  worth. 


W.  J.  MULVEXOX,  a  native  of  Massachusetts,  where  he  was  born 
October  25,  1853,  has  nevertheless,  spent  his  entire  life  in  the  west,  as 
the  family  removed  to  Kansas  when  he  was  three  years  of  age,  and  in 
that  then  frontier  state  he  received  his  earliest  impressions  of  life  and 
his  early  education.  He  left  home  when  but  fifteen  and  went  to  Colo- 
rado, where  he  worked  at  mining,  later  moved  on  to  New  Mexico,  and 
in  1875  came  to  Arizona,  where  again  he  devoted  his  attention  to 
mining  for  about  six  years,  in  the  Peck  District.  While  in  New 
Mexico  he  served  for  three  years  as  Deputy  Sheriff  at  Silver  City,  and 
in  1881  he  was  appointed  deputy  to  Sheriff  Walker  of  Yavapai,  and 
at  the  expiration  of  that  term  he  was  appointed  by  the  succeeding 
sheriff,  Henkle,  and  served  another  two  years.  At  that  time  the 
county  comprised  the  territory  now  composing  Yavapai,  Coconino, 
Navajo  and  Apache.  Mr.  Mulvenon  was  elected  on  the  Democratic 
ticket  to  succeed  Sheriff  Henkle,  and  served  as  sheriff  of  the  county 
the  two  terms  following,  from  1885  to  1889.  During  that  time  his 
ability  was  often  severely  taxed,  especially  when  trouble  arose  in  the 
Tonto  Basin  between  sheep  and  cattle  raisers,  and  it  was  one  time 
necessary  for  him  to  organize  a  force  of  forty  of  the  best  and  bravest 
men  to  assist  him  in  quelling  the  warfare.  During  his  term  of  service 
he  made  some  famous  captures  and  did  much  that  made  him  noted  and 
aided  in  placing  the  frontier  territory  of  Arizona  on  a  safe  and  sound 
basis.  He  has  the  reputation  of  having  been  one  of  the  most  efficient 
sheriffs  the  territory  has  ever  known.  In  politics  Mr.  Mulvenon  has 
ever  been  a  Democrat  whose  judgment  in  party  councils  was  highly 
regarded,  and  has  served  on  both  county  and  territorial  committees. 
He  was  elected  to  the  Assembly  of  the  19th  Legislature,  in  which  he 
served  with  great  credit,  and  was  a  member  of  the  following  commit- 
tees :  Ways  and  Means ;  Appropriations ;  Printing  and  Rental  of 
School  Lands.  In  1894  he  organized  the  Crystal  Ice  Company  in

Prescott,  became  its  manager,  and  soon  built  up  a  large  wholesale  and 
retail  trade.  He  was  married  in  Prescott  to  Miss  Ella  Johnson,  a 
native  of  Oregon,  whose  parents  were  among  the  early  settlers  of  the 
Pacific  Coast. 


JAMES  H.  McCuNTOCK,  Postmaster  of  Phoenix,  familiarly 
known  as  "Colonel  Jim"  by  his  many  friends,  was  born  in  San  Fran- 
cisco on  February  23,  1864.  He  received  his  early  education  in  the 
public  schools  of  that  city,  and  after  coming  to  Arizona  enrolled  as  a 
student  in  Tempe  Normal,  was  a  member  of  the  first  class  which 
graduated  from  that  school,  and  taught  in  the  public  schools  of  the 
Territory  for  a  time.  He  then  took  up  newspaper  work,  joining  his 
brother  in  the  publication  of  the  Phoenix  Herald,  which  has  since 
been  absorbed  by  the  Republican.  Mr.  McClintcok  is  a  practical 
printer,  reporter  and  editor,  and  has  worked  on  various  papers  within 
the  State,  among  which  are  the  Gazette  and  the  Republican  in 
Phoenix.  For  some  years  he  has  been  a  contributor  to  various  mag- 
azines, which  he  continues  to  do  in  connection  with  his  other  duties, 
as  his  services  are  in  constant  demand  by  the  largest  newspapers  and 
magazines  of  the  United  States.  At  the  outbreak  of  the  Spanish  War 
he  enlisted  in  Roosevelt's  Rough  Rider  Regiment  and  was  made 
Captain  of  Troop  A,  and  while  the  war  lasted,  served  with  distinc- 
tion. At  its  close  he  again  engaged  in  newspaper  work  until  April, 
1902,  when  he  was  appointed  postmaster.  To  this  office  he  has  been 
twice  reappointed.  Since  he  assumed  charge  of  the  office  the  force 
has  been  increased  from  12  to  40,  and  its  annual  income  from 
$27,000  to  $90,000.  Colonel  McClintock  has  been  a  faithful  mem- 
ber of  the  Board  of  Trade  for  many  years,  and  has  served  both  as 
its  President  and  as  Chairman  of  the  Advertising  Committee.  After 
the  Spanish  War  he  was  commissioned  Colonel  of  the  First  Arizona 
Infantry,  or  National  Guard  of  Arizona,  which  position  he  resigned 
in  1910.  He  is  now  Historian,  and  has  been  President,  of  the 
Rough  Riders'  Association.  Archaeology  and  education  have  al- 
ways especially  interested  him,  and  he  is  probably  as  well  posted  as 
any  man  not  a  scientist  on  the  prehistoric  and  present  Indian  tribes 
of  Arizona.  He  has  served  as  President  of  the  Arizona  Folk  Lore 
Society,  and  several  terms  as  member  of  Educational  Boards. 


ERNEST  E.  ANDERSON,  assistant  postmaster,  Phoenix,  is  a  native 
of  New  Jersey,  and  was  born  in  Dover,  October  31,  1887.  He  was 
educated  in  his  native  state  and  served  an  apprenticeship  as  machinist. 
He  first  came  to  Arizona  eight  years  ago  and  secured  employment  at 
his  trade  with  the  Santa  Fe  at  Winslow.  After  six  months,  however, 
he  proceeded  to  California,  where  he  spent  two  years,  and  during  this 
time  passed  the  necessary  examination  and  obtained  an  appointment  as 
railway  mail  clerk.  He  then  returned  to  Arizona,  located  in  Phoe-

H.  W.  LATH  LEAN,  superintendent  of  mails,  Phoenix  postoffice,  was 
born  in  London,  England,  in  1863.  fie  was  educated  in  his  native 
city,  and  made  his  home  there  until  1887,  when  he  came  to  this  coun- 
try and  settled  in  Louisville,  Ky.  For  twelve  years  he  was  employed 
in  the  postoffice  of  Louisville,  and  is,  therefore,  thoroughly  experienced 
in  this  work.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1910,  since  when  Phoenix  has 
been  his  home,  and  during  this  time  he  has  been  employed  solely  in 
postal  work.  In  1895  he  returned  to  London  and  was  married  to  Miss 
Jane  Ellen  Todd,  and  to  this  union  have  been  born  five  children, 
Eleanor,  Sidney,  Stephen,  John  and  Ruth. 


B.  &  B.  does  not  stand  for  Biggest  and  Best,  but  gazing  from  the 
Plaza  across  at  the  store  of  the  Bashford-Burmister  Company,  and 
judging  from  its  size,  one  might  be  led  to  believe  that  such  was  the 
case.  This  great  department  store  is  not  only  among  the  best  and 
largest  in  the  state,  but  is  also  a  pioneer  institution.  When  Prescott 
was  but  a  trading  center  for  the  U.  S.  troops,  in  the  early  60's,  a  small 
post  was  established  by  the  Bashford-Burmister  Company,  and  since 
then  its  growth  has  been  continuous.  The  volume  of  business  done  in 
this  store,  with  its  more  than  fifty  thousand  square  feet  of  floor  space, 
is  not  exceeded  by  any  concern  in  Arizona,  and  the  remarkable  growth 
of  the  store  has  been  due  largely  to  the  manner  in  which  the  business 
has  always  been  conducted.  In  the  dry  goods  department  excellency 
reigns  supreme,  and  the  immense  stock  of  dry  goods,  silks,  laces,  men's 
furnishings,  ladies'  ready  to  \vear  clothing,  shoes  and  millinery  is  so 
arranged  as  to  show  to  the  best  advantage,  so  it  is  the  mecca  of  artistic 
shoppers  at  all  seasons  of  the  year.  The  grocery  and  supply  depart- 
ment is  always  stocked  with  a  complete  line  of  the  staples,  as  well  as 
the  delicacies  of  the  season,  especial  care  being  given  to  the  products  of 
this  state,  fruits  and  vegetables  of  the  rich  soil  of  Arizona  being  al- 
ways found  in  abundance  in  the  spacious  store  rooms.  Warehouses  to 
the  extent  of  half  a  dozen  afford  splendid  facilities  for  storing  mer- 
chandise, and  the  familiar  phrase,  "We  are  just  out  now,"  is  seldom 
heard  in  this  establishment.  Men  who  are  experts  in  their  lines  have 
charge  of  every  department,  and  are  always  ready  and  willing  to  give 
prospective  purchasers  the  benefit  of  their  experience.  The  department 
which  attracts  probably  the  greatest  attention,  owing  to  the  fact  that 
mining  is  the  greatest  of  the  industries  in  Yavapai,  is  the  mine  supply 
department,  and  the  ease  with  which  supplies  of  all  kinds  may  be  ob- 
tained at  the  B.  &  B.  has  been  a  decided  advantage  to  the  miners  of 
this  section.  The  store  is  under  the  direct  management  of  James  A. 
Hope,  president,  and  H.  D.  Aiken,  treasurer  and  first  vice  president,

both  of  whom  are  familiar  with  the  business  from  the  ground  up. 
Other  prominent  citizens  interested  in  the  company  are  F.  M.  Mur- 
phy, R.  N.  Fredericks,  C.  A.  Bray,  and  M.  C.  Hope.  Progressive, 
modern  business  methods  have  always  marked  the  conduct  of  the  af- 
fairs of  this  company,  and  at  no  time  in  its  career  have  more  able  men 
been  at  the  helm  than  at  the  present,  and  the  future  success  of  the 
Bashford-Burmister  Company  seems  assured. 


JOHNT  H.  SLAUGHTER,  pioneer  cattle  and  ranch  man,  is  one  of 
the  state's  most  interesting  and  picturesque  characters,  whose 
success  in  various  undertakings  has  been  a  matter  of  common  pride. 
He  was  born  on  a  plantation  in  Louisiana  in  the  forties,  and  was 
reared  among  the  surroundings  of  a  southern  home,  which  he  left  at  an 
early  age  to  seek  fortune  and  adventure  in  the  West.  He  first  landed 
in  Texas,  where  he  saw  an  opportunity  offered  for  stock  raising.  Here 
he  set  about  getting  a  start  in  the  cattle  business  and  at  the  age  of  six- 
teen possessed  a  considerable  herd.  While  yet  a  young  man  the  Civil 
War  broke  out,  and  he  was  one  of  the  first  to  enlist  in  the  Confederate 
Army.  His  career  as  a  soldier  was  cut  short  by  an  unlimited  fur- 
lough owing  to  serious  illness,  but  immediately  upon  his  recovery  he 
enlisted  with  the  Texas  Rangers  and  was  made  a  Lieutenant.  With 
this  remarkable  company  he  was  active  during  much  of  the  service 
which  made  it  justly  celebrated,  and  many  of  the  members  who 
served  with  Lieutenant  Slaughter  relate  his  stirring  experiences  and 
daring  deeds.  During  his  career  in  Texas  he  battled  with  uncer- 
tainties, twice  amassing  a  fortune  and  twice  losing  all.  The  effect 
of  this  adversity  was  but  to  bring  out  the  grit  and  determination  well 
known  in  the  Slaughter  blood,  without  which  the  name  would  not 
have  figured  so  prominently  in  the  development  of  the  Southwest.  In 
1877  when  gold  was  discovered  in  Arizona  and  the  name  of  Tomb- 
stone was  everywhere  spoken,  Mr.  Slaughter  was  attracted  by  the 
new  country,  and  believing  that  greater  opportunities  existed  here 
for  wealth,  drove  his  cattle  overland  to  the  San  Pedro  Valley,  which 
was  his  first  permanent  camping  ground  in  Arizona.  After  inspecting 
the  country  for  a  suitable  range  he  purchased  land  in  the  Southeast 
corner  of  the  Territory,  where  he  established  the  San  Bernardino 
Ranch.  For  15  years  following  the  surrounding  country  and  even 
portions  of  the  ranch  were  never  free  from  bands  of  hostile  Indians, 
and  the  utmost  vigilance  was  necessary  to  prevent  their  uprising.  Mr. 
Slaughter  struggled  through  this  period  with  a  firm  and  fearless  de- 
termination to  hold  the  ground,  and  that  he  has  succeeded  is  shown 
by  the  passing  of  the  redmen  and  the  building  up  of  one  of  the  prettiest 
spots  in  the  great  Southwest.  In  the  year  1886  Mr.  Slaughter  was 
escort  to  the  late  General  Lawton,  then  Captain  in  the  United  States 
Army,  in  the  capture  of  the  famous  Apache  chief,  Geronimo,  who  later 
surrendered  on  the  San  Bernardino  Ranch.  On  many  occasions  later

Mr.  Slaughter  directed  expeditions  of  the  United  States  troops 
through  southern  Arizona  and  northern  Mexico,  as  no  man  better 
knew  the  lurking  places  of  the  Indians,  or  better  understood  their 
cunning,  habits,  and  modes  of  warfare.  He  was  also  well  known 
to  the  Indians,  and  it  was  old  Geronimo  himself  who  said  no  life 
should  ever  be  taken  on  the  San  Bernardino  Ranch.  In  1887  Mr. 
Slaughter  was  elected  Sheriff  of  Cochise  County  on  the  Democratic 
ticket,  and  in  this  capacity  served  two  terms  wrhich  have  gone  down 
in  the  history  of  Arizona  as  remarkable  for  the  good  accomplished. 
During  his  ten  years  of  office  he  brought  to  justice  many  desperadoes 
who  had  been  operating  through  the  county,  and  many  attempts  were 
made  to  entrap  him  and  take  his  life,  but  in  every  case  he  outgeneraled 
his  foes.  Mr.  Slaughter  has  always  been  solicitous  for  the  welfare  of 
Cochise  County,  ever  ready  to  assist  those  upon  whom  the  hand  of 
adversity  has  fallen,  and  foremost  in  ridding  the  country  of  outlaws 
and  cattle  thieves,  thereby  encouraging  the  stock  raising  business. 
Mr.  Slaughter  married  Adeline  Harris,  daughter  of  Lesial  Harris, 
of  San  Angelo,  Texas,  one  of  the  prominent  men  of  that  State.  Mrs. 
Slaughter  died  shortly  after  their  removal  to  Arizona,  leaving  one 
son,  William  J.,  who  was  associated  with  his  father  in  business  until 
his  death  in  1911,  and  one  daughter,  Adeline,  now  the  wife  of  Dr. 
William  Arnold  Greene  of  Douglas.  Mr.  Slaughter  later  married 
Miss  Cora  Viola  Howell,  a  most  lovable  woman,  who  enjoys  much 
popularity,  and  who  is  a  woman  of  rare  public  spirit.  Mrs.  Slaughtei 
has  been  a  most  cheerful  helpmate,  charming  and  devoted,  and  much 
of  the  extraordinary  success  which  her  husband  has  enjoyed  may  be 
attributed  to  her  native  ability. 


PRE-EMINENT  in  its  line,  housed  in  a  magnificent  stone  building  at 
Tenth  &  "G"  Streets,  there  is  not  a  more  complete,  up-to-date  store  in 
the  state  than  that  of  The  Douglas  Drug  Company.  Its  incorporators, 
Dr.  E.  J.  Huxtable  and  O.  O.  Hammill,  are  not  only  citizens  of  high 
standing,  but  men  who  have  received  training  which  has  thoroughly 
fitted  them  for  the  business.  The  company  was  incorporated  in  1905, 
when  they  purchased  the  business  of  the  Braum-Furgeson  Company. 
They  have  since  doubled  the  capacity  and  more  than  doubled  the  busi- 
ness of  the  firm.  They  carry  a  line  of  high  grade  drugs,  to  the  selec- 
tion and  compounding  of  which  most  careful  attention  is  given;  a 
varied  line  of  stationery  and  a  line  of  confectionery  of  which  purity  is 
the  keynote.  And  in  the  remarkable  growth  of  their  business,  the  un- 
failing courtesy  with  which  patrons  are  treated  has  proven  not  the 
least  important  factor. 

E.  J.  HUXTABLE,  the  President  and  General  Manager  of  the  Com- 
pany, is  a  native  of  Canada,  and  son  of  James  Huxtable,  one  of  the 
pioneers  of  the  district  in  which  he  resided.  He  was  the  owner  of  a 
large  flour  mill,  and  also  held  important  official  positions  at  various

times,  including  that  of  reeve  of  the  township,  a  position  similar  to 
that  of  mayor  in  our  country,  and  warden  of  his  county,  Dufferin. 
Dr.  Huxtable  first  attended  the  common  schools  and  later  Colling- 
wood  Collegiate  Institute,  where  he  prepared  for  the  work  of  teach- 
ing, and  this  was  his  occupation  for  a  time.  He  soon  entered  the 
College  of  Pharmacy  at  Toronto,  where  he  completed  the  work  and 
took  a  course  at  the  University  of  Toronto,  from  which  he  was  gradu- 
ated with  the  degree  Bachelor  of  Pharmacy,  the  equivalent  of  the 
U.  S.  degree  Doctor  of  Pharmacy.  He  soon  went  to  Los  Angeles 
and  for  two  years  was  head  dispenser  for  one  of  the  largest  drug 
firms  in  the  city;  following  this  he  was  employed  for  three  years  in 
the  drug  store  of  the  Hotel  del  Coronado,  at  Coronado  Beach. 
About  that  time,  his  health  began  to  fail  and  he  sought  the  drier 
climate  of  Naco,  Arizona,  and  there  became  associated  with  the 
Braum-Ferguson  Company,  who  placed  him  in  charge  of  their  store  in 
El  Paso,  Texas.  His  next  move  was  to  Douglas  in  his  present  ca-

is  widely  known  in  a  fraternal  way  and  is  a  member  of  the  K.  of  P., 
Elks,  Moose  and  Fraternal  Brotherhood.  Mrs.  Huxtable,  who  was 
Miss  Adaline  White,  of  West  Point,  Miss.,  is  a  descendant  of  the 
Trotters  and  Whites,  well  known  Southern  families,  both  distinguish- 
ed plantation  owners  and  business  people  of  that  section,  and  was  well 
known  in  society  at  her  home.  There  is  still  pending  a  claim  of  her 
family  against  the  government  for  500  bales  of  cotton  confiscated  dur- 
ing the  War. 


O.  O.  HAMMILL,  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  Douglas  Drug 
Co.,  is  also  a  native  of  Canada,  having  been  born  in  Ontario  in  1870, 
and  like  his  partner,  was  educated  in  the  common  schools,  College  of 
Pharmacy  and  University  of  Toronto.  He  then  went  to  Illinois,  be- 
came a  registered  druggist  in  the  state,  and  secured  a  position  as  man- 
ager of  a  large  drug  store  in  Chicago.  Here  he  remained  for  several 
years,  and  in  1901  came  to  Douglas,  where  he  opened  the  store  for  the 
Braum-Ferguson  Co.,  which  he  later,  in  connection  with  Dr.  Hux- 
table, purchased.  He  is  a  member  of  the  State  Pharmacy  Board.  He 
was  the  pioneer  Shriner  of  Douglas,  and  helped  organize  the  first  Blue 
Lodge  Masons,  of  which  he  is  a  charter  member.  He  is  also  a  mem- 
ber of  the  Elks,  and  is  an  active  worker  in  each  society.  He  has  taken 
a  prominent  part  in  affairs  of  the  city,  and  at  present  is  Chairman  of 
the  Board  of  Education  and  member  of  the  Board  of  Aldermen.  He 
is  especially  interested  in  the  future  citizens  of  Arizona  and  is  Master 
for  the  Boy  Scouts  in  that  section,  his  three  years  training  in  the 
British  Volunteers  having  enabled  him  to  fill  this  position  with  entire 
satisfaction.  He  married  Miss  Maude  Pittiway,  of  Chicago.  They 
have  two  children,  Ogden  and  Marion. 


R.  L.  NEWMAN,  proprietor  of  the  Hotel  Holbrook,  is  one  of  the 
pioneers  of  Arizona  and  for  a  number  of  years  was  engaged  in  the 
cattle  business.  During  the  past  year  he  sold  out  and  came  to  Hol- 
brook, where  he  purchased  the  hotel.  From  the  start  he  began  im- 
provements, and  today  the  place  is  known  over  the  southwest  for  the 
excellence  of  the  entertainment  afforded.  It  is  noted  as  the  head- 
quarters for  tourists,  having  a  first  class  garage  in  connection,  and  the 
cleanliness  and  comfortable  surroundings  have  made  it  a  favorite 
stopping  place  for  the  traveling  public.  It  is  conducted  on  the  Euro- 
pean plan,  and  has  all  the  comfort  of  a  home.  The  large  hotel  lobby, 
filled  with  curios  for  which  the  country  about  Holbrook  is  noted,  gives 
it  added  charm,  and  the  grounds  having  undergone  a  thorough  clean- 
ing and  renovating,  are  as  pleasant  as  could  be  desired. 

Mr.  Newman  is  married  and  has  one  daughter,  Jennie,  and  one  son,

ALFRED  E.  GILLARD,  registered  pharmacist  and  proprietor  of  the 
Winslow  Drug  Store  and  the  Palace  Drug  Company,  is  one  of  the 
best  known  pharmacists  and  business  men  of  the  state.  He  has  a 
license  as  registered  pharmacist  in  the  States  of  Washington,  Oregon 

and  Wisconsin,  in  all  of  which 
he  has  been  employed  in  this 
work.  Mr.  Gillard  was  born 
in  1876  at  Cobourg,  Ontario, 
and  was  educated  in  the  com- 
mon schools,  the  Collegiate  In- 
stitute and  Milwaukee  Phar- 
macy College.  His  paternal 
grandfather  was  an  officer  in 
the  early  Indian  wars.  Mr. 
Gillard  first  went  into  the 
drug  business  at  Superior, 
Wisconsin,  about  twelve  years 
ago,  and  later  came  west, 
working  for  some  time  on  the 
coast  in  the  northwest,  then 
came  to  Arizona  in  1903,  lo- 
cated at  Prescott,  where  he 
was  employed  by  Messrs.  Bris- 
ley  &  Litt  for  about  one  year 
before  becoming  permanently 
located  in  Winslow.  His  two 
stores  in  this  town  are  well 
conducted  and  have  an  ex- 
cellent reputation  for  fair  dealing  and  for  the  great  care  wTith  which 
the  prescription  department  is  managed.  Mr.  Gillard  gives  his  per- 
sonal attention  to  the  Winslow  Drug  Co.  store,  and  the  Palace  is  in 
charge  of  a  capable  pharmacist.  Having  two  establishments,  Mr. 
Gillard  is  enabled  to  buy  to  more  advantage  and  oftener,  which  is  a 
decided  benefit  to  his  patrons  both  in  prices  and  in  being  able  to  obtain 
fresher  goods.  A  first  class  confectionery  department  and  soda  water 
fountain  are  valuable  additions  to  the  Winslow  store,  and  enjoy  a 
large  patronage.  Mr.  Gillard  has  also  other  important  business  inter- 
ests in  the  state.  He  was  married  in  1905  to  Miss  Anna  Killorin,  a 
descendant  of  General  Butler.  They  have  one  son,  Frederick  Butler 
Gillard. 

RYAN  &  Co.,  Inc.,  of  Globe,  is  a  firm  whose  career  is  a  credit  to  its 
management  and  to  the  city,  and  forms  an  interesting  story  of  gradual 
growth  in  the  business  world.  The  beginning  of  this  popular  estab- 
lishment was  in  August,  1904,  when  William  Ryan,  now  president  of 
the  company,  began  business  as  a  dealer  in  books,  periodicals,  station- 
ery, etc.,  and  from  the  beginning,  by  the  application  of  good  business 
policy,  original  ideas  and  the  force  of  his  personality,  seemed  destined 


436  WHO'S     WHO 

to  make  a  success  of  his  undertaking.  The  business  has  grown  year  by 
year  until  it  ranks  among  the  foremost  in  its  vicinity.  It  acquired  its 
present  prestige  by  successive  steps,  each  of  which  marked  a  new  era, 
and  its  continued  policy  of  square  dealing  and  anticipating  the  wants 
of  its  patrons  has  insured  the  patronage  of  people  who  recognize  com- 
mercial merit.  In  August,  1907,  J.  J.  Moloney,  now  secretary-treas- 
urer of  the  company,  became  associated  with  Mr.  Ryan  and  a  line  of 
sporting  goods,  phonographs  and  records  was  added  to  the  stock,  which 
included  a  complete  line  of  guns  and  ammunition,  while  a  special  fea- 
ture was  made  of  baseball  supplies.  This  department  marked  the  sec- 
ond step  in  the  store's  progress.  The  next  year  the  company  was  in- 
corporated and  the  drug  and  prescription  department,  under  the  care 
of  a  capable  registered  pharmacist,  was  added.  This  department  is  of 
a  grade  rather  higher  than  is  usually  found  in  a  city  of  less  than  fifty 
thousand,  and  one  of  the  most  trustworthy  and  thorough  in  the  South- 
west. Its  continually  increasing  patronage  and  the  fact  that  those  who 
go  to  Ryan's  once,  go  back  again,  is  the  best  testimonial  that  the  busi- 
ness can  offer  to  the  public,  and  is  the  natural  reward  gained  by  the 
carrying  of  a  carefully  selected  stock  and  the  courteous  treatment  ac- 
corded its  customers.  In  its  rapid  rise  to  prominence  much  must  be 
attributed  to  the  financial  integrity  and  genial  spirit  of  the  men  who 
are  working  harmoniously  together  to  make  their  business  the  leading 
one  in  the  rapidly  growing  city  of  Globe. 

WILLIAM  RYAN,  president  of  Ryan  &  Co.,  Inc.,  is  really  one  of  the 
pioneer  residents  of  Globe.  He  has  a  host  of  friends  in  that  section  of 
the  state,  and  to  his  wide  acquaintance,  pleasing  personality  and  ability 
to  make  friends  is  due  no  small  part  of  the  success  of  the  firm.  He  has 
always  taken  an  active  part  in  politics  in  Gila  County,  and  is  a  factor 
in  the  Republican  party  workings.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Knights  of 
Columbus  and  has  held  several  offices  in  the  order.  He  is  also  well 
known  among  the  B.  P.  O.  E.,  of  which  he  is  a  member,  as  well  as  in 
civic  and  social  affairs.  Mr.  Ryan  was  married  in  Globe  in  1883,  and 
is  the  father  of  four  sons  and  two  daughters,  all  of  whom  were  born 
and  reared  there. 

JOE  B.  RYAN,  son  of  William  Ryan,  is  vice  president  of  the  firm, 
one  of  its  best  working  members,  and  highly  esteemed  in  business  and 
social  circles.  He  is  one  of  the  younger  men  of  the  city,  but  has  be- 
come one  of  its  most  substantial  citizens.  He  was  born  in  Globe  and 
educated  there  in  the  public  schools  and  at  the  Military  School  at 
RoswTell,  N.  M.  Like  his  father,  he  is  a  keen,  progressive  business 
man,  and  his  courtesy  and  close  attention  to  detail  have  done  much  for

Knights  of  Columbus,  and  has  been  recently  Deputy  Grand  Knight  of 
the  latter  order,  as  his  efforts  in  that  position  during  the  preceding 
year  were  of  great  benefit  to  the  Council.  Mr.  Ryan  is  a  prominent 
member  of  the  younger  social  set,  one  of  the  most  popular  young  men 
in  the  state,  and  bids  fair  to  become  one  of  Arizona's  foremost  citizens.

Phelps  Dodge  Mercantile  Company 

THE  PHELPS  DODGE  MERCANTILE  COMPANY  was  organized  for 
the  purpose  of  taking  over  the  mercantile  interests  of  various  mining 
companies  in  Arizona  and  New  Mexico  owned  by  Phelps,  Dodge  & 
Company.  The  transfer  to  the  new  corporation  was  effected  Janu- 
ary 1st,  1912,  at  which  time  there  were  acquired  stores  at  Bisbee, 
Douglas,  Morenci,  Lowell,  Naco  and  Warren,  Arizona,  and  Dawson, 
New  Mexico.  So  far  as  it  concerned  the  general  public,  this  change 
meant  to  them  nothing  more  than  that  of  the  corporate  title,  as  the 
business  policy  of  the  company  remains  undisturbed,  being  character- 
ized by  the  same  liberality  and  breadth  of  purpose  as  that  on  which 
the  various  mining  companies'  stores  were  originally  founded. 

The  companies'  stores  came  into  existence  simultaneously  with  the 
commencement  of  mining  operations  on  a  commercial  basis  at  the 
different  camps,  their  inception  being  prompted  by  the  necessity  for 
furnishing  the  employes  of  the  mining  companies  and  other  residents 
of  the  various  localities  with  desirable  merchandise  at  reasonable 
prices.  That  their  growth  has  kept  pace  with  that  of  the  commu- 
nities in  which  the  stores  were  established  is  attested  by  the  constantly 
increasing  patronage  with  which  the  company  is  favored,  as  well  as 
by  the  class  of  buildings  which  it  has  found  necessary  to  erect  in  order 
to  house  these  veritable  bee-hives  of  industry.  Visitors,  upon  enter- 
ing the  several  stores,  particularly  those  known  as  main  stores,  at 
Bisbee,  Douglas  and  Morenci,  Arizona,  and  Dawson,  New  Mexico, 
are  agreeably  surprised  at  the  convenient  arrangements  of  depart- 
ments, each  with  its  tastefully  displayed  wares,  representing,  as  they 
do,  the  careful  and  discriminating  selections  of  buyers,  each  of  whom 
is  a  trained  specialist  in  his  own  line.  The  surprise  soon  develops 
into  a  feeling  of  complete  satisfaction  when  one  becomes  more  thor- 
oughly acquainted  with  the  conveniences  and  facilities  extended  to 
customers  in  order  that  their  shopping  may  be  made  for  them  a  source 
of  pleasure  rather  than  a  task.  In  the  departments  catering 
especially  to  the  requirements  of  ladies,  well  appointed  rest  rooms  are 
provided,  the  furnishings  being  chosen  with  a  view  to  inviting  com- 
plete repose  and  relaxation,  while  writing  desks,  with  all  the  necessary 
supplies  in  the  way  of  stationery,  etc.,  are  provided  by  the  company  for 
the  convenience  of  its  patrons,  without  cost.  Telephones  are  main- 
tained and  their  use  placed  exclusively  at  the  disposal  of  shoppers. 
Courtesy  is  the  underlying  principle  upon  which  the  company's  deal- 
ings wTith  its  patrons  are  founded,  and  to  this  end  the  selling  force  is 
recruited  from  among  that  class  whose  chief  qualification  for  the 
position  is  that  they  shall  be  competent  to  act  in  the  capacity  of 
assistant  to  the  purchaser.  The  general  offices  of  the  company  are  at 
Bisbee,  Arizona,  and  the  New  York  office  at  99  John  street.

W.  H.  Brophy 

W.  H.  BROPHY,  General  Manager  of  the  Phelps-Dodge  Mercantile 
Company,  with  headquarters  at  Bisbee,  is  one  of  the  best  examples  of 
the  self-made  business  man  in  Arizona.  Mr.  Brophy  was  born  in 
Ireland  October  12,  1863,  and  in  Ireland  he  received  his  education. 
His  parents  were  Michael  and  Matilda  Lawlor  Brophy.  At  the 
age  of  17  he  went  to  California,  where  he  remained  twro  years,  and 
came  to  Arizona  in  1883.  He  first  spent  some  time  on  his  brother's 
ranch,  and  early  in  1884  went  to  Bisbee,  which  has  since  been  his 
home.  His  first  position  there  was  with  the  Copper  Queen  Con- 
solidated Mining  Company  as  clerk,  in  whose  employ  he  has  gradually 
advanced,  as  a  reward  of  actual  merit,  until  he  reached  his  present 
position,  the  Phelps-Dodge  Mercantile  Company  being  but  a  change 
of  name.  In  this  capacity  Mr.  Brophy  has  under  his  jurisdiction 
the  entire  string  of  stores  operated  by  the  Mercantile  Company,  the

largest  of  which  is  at  Bisbee,  while  others  are  at  Lowell,  Naco, 
Douglas,  Clifton,  Morenci,  and  Dawson,  New  Mexico.  All  of  these 
stores  are  thoroughly  up  to  date,  well  managed,  with  a  large  and  well 
pleased  patronage,  and  sources  of  revenue  to  the  owners.  Mr.  Bro- 
phy's  interests  in  other  enterprises  are  such  as  carry  with  them  a  weight 
of  responsibility,  and  necessitate  the  exercise  of  sound  and  superior 
judgment.  He  is  President  of  The  Bank  of  Bisbee,  Vice  President 
of  The  Bank  of  Douglas  and  of  the  Douglas  Investment  Company, 
Director  of  The  Bank  of  Lowell,  and  holds  an  interest  in  the  Bisbee 
Improvement  Company.  He  is  also  interested  in  many  of  the  large 
mining  companies  of  Arizona  and  Mexico,  and  is  a  prominent  figure 
throughout  the  Southwest.  Mr.  Brophy  is  an  active  member  of  the 
Knights  of  Columbus,  and  his  generosity  was  an  imporatnnt  factor  in 
the  erection  of  their  building  in  Bisbee,  which  is  a  source  of  just  pride 
to  the  Order.  He  is  also  a  charter  and  life  member  of  the  Bisbee 
Lodge  of  Elks,  and  a  member  of  the  Los  Angeles  Athletic  Club.  He 
was  married  in  1893  to  Miss  Ellen  Amelia  Goodbody,  and  they  have 
two  children,  Francis  Cullen  Brophy,  who  is  attending  school  in  New 
Jersey,  and  Ellen  Amelia.

Nasianceno  Gonzales 

NASIANCENO  GONZALES,  Representative  from  Apache  County,  is 
one  of  the  members  who  may  always  be  found  on  the  firing  line  when 
matters  of  principle  are  involved,  and  his  service  in  the  First  State 
Legislature  has  the  added  value  of  the  experience  acquired  by  him 
during  two  terms  in  the  Territorial  Assembly.  Mr.  Gonzales  was 
born  in  the  neighboring  State  of  New  Mexico  in  1867.  He  is  prom- 
inent in  political  circles,  and  wields  a  great  influence  in  his  section, 
especially  among  the  Spanish-Americans.  He  has  served  his  county 
as  member  of  Board  of  Supervisors  and  Assistant  Recorder,  each  for 
two  years.  He  has  always  been  a  recognized  leader,  and  has  been 
interested  in  some  of  the  greatest  projects  that  have  been  developed  irr

HARRY  BRISLEY  was  born  on  January  10,  1862,  near  Canterbury, 
England.  His  father,  Charles  Brisley,  was  for  forty  consecutive 
years  postmaster  of  the  largest  parish  in  the  County  of  Kent,  and, 
with  his  wife,  Eliza,  is  still  living  and  in  good  health  at  the  age  of 

82  years.  Two  of  his 
uncles  served  in  the 
Union  army,  enlist- 
ing from  Ohio,  and 
one  was  killed  in  bat- 
tle. Harry  was  one 
of  a  family  of  nine 
children  ;  the  younger 
six,  seeing  little 
portunity  ahead 
them  if  they 
mained  in  the 
home,  came  one  after 
the  other  to  the 
United  States,  only 
one  of  whom  perma- 
nently returned,  and 
the  youngest  of  the 
my  i  family  was  laid  to 

.V^  rest  twenty-five  years 

L  ago     on     the     bluffs 

xV^  /?*  overlooking     the    St. 

Croix  River,  in  Min- 
nesota. Having  had 
a  commercial  school 
education,  Mr.  Bris- 
ley was  first  em- 
ployed at  the  age  of  15  years  as  dispensary  and  surgery  assistant  to  a 
Scotch  surgeon,  and  later  legally  articled  by  his  father  as  apprentice 
to  a  chemist  and  druggist  of  London.  At  the  expiration  of  this  term, 
at  the  age  of  20,  he  came  first  to  Toronto,  Canada,  then  joined  an 


W  H  O  '  S       WHO 

older  brother  in  Minnesota,  and  later  went  to  Illinois,  where  he  was 
graduated  from  the  Chicago  College  of  Pharmacy,  now  affiliated  with 
the  University  of  Illinois.  Developing  a  weakness  of  the  lungs  and 
happening  upon  a  pamphlet  issued  by  the  Immigration  Commissioner 
of  Arizona,  he  came  directly  to  Phoenix  in  February,  1888,  and 
under  the  influence  of  Arizona  air  and  sunshine  and  out  of  door 
life  he  soon  regained  health  and  vigor.  His  first  Arizona  dollar  was 
earned  by  irrigating  a  young  forest  of  cottonwoods  planted  under 
desert  land  entry.  This  was  very  soon  after  supplemented  by  others 
received  for  a  good  crop  of  beans,  sweet  potatoes  and  tomatoes  planted 
by  his  own  hands.  During  this  first  year  in  the  Salt  River  Valley 
he  frequently  packed  his  blankets  from  one  job  of  work  to  another, 
sleeping,  if  night  overtook  him,  under  a  tree  by  the  canal  side,  or 
resting  "never  so  sweetly"  on  the  hay  in  a  Phoenix  corral.  In  an 
endeavor  to  remain  out  of  the  drug  business  he  was  successively  cook 
to  farm  hands,  tender  of  bees  on  a  bee  ranch,  carpenter  at  $2.50  per 
day,  and  adjuster  of  collars  and  neckties  upon  a  p'air  of  mules,  and 
from  the  latter  job  he  was  "fired"  for  physical  and  mechanical  dis- 
ability. By  this  time,  the  September  sun  being  too  ardent  for 
enjoyable  exercise  out  of  doors,  he  obtained  steady  employment  with 
the  late  Don  Charles  T.  Hayden,  of  Tempe,  as  clerk  in  general  mer- 
chandise. In  November  of  this  first  year  in  Arizona  he  was  visited 
by  the  lady  to  whom  he  had  become  engaged  before  leaving  England, 
and  after  a  happy  renewal  of  courtship  days  they  were  married  at 
Phoenix  on  December  16th  by  Rev.  Dr.  Pearson,  one  of  the  first 
incumbents  of  the  Episcopal  Church  at  Phoenix.  Mrs.  Brisley  is  a 
lineal  descendant  of  Sir  Edward  Pinchon,  who,  about  1575,  was  a 
prominent  figure  in  her  native  county  of  Essex,  and  a  monument  in 
his  honor  is  today  a  work  of  art  adorning  one  of  the  old  churches  of 
the  country  side.  One  of  his  immediate  descendants  became  one  of  the 
settlers  of  Springfield,  Massachusetts,  and  his  name  has  been  given 
to  one  of  its  streets  and  one  of  its  banks.  In  1889  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Brisley  removed  to  Prescott,  purchased  an  interest  in  a  pharmacy, 
and  have  resided  there  since,  excepting  during  two  or  three  visits 
made  to  their  home  land.  Two  children  have  blessed  their  union — 
Mabel  Evelyn,  aged  20,  and  Harold  Roy,  aged  17.  On  locating  at 
Prescott,  one  of  Mr.  Brisley's  first  acts  was  to  take  out  full  citizen- 
ship papers,  and  a  number  of  years  later,  on  the  formation  of  a  local 
militia  company,  believing  it  to  be  the  duty  and  privilege  of  every 
able-bodied  man  to  have  military  training  for  the  organized  support 
of  his  country,  he  joined  as  one  of  the  rank  and  file,  served  a  term 
of  three  years,  gained  the  badge  of  a  marksman,  and  enjoyed  the 
experience  of  acting  as  a  unit  of  a  fighting  machine,  marching  shoulder 
to  shoulder  with  mighty  good  comrades.  Being  one  of  the  earliest 
graduated  and  registered  druggists  in  Arizona,  he  was  for  several 
years  the  sole  representative  here  of  the  American  Pharmacuetical 
Association.  On  the  passage  of  the  Pharmacy  Act,  he  was  appointed

a  member  of  the  first  Board  of  Pharmacy  by  Governor  Brodie,  and 
acted  as  examiner  in  chemistry  under  three  governors,  until  the 
present  time.  He  is  a  registered  pharmacist  in  Illinois,  Minnesota 
and  Arizona.  Mr.  Brisley  is  a  member  of  the  Masonic,  Odd  Fellows, 
Fraternal  Brotherhood  and  Mystic  Circle  Lodges,  while  in  the  St. 
Luke's  Church,  Prescott,  he  has  served  for  several  years  as  Treasurer 
and  Junior  Warden. 


William  Morgan 

WILLIAM  MORGAN,  member  of  the  Sheep  Sanitary  Commission, 
is  one  of  the  most  conspicuous  examples  of  self-made  man  to  be  found 
in  Arizona.  He  was  born  in  Chicago  August  11,  1857,  and  lived 
there  until  he  was  eighteen  years  old.  Mr.  Morgan's  entire 
education  was  received  in  the  public  schools  of  that  city,  but  having 
lost  his  father  at  an  early  age,  he  began  earning  his  livelihood  when 
quite  a  boy.  His  first  position  was  as  messenger  boy,  and  later  he 
was  employed  for  several  years  in  the  stock  yards  about  the  city. 
When  eighteen  he  went  to  Texas  and  for  two  years  was  employed 
herding  sheep  near  San  Antonio.  In  October,  1879,  he  came  to 
Arizona  and  located  at  Show  Low,  then  in  Apache  County,  where  he 
was  again  employed  as  sheep  herder  for  several  years,  when  he  en-

gaged  in  the  sheep  business  for  himself,  and  with  exceptional  success. 
Since,  he  has  devoted  practically  his  entire  life  to  this  industry.  Mr. 
Morgan  is  well  qualified  for  a  place  on  the  Sheep  Sanitary  Com- 
mission, and  his  suprior  judgment  in  matters  brought  before  them 
should  be  an  invaluable  aid.  Mr.  Morgan  has  been  a  life-long  Dem- 
ocrat, and  has  filled  a  number  of  important  political  positions  locally, 
and  in  the  County  and  State.  He  wras  first  Justice  of  the  Peace  for 
four  years,  and  has  served  as  Supervisor  of  Navajo  County  seven  and 
one-half  years,  having  been  first  appointed  to  the  office  and  subse- 
quently elected  to  succeed  himself.  In  the  Territorial  Legislature 
he  served  two  terms  in  the  Assembly  and  one  term  in  the  Council 
from  Navajo,  and  in  each  session  was  a  member  of  important  com- 
mittees and  proved  an  effective  worker.  He  wTas  also  a  member  of 
the  Constitutional  Convention.  Personally  Mr.  Morgan  is  generous 
and  public  spirited,  a  valued  member  of  society,  and  has  made  hosts 
of  friends  throughout  Arizona. 


Charles  B.  Keppler 

CHARLES  B.  KEPPLER,  Chief  Deputy  to  Sheriff  John  Patty  of 
Greenlee  County,  was  born  in  San  Angelo,  Texas,  July  2,  1877.  He 
was  reared  and  educated  in  New  Mexico,  however,  as  the  family  re- 
moved there  when  Charles  was  but  a  small  boy.  His  first  occupa- 
tion was  mining  and  prospecting,  which  he  followed  in  both  New 
Mexico  and  Arizona,  and  in  this  State  he  has  also  been  interested  in

ranching.  Mr.  Keppler  came  to  Arizona  and  located  in  what  is 
now  Greenlee  County,  in  1893.  In  1902  Sheriff  Parks  appointed 
him  one  of  his  deputies,  and  until  1908  he  was  thus  employed,  having 
during  this  time  made  a  record  that  can  scarcely  be  excelled  for 
ability,  keenness  and  perseverance.  During  the  term  of  Sheriff 
English,  Mr.  Keppler  returned  to  ranching,  but  when  John  D.  Patty 
was  elected  Sheriff  of  the  County,  he  appointed  Mr.  Keppler  his  chief 
deputy,  despite  the  fact  that  Sheriff  Patty  was  elected  on  the  Repub- 
lican ticket,  and  Mr.  Keppler  is  a  consistent  Democrat.  The  ap- 
pointment was  made  February  15,  Statehood  Day.  One  of  the  feats 
which  has  been  notable  in  Deputy  Sheriff  Keppler's  career  is  the  trail- 
ing of  the  men  who  killed  two  deputies,  the  chase  having  included  a 
large  part  of  New  Mexico  before  he  succeeded  in  capturing  them. 
He  has  practically  been  in  charge  of  the  field  work  In  the  county  dur- 
ing this  administration.  Air.  Keppler  is  a  member  of  trie  Eagles  and 
the  W.  O.  W.  He  was  married  April  14,  1913,  to  Miss  Dona  C. 
George,  of  Carlsbad,  NewT  Mexico,  and  they  make  their  home  in 
Clifton.

W.  S.  McKNiGHT,  Sheriff  of  Santa  Cruz  County,  is  one  of  the 
best  known  peace  officials  in  the  state,  even  though  he  has  been  in 
office  less  than  two  years  and  is  serving  his  first  term.  His  work  in  the 
capture  of  the  border  sneak  thieves  and  shop  lifters  at  Nogales  and 

the  capture  of  many 
hundreds  of  dollars 
worth  of  their  plunder 
gave  him  prominence 
among  the  officials  of 
the  entire  state.  He 
was  born  on  an  Illinois 
farm  and  educated  in 
the  common  schools  of 
Illinois.  In  1887  he 
came  to  Arizona  and 
has  been  here  ever 
since,  having  been  a 
resident  of  Santa  Cruz 
County  when  that 
county  was  cut  off 
from  Pima.  He  has 
had  a  variety  of  occu- 
pations, as  cowboy, 
miner,  rancher,  and  in 
fact  in  almost  every 
line  of  business,  and  he 
brought  to  his  present 
position  a  great  fund 
of  experience,  as  well 

as  wide  knowledge  of  the  County  and  State,  which  were  of  valuable 
aid  in  his  official  capacity.  Sheriff  McKnight  is  the  son  of  William 
P.  and  Eva  Buck  McKnight,  both  of  whom  were  born  and  raised  in 
Illinois,  his  ancestors  having  been  pioneers  of  the  state.  He  married 
Geneva  Villa,  a  member  of  one  of  the  best  known  families  of  Cali- 
fornia. To  the  union  have  been  born  nine  children,  eight  of  whom 
<»re  living,  five  sons  and  three  daughters.  During  his  twenty-fiv* 
years'  residence  in  Arizona  Sheriff  McKnight  has  made  a  large  circle 
of  friends,  and  demonstrated  his  immense  popularity  by  polling  the 
largest  number  of  votes  of  any  member  of  the  official  family  in  the 
county.  He  takes  an  active  part  in  the  social,  fraternal  and  civic  life 
of  the  community.  He  is  a  member  of  the  A.  O.  U.  W.  and  the  Odd 
Fellows.  Importuned  to  seek  the  office  by  his  friends,  he  accepted 
against  his  will,  but  once  in  the  fight  made  a  thorough  campaign  of 
the  county,  and  since  assuming  the  duties  of  the  office  has  performed 
the  work  in  a  manner  which  has  been  most  satisfactory  to  all  except 
the  law  breakers  of  the  county.

JOSEPH  WILEY  AKER,  Superintendent  of  the  Schools  of  Greenlee 
County,  was  born  in  Grant  County,  Va.,  July  7,  1881.  His  father, 
A.  D.  Aker,  died  the  next  year,  leaving  five  children  who  were  soon 

forced  to  support  and 
educate  themselves  with 
the  aid  of  a  devoted 
mother.  Their  efforts 
in  this  respect  have  been 
well  rewarded,  as  two 
of  his  brothers  are  suc- 
cessful ministers  and  the 
remaining  one  a  teacher. 
Their  only  sister  died  at 
an  early  age.  When  but 
1 7  years  old,  Wiley  Akei 
joined  the  4th  Tennes- 
see Volunteers  and  spent 
four  months  in  active 
service  in  Cuba.  Hav- 
ing been  mustered  out  he 
returned  to  his  home, 
and  proceeded  to  the  coal 
fields  of  West  Virginia, 
where  he  was  employed 
until  in  1901  in  a  wreck 
he  lost  his  right  hand 
and  right  foot.  The  fol- 
lowing September  he  be- 
gan attending  school  at  Princeton,  W.  Va.,  continued  studying  and 
in  1906  was  graduated  with  a  B.  S.  degree  from  Emory  &  Henry  Col- 
lege. He  next  went  to  Lordsburg,  N.  M.,  where  he  served  three 
years  as  minister  of  the  M.  E.  Church,  and  was  married  to  Rae 
Miller,  a  music  teacher  of  that  town.  In  1909  he  took  charge  of 
the  M.  E.  Church  at  Clifton,  Arizona,  and  when  Greenlee  County 
was  organized  in  1910,  he  was  elected  to  the  position  he  now  holds, 
when  he  resigned  his  work  in  the  ministry.  For  the  present  term 
he  was  elected  by  a  large  majority.  Mr.  Aker  helped  make  the  first 
school  law  of  the  State,  and  at  a  meeting  of  school  officials  at  Tucson 
in  1912  was  made  a  member  of  the  committee  to  get  up  a  course  in 
moral  instruction  for  the  pupils  of  the  State.  Mr.  Aker  is  deeply 
interested  in  school  work.  He  is  also  author  of  several  short  stories, 
and  one  book  of  fiction,  which  is  now  in  course  of  publication  in  New 
York  City.  His  family  consists  of  three  sons,  Malcome  M.,  Cecil  E. 
and  Greenlee  M.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Aker  are  interested  workers  in 
all  church  and  educational  affairs.

ALVAN  W.  HOWE,  Deputy  Sheriff  of  Cochise  County,  though  not 
a  native  of  Arizona,  has  been  a  resident  of  Dear  Old  Cochise  since 
he  was  but  eight  years  old,  when  the  family  removed  to  the  Territory. 
While  still  a  young  man,  he  is  one  of  the  oldest  peace  officers  in  point 
of  service  in  Arizona,  and  has  taken  more  people  to  the  penitentiary 
and  to  the  insane  asylum  than  any  other  officer  in  the  State.  Mr. 
Howe  was  born  in  Chicago  November  25,  1873,  and  October  8,  1881, 
landed  in  Tombstone.  His  parents,  Henry  G.  and  Louise  Willett 


Allie  Howe 


Howe,  were  among  the  pioneers  of  Tombstone,  and  the  former  was 
for  many  years  Surveyor  of  Cochise  County.  A  mining  and  civil 
engineer  by  profession,  he  practiced  in  Arizona  many  years,  and  helped 
in  the  location  of  many  of  the  greatest  mines.  The  first  daily  paper 
started  in  Bisbee,  The  Daily  Orb,  was  the  property  of  Allie  Howe, 
and  later  being  consolidated  with  The  Review,  became  one  of  the 
strongest  papers  in  Arizona.  After  having  completed  the  course  !n 
the  public  schools  of  Arizona,  Allie  went  to  Pomona  College,  where 
he  spent  three  years  taking  a  special  course.  He  has  held  numerous 
positions  in  the  court  house,  but  is  best  known  as  a  Deputy  Sheriff, 
having  held  a  commission  under  every  Sheriff  during  the  past  seven- 
teen years.  Mr.  Howe  was  married  at  Bisbee  in  July,  1902,  to  Miss 
Ella  Sheppard,  a  native  of  San  Francisco,  whose  parents  had  moved 
to  that  place.  They  make  their  home  in  Tombstone.

THOMAS  M.  WILLS,  chairman  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Final 
County,  is  one  of  the  pioneers  whose  energetic  career  has  done  so  much 
to  make  Arizona  one  of  the  greatest  states  in  the  union.  His  father 
was  Harrison  Roland  Wills  and  his  mother  Rachel  Elizabeth  Gann. 
Thomas  Wills  was  born  January  17,  1866,  in  Mariposa  County,  Cali- 
fornia, but  when  he  wras  very  young  the  family  moved  to  Bakersfield, 
California,  where  his  father  engaged  in  the  stock  business  and  became 
prominent  on  account  of  his  business  qualifications  and  his  strong  per-

sonality.  Thomas  Wills  was  educated  in  California,  and  coming  to 
Arizona  July  5,  1883,  he  settled  in  Agua  Caliente.  He  lived  there 
about  a  year,  then  moved  to  San  Pedro,  where  he  has  since  lived,  ex- 
cept for  a  short  time  in  1892  when  he  was  with  the  Arizona  Charley 
Wild  West  Show,  which  started  for  the  World's  Fair  in  Chicago  and 
was  a  big  advertisement  for  Arizona.  Soon  after  coming  to  this  state 
Wills  became  a  stockman  and  rancher  and  has  succeeded  until  today 
he  is  one  of  the  big  men  in  his  line  in  the  state.  He  was  almost 
forced  into  public  life  and  in  1900  was  elected  for  a  two  years'  term  as 
supervisor.  At  the  end  of  this  term  he  was  elected  for  a  four  year

term  as  sheriff.  He  was  afterward  elected  twice  for  a  four  year  term 
as  supervisor  and  during  two  years  of  the  first  term  was  chairman  of 
the  board,  which  position  he  now  fills.  In  1910  he  was  elected  to  the 
Constitutional  Convention.  Mr.  Wills  is  a  member  of  Tucson  Lodge 
No.  385  of  the  Elks,  being  one  of  the  oldest  members  of  this  order  in 
the  state.  He  is  also  a  32nd  degree  Mason  and  a  member  of  the 
Mystic  Shrine.  In  1895  Mr.  Wills  married  Miss  Elizabeth  C. 
Chamberlain. 


A.  J.  HEAD,  pioneer  of  Hassayampa,  and  president  of  Head  Lum- 
ber Company,  has  cut  more  timber  in  Arizona  than  any  other  one 
man.  He  is  not  only  a  builder  by  profession  but  a  constructor 
through  force  of  habit.  He  was  one  of  the  first  mill  men  in  Arizona, 
having  come  here  by  stage  in  1876.  He  comes  of  a  line  of  machin- 
ists, brought  to  Arizona  considerable  experience  as  a  mill  man,  and 
when  the  great  mills  were  started  at  Hassayampa  was  foreman  of  the 
Clark  and  Adams  mills  for  several  years.  He  was  born  on  an  Ala- 
bama plantation  in  1848,  and  having  attended  little  country  district 
schools,  his  educational  advantages  were  very  limited.  His  father 
died  at  Mobile  in  the  Confederate  Army  in  1864.  He  continued  to 
work  on  the  cotton  plantation  until  1870,  when  he  engaged  in  saw 
mill  work  with  his  uncle  in  the  southern  part  of  the  state,  and  for 
six  years  continued  to  work  in  and  about  saw  mills  in  Alabama  and 
Florida.  He  left  Florida  in  June,  1876,  and  arrived  in  Prescott, 
August  4th,  where  his  first  job  was  making  hay  with  a  hoe  near 
Camp  Verde  for  government  post,  after  which  he  carried  a  hod  for  one 
week,  and  moulded  brick  for  one  month,  when  he  secured  work  at  his 
regular  occupation,  as  head  sawyer  in  a  saw  mill,  and  has  been  in  that 
and  lumber  business  since,  except  frcm  1886  to  1890,  when  he  was 
postmaster  of  Prescott.  During  this  time  he  bought  a  'ranch,  improved 
it,  and  sold  it  at  a  good  profit.  He  built  the  Prescott  postoffice  building, 
as  well  as  many  other  notable  buildings  in  the  city,  and  is  owner  of 
the  Head  Hotel,  a  theater  and  much  other  valuable  property.  The 
Head  Hotel,  Prescott,  which  is  conducted  mainly  by  Mrs.  Head,  is 
one  of  the  most  thoroughly  comfortable  in  Arizona.  The  rooms  are 
large,  airy  and  well  kept,  and  each  one  has  running  water  both  hot  and 
cold.  It  is  conveniently  and  pleasantly  located,  and  is  consequently 
one  of  the  most  popular  hotels  in  the  section  for  permanent  or  tran- 
sient trade.  Mrs.  Head,  who  prior  to  her  marriage  in  1884,  was  Miss 
Susie  Tigh,  is  a  native  of  Wisconsin.  She  was  well  known  as  a  pio- 
neer of  the  territory  and  was  known  throughout  Arizona  as  one  of 
the  first  teachers  at  Ash  Fork  and  one  of  the  best  educated  wromen  in 
the  territory.  She  is  a  graduate  of  the  State  Normal  School  at  Platte- 
ville,  Wisconsin.  They  have  one  daughter,  Viva,  who  has  been  gradu- 
ated from  the  New  England  Conservatory  of  Music,  Boston,  and  has 
been  in  Europe  for  the  past  two  years  studying  grand  opera.

ANDREW  THOMPSON  HAMMONS,  cashier  of  the  Old  Dominion 
Commercial  Company,  of  Globe,  Arizona,  was  born  in  Angelina 
County,  Texas,  March  7,  1868.  In  1877,  his  father,  J.  T.  Hammons, 
an  attorney  of  note,  removed  to  Eastland  County,  Texas.  Here  he 

was  elected  Judge  of  the  Coun- 
ty Court  by  popular  vote,  and 
served  in  this  capacity  for  six 
years.  Judge  Hammons  was  an 
excellent  pleader  and  public 
speaker,  and  was  generally  ac- 
knowledged the  leading  orator 
of  Northwest  Texas.  Among 
his  admirers  he  was  mentioned 
for  U.  S.  Senator.  He  is  still 
living  in  Texas,  but  being  ad- 
vanced in  age,  has  retired  to 
private  life.  Andrew  Thomp- 
son Hammons  was  elected  Clerk 
of  the  District  Court  of  his 
county  at  the  age  of  21  years, 
and  held  this  office  for  three  suc- 
cessive terms.  He  came  to 
Globe,  Arizona,  in  the  spring  of 
1900  and  immediately  went  to 
work  in  the  Old  Dominion 
Mines,  where  for  two  years  he 
served  in  various  capacities, 
from  mucker  to  ore  sorter,  and 
when  he  left  the  mines  he  rank- 
ed as  an  expert  on  the  ores  of 
the  district.  In  the  fall  of  1902 
he  was  appointed  cashier  of  The 
Old  Dominion  Commercial 
Company,  one  of  the  largest 
banking  and  commercial  com- 
panies in  Arizona,  and  has  been 
in  their  employ  continuously 
from  that  time.  In  addition  to  attending  to  the  duties  of  his  position 
as  cashier,  he  is  at  the  present  time  acting  as  assistant  to  the  general 
manager,  Governor  George  W.  P.  Hunt,  and  during  the  absence  of 
Governor  Hunt  made  necessary  by  his  duties  at  the  capitol,  Mr. 
Hammons  has  assumed  entire  charge  of  the  affairs  of  the  corporation. 
He  is  also  a  heavy  stockholder  in  various  mining  enterprises,  and 
president  of  the  Manitou  Hill  Copper  Company  and  the  Five  Points 
Copper  Mining  Company.  As  a  business  man  Mr.  Hammons  has 
been  a  thorough  success  from  every  viewpoint  and  is  held  in  highest 
esteem  among  the  public  with  whom  he  has  dealt  for  more  than 


\V  H()S      W  H  O 


twenty  years,  having  by  his  integrity,  veracity  and  firmness  won  their 
implicit  confidence.  He  has  ever  chosen  to  retrace  a  false  step  rather 
than  pursue  a  shadow,  and  this  is  probably  the  keynote  of  his  success, 
material  and  otherwise,  and  has  undoubtedly  enabled  him  to  get 
ahead.  Socially  Mr.  Hammons  stands  in  the  front  ranks.  He  has 
attained  the  highest  degree  in  Freemasonry,  is  a  member  of  the  Odd 
Fellow,  Knights  of  Pythias  and  Elks,  in  all  of  which  he  is  promi- 
nently known.  Politically  he  is  a  Progressive  Democrat,  a  great  ad- 
mirer of  Champ  Clark  and  the  principles  which  he  advocates,  and  has 
been  a  member  of  the  Democratic  Central  Committee  for  the  past 
eight  years,  having  served  as  chairman  of  that  committee  for  two 
terms.  Mrs.  Hammons,  who  was  Miss  Harriet  A.  Baker,  of  Onar- 
ga,  111.,  is  also  well  and  favorably  known  in  Globe,  where  she  takes  a 
prominent  part  in  church  and  social  matters.  She  is  the  daughter  of 
Colonel  H.  P.  Baker,  who  went  to  Illinois  from  the  East  in  the  early 
"Go-West"  days  and  became  the  owner  of  prairie  land  that  is  today 
worth  many  times  its  original  cost,  and  has  proven  a  very  profitable 
investment  for  Colonel  Baker.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Hammons  have  two 
daughters,  Edith  and  Dorothy.  Miss  Edith  has  been  attending  an 
eastern  seminary  from  which  she  is  about  to  graduate  as  valedictorian 
of  her  class;  and  Miss  Dorothy  is  attending  the  high  school  of  Globe, 
their  home  town,  preparatory  to  taking  an  advanced  course  in  the  east. 


Vic  E.  HANNY,  whose  slogan,  "//'  you  don't  knoic  fie  Hanny  you 
ought  to,"  has  made  the  originator  one  of  the  best  known  figures  in 
Arizona,  and  his  unique  methods  of  advertising,  in  which  catchy  slo- 
gans dealing  with  common  sense  and  backed  up  by  honest  methods  and 
fair  values  has  made  his  store  one  of  the  best  known  and  most  popular 
men's  clothing  and  furnishing  stores  in  the  state.  Mr.  Hanny  arrived 
in  Phoenix  about  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago,  but  soon  left  for  Tucson. 
He  came  to  Arizona  with  plenty  of  confidence,  a  pleasing  personality 
and  a  determination  to  make  a  success  of  the  clothing  business,  and  to 
this  end  worked  in  various  capacities,  including  salesman,  clerk  and 
drummer,  having  covered  Arizona  on  the  road  for  several  years,  mak- 
ing acquaintances  and  a  reputation  as  a  booster.  He  was  first  associ- 
ated in  Tucson  with  Harry  A.  Drachman  in  the  shoe  business,  and 
later  in  the  firm  of  Brannen  &  Hanny.  That  his  confidence  in  his 
ability  to  make  good  was  well  founded  has  been  proven  by  the  fact 
that  he  has  now  one  of  the  finest  stores  of  its  kind  in  the  Southwest, 
and  a  business  that  is  growing.  Vic  Hanny  received  his  education 
mainly  by  contact  with  the  world  and  in  the  school  of  experience.  Al- 
though he  enjoys  a  large  acquaintance  and  many  friends  in  the  many 
cities  in  which  he  has  resided,  he  has  never  held  any  public  office.  As 
member  of  the  Pima  County  Republican  Central  Committee,  he  took 
a  prominent  part  in  politics,  but  the  urging  of  his  friends  and  the  im- 
portuning of  the  party  leaders  were  futile  in  their  efforts  to  have  him

385,  having  been  chosen  as  Exalted  Ruler  of  that  organization  in 
1903.  He  is  a  life  member  of  the  order.  He  is  also  a  member  of

ROBERT  L.  PINYAN,  chief  of  police  of  Globe,  Arizona,  and  assessor 
and  tax  collector  ex-officio,  is  a  native  of  Arkansas,  having  been  born 
at  Pea  Ridge,  in  1869.  He  is  the  son  of  George  W.  and  Nancy  Daw- 
son  Pinyan.  Mr.  Pinyan  was  educated  in  the  common  schools  of  Ar- 

kansas  and   Colorado.      He  came  to 

Arizona  in  1900,  located  at  Globe 
and  commenced  work  as  a  miner 
with  the  United  Globe  Mining 
Company.  He  showed  such  marked 
ability  that  he  was  promoted  several 
times  and  held  the  position  of  fore- 
man when  he  was  appointed  chief  of 
police.  After  having  served  a  short 
term  by  appointment  he  announced 
himself  as  a  candidate  in  the  primary 
election,  and  from  a  field  of  nine  re- 
ceived a  large  majority,  his  work 
having  been  so  satisfactory  that  the 
business  and  professional  men  of  the 
town  united  and  worked  for  his  elec- 
tion. He  is  chairman  of  the  board  of 
school  trustees,  and  will  have  charge 
of  the  erection  of  a  high  school  with- 
in the  next  year.  During  his  term 
of  office  the  improvements  in  the 
Globe  city  schools  have  been  marked 
and  the  system  at  the  present  time  is 
considered  one  of  the  best  in  the 
state.  Chief  Pinyan  is  not  only  one 

of  the  ablest  officers  in  the  state  and  leader  in  the  civic  life  of  Globe, 
but  is  also  prominent  in  fraternal  circles,  being  a  member  of  the  Elks 
and  Mystic  Circle.  He  was  united  in  marriage  with  Miss  Ellen  Bal- 
mear,  of  Animas  City,  Colorado,  and  to  the  union  have  been  born  four 
bright  and  interesting  children,  two  boys,  Charles  and  Leslie,  and  two 
girls,  Ruth  and  Sunshine. 


TRAVELERS  in  Northern  Arizona  no  longer  dread  the  trip  to  St. 
Johns,  as  the  Holbrook  and  Springerville  Stage  line,  on  which  three 
Stanley  Steamers  are  used,  is  now  rated  as  one  of  the  best  in  the 
Southwest,  and  the  ride  is  considered  a  pleasure.  The  automobiles 
leave  Holbrook  daily,  making  the  trip  one  way,  each  day,  while  an 
extra  car  is  kept  in  reserve  at  all  times.  The  route  is  through  Wood- 
ruff, Hunt,  Concho  and  St.  Johns  to  Springerville.  The  machines 
are  in  the  hands  of  competent  drivers,  who  are  also  mechanicians  and 
the  old  fear  of  an  accident  loses  its  terror  on  the  new  line.  Parks 
Brothers,  who  control  the  line,  have  spared  no  expense  to  make  the

service  first  class  and  throughout  the  state  the  reputation  they  have 
established  by  the  manner  in  which  they  conduct  the  line  is  enviable. 
The  automobile  leaves  the  Holbrook  Hotel  every  day  at  9  :30  a.  m. 
and  arrives  in  Springerville  before  supper  time.  The  roads  have  been 
put  into  good  condition  and  the  trip,  often  taken  by  tourists  as  a  re- 
creation, is  becoming  more*  popular  with  continued  success.  The  low 
rate,  $13.00  for  the  round  trip,  makes  the  trip  one  of  the  cheapest  of 
its  kind  in  the  state,  and  the  lack  of  railroad  connections  to  the  county 
seat  of  Apache  is  but  little  missed  at  present. 


BENJAMIN  BROWN,  live  stock  dealer  and  real  estate  man,  has  with- 
out doubt  handled  more  cattle  and  sheep  than  any  other  man  in 
Northern  Arizona,  during  the  32  years  he  has  been  in  the  state, 
having  come  here  in  1880.  He  not  only  handles  many  sheep  and 

cattle  but  has  also  been  active  in 
the  handling  of  ranches  and  other 
real  estate.  Three  brothers  came 
to  Holbrook,  spent  the  winter 
along  the  Colorado  and  later  mov- 
ed south.  Mr.  Brown  then  went  to 
Nutrioso  in  the  spring  of  1881, 
started  in  the  cattle  and  lumber 
business  and  has  been  actively  en- 
gaged in  different  pursuits  since 
that  time.  He  brought  the  first 
sawmill  to  the  head  of  the  Colo- 
rado River,  hauling  it  in  from 
Utah  with  teams.  He  manufac- 
tured lumber  for  a  score  of  years 
and  after  he  retired  his  descend- 
ants took  up  the  business  and  are 
still  engaged  in  the  work.  He  is 
the  father  of  nine  children,  eight 
girls  and  one  son,  eight  of  whom 
are  living,  and  Mr.  Brown  is  the 
grandfather  of  35  grandchildren, 
and  nine  great-grandchildren.  Al- 
though nearly  three  score  and  ten 
Mr.  Brown  is  hale  and  hearty 
and  still  as  active  as  his  grand- 
children. His  parents,  Mr.  and 

Mrs.  Lorenzo  Brown,  crossed  the  plains  with  the  Mormon  caravan 
in  1848,  and  after  having  played  an  active  part  in  the  development  of 
the  state  of  Utah,  came  to  Arizona,  where  both  died  several  years 
ago.  They  were  both  exiled  with  other  members  of  their  faith  from 
Nauvoo,  111.,  in  the  early  forties,  Mr.  Brown  being  but  a  babe  when

the  colony  was  expelled.  Although  without  political  aspiration,  he 
has  often  been  urged  to  accept  political  offices,  hut  preferred  to  attend 
to  his  home  duties,  and  the  different  enterprises  to  which  he  gave 
attention,  but  he  has  been  a  power  in  the  Democratic  party. 


M.  C.  HANKINS,  mayor  of  the  City  of  Douglas,  was  born  in  Cald- 
well  County,  Texas,  August  5,  1877,  and  is  the  son  of  Lola  G.  and 
John  M.  Hankins.  His  parents  having  been  in  moderate  circum- 
stances, he  received  his  education  entirely  in  the  public  schools  and  at 

the  age  of  sixteen,  was  com- 
pelled to  begin  earning  his 
own  living.  His  first  posi- 
tion was  with  a  general  mer- 
cantile establishment  near  his 
home,  with  whom  he  remain- 
ed seven  years.  In  Decem- 
ber, 1900',  he  left  for  Ari- 
zona and  landed  in  Bisbee. 
Having  been  unable  to  secure 
employment  in  his  accustom- 
ed line,  he  took  a  position 
with  the  Copper  Queen  Com- 
pany at  the  smelter,  and  has 
been  in  their  employ  almost 
continuously  since  that  time. 
He  now  holds  the  position  of 
assistant  foreman  of  the  re- 
duction works  at  Douglas. 
Air.  Hankins  has  always 
been  an  interested  worker  in 
political  matters  for  his  party 
but  has  never  held  an  elec- 
tive position,  having  been  ap- 
pointed to  his  present  position  of  mayor  to  fill  the  unexpired  term  of 
J.  H.  Baker,  resigned.  He  is  also  County  Chairman  of  the  Demo- 
cratic Central  Committee,  and  these  constitute  the  only  political  hon- 
ors ever  bestowed  upon  him.  Mr.  Hankins  is  also  actively  interested 
in  fraternal  affairs,  is  a  member  of  the  Elks,  Odd  Fellows,  and  Wood- 
men of  the  World,  and  has  held  the  position  of  Council  Commander 
of  the  latter  association.  He  is  married  and  has  one  daughter,  Lola 
Emma  Hankins. 

THE  ARIZONA  LUMBER  &  TIMBER  COMPANY  is  one  of  Northern 
Arizona's  largest  and  most  notable  industries  which  emerged  from  an 
enterprise  whose  history  is  the  history  of  Flagstaff,  and  dates  back  to 
the  year  1882.  In  that  year  Edward  Aver,  of  Chicago,  began  to  build 
a  mill  there.  The  Aver  Lumber  Company  was  soon  formed,  but  was 


IN      ARIZONA 


later  disposed  of  to  D.  M.  Riordan,  who  carried  on  the  business  under 
the  title  of  The  Arizona  Lumber  Company.  In  July,  1887,  this  mill 
in  the  wilderness  was  destroyed  by  fire,  but  the  capital  and  enterprise 
behind  the  new  management  were  soon  manifested,  order  was  evolved 
out  of  chaos,  and  a  new  and  improved  mill  erected  on  the  old  site. 
The  title  of  the  company  was  then  changed  to  The  Arizona  Lumber 
&  Timber  Company.  Under  the  new  conditions  a  decided  increase  of 
business  resulted  and  their  success  was  continuous  until  1898,  when 
another  fire  occasioned  extremely  heavy  losses  during  their  busiest  sea- 
son. Once  again,  however,  negotiations  were  entered  into  for  the  re- 
building of  the  plant,  the  plans  for  the  new  one  aiming  to  make  it  the 
finest  sawmill  in  the  West  and  one  of  the  most  complete  in  the  world, 
in  the  construction  of  which  every  known  precaution  against  fire  was 
taken.  Since  the  completion  of  this  modern  plant,  the  business  of  the 
company  has  continued  to  increase  and  its  trade  now  extends  not  only 
throughout  Arizona  but  through  the  adjacent  territory  in  the  United 
States  and  Mexico.  The  Arizona  Lumber  &  Timber  Company  also 
owns  and  controls  the  Central  Arizona  Railroad  Company,  through 
ownership  of  stock.  In  addition  to  the  lumber  business  the  members 
of  the  company  are  also  interested  in  stock  raising. 


CHARLES  A.  GREENL^W,  manager  of  the  Greenlaw  Lumber  Com- 
pany, of  Flagstaff,  wTas  born  at  St.  Stephens,  New  Brunswick,  in 
1855,  but  was  reared  and  educated  in  the  State  of  Maine,  where  the 
family  removed  when  he  was  very  young.  Brought  up  in  the  midst 
of  a  purely  lumber  country,  he  became  thoroughly  familiar  with  every 
detail  of  the  business,  and  was  thereby  fitted  in  a  practical  way  for  his 
present  position.  Mr.  Greenlaw  went  to  Minneapolis  in  1877,  where 
he  was  engaged  in  lumber  business  for  three  years,  when  he  moved 
further  west  and  lumbered  on  the  divide  in  Colorado.  He  came  to 
Flagstaff  in  1882,  before  the  railroad  was  run  through,  and  for  sev- 
eral years  was  identified  with  the  Ayer  Lumber  Company,  but  in  1886 
he  formed  a  partnership  with  his  brother,  E.  F.  Greenlaw,  under  the 
firm  name  of  Greenlaw  Brothers,  who  had  a  large  mill  and  became 
contractors  for  the  Arizona  Lumber  &  Timber  Company.  From  the 
firm  of  Greenlaw  Brothers  was  finally  evolved  the  present  firm  of 
Greenlaw  Lumber  Company,  which  is  one  of  the  most  substantial  and 
prosperous  enterprises  of  its  kind  in  the  state.  In  politics  he  is 
Republican,  and  has  served  one  term  as  member  of  the  Board 
of  Supervisors.  Mr.  Greenlaw  is  prominently  known  in  the  Masons, 
Odd  Fellows  and  Elks.  He  was  married  in  1883  to  Miss  Eleanor 
Lamport,  and  they  have  one  of  the  finest  homes  in  Flagstaff.  Their 
family  consists  of  two  sons  and  four  daughters.  The  oldest  son,  Eben, 
is  associated  with  the  Greenlaw  Lumber  Company.

WALTER  DOUGLAS,  General  Manager  of  the  Phelps,  Dodge  &  Co.

and  is  the  son  of  James  and  Naomi  Douglas.  Mr.  Douglas  received 
his  education  at  Upper  Canada,  Morrin,  and  the  Royal  Military 
Colleges,  all  of  Canada,  and  took  a  post  graduate  course  in  the  School 
of  Mines  of  Columbia  University,  New  York.  He  came  to  Arizona  in 
1890,  when  he  became  Engineer  of  the  Commercial  Mining  Co.  of 
Prescott ;  in  1892  he  became  associated  with  the  Consolidated  Kansas 
City  Smelting  &  Refining  Co.  as  metallurgist,  but  in  1894  returned 
to  Arizona  and  has  since  been  associated  with  the  Phelps,  Dodge  & 
Co.  interests,  of  which  he  was  made  General  Manager  in  1910.  Be- 
ing unable  to  secure  proper  concessions  from  the  large  railroads  in 
the  southwest,  the  interests  which  he  represented,  under  his  direction, 
built  their  own  lines,  the  El  Paso  &  Southwestern,  the  only  road  of

STUART  W.  FRENCH,  General  Manager  of  the  Copper  Queen 
Consolidated  Mining  Company,  has  been  associated  with  the  Com- 
pany since  1899,  wrhen  he  came  to  Bisbee  to  accept  a  position  as  As- 
sistant Superintendent.  Mr.  French  was  born  in  Dansville,  N.  Y., 
in  1867,  and  is  the  son  of  B.  W.  and  Martha  Brown  French.  Most 
of  his  early  life  was  spent  in  Chicago,  however,  where  his  father  was 
General  Manager  of  one  of  the  large  Insurance  Companies.  In  Chi- 
cago Mr.  French  attended  the  public  schools,  and  prepared  in  the 
High  School  for  admission  to  Amherst  College,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  in  1889.  He  returned  then  to  Chicago  and  took  a  position 
with  the  Home  Fire  Insurance  Company.  Later  he  established  a 
local  and  general  agency  of  his  own,  and  in  partnership  with  others 
was  engaged  in  the  insurance  business  until  he  came  to  Arizona.  In 
1904,  when  a  change  was  instituted  in  the  organization  of  the  Copper 
Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company,  Mr.  French  wras  made  As-

JOHX  CAMPBELL  GREEXWAY,  general  manager  of  the  Calumet  & 
Arizona  Mining  Company,  Warren,  Arizona,  was  born  in  Huntsville, 
Alabama,  July  6,  1872,  the  son  of  Dr.  Gilbert  Christian  Greenway 
and  Alice  (White)  Greenway.  He  is  descended  of  a  notable  line  of 
Southerners,  his  father  and  grandfather  having  been  soldiers  under  the 
Confederate  flag.  Isaac  Shelby,  first  Governor  of  Kentucky,  and  Capt. 
John  Campbell,  of  King's  Mountain  fame,  are  two  members  of  the 
family  whose  names  stand  out  conspicuously  in  the  history  of  Colonial 
days. 

Mr.  Greenway,  who  ranks  today  with  the  world's  greatest  mine 
managers,  had  splendid  educational  advantages,  but  to  this  he  added 
practical  experience  which  has  fitted  him  for  his  present  place  in  the 
mining  world.  He  was  graduated  from  the  Episcopal  High  School  at 
Alexandria,  Virginia,  then  entered  Andover  Academy  at  Andover, 
Massachusetts.  He  attended  the  University  of  Virginia  and  from 
there  went  to  Yale  University,  where  he  received  his  technical  train- 
ing. He  wTas  a  conspicuous  figure  in  Yale  from  his  freshman  year, 
when  he  was  chosen  a  member  of  the  "University"  football  team.  He 
was  graduated  with  the  degree  of  Ph.  B. ;  was  voted  president  of  his 
class,  also  the  most  popular  man.  He  played  right  end  on  the  famous 
McCormick  and  Hinkey  football  elevens  of  1892  and  1893  and  was 
catcher  for  the  famous  "Dutch"  Carter  on  the  Varsity  baseball  nines 
of  those  years,  an  athletic  career  which  is  part  of  the  history  of  the 
university. 

Upon  leaving  college,  Mr.  Greenway  sought  to  learn  the  practical 
side  of  the  steel  business,  beginning  at  the  very  bottom.  His  first  em- 
ployment was  as  helper  in  the  Duquesne  furnaces  of  the  Carnegie  Steel 
Company,  where  he  worked  for  a  dollar  and  thirty-two  cents  per  day. 
In  time  he  was  advanced  to  the  post  of  foreman  of  the  mechanical 
department  and  was  thus  engaged  when  the  Spanish-American  war 
was  declared  in  1898. 

Leaving  his  work,  he  hastened  alone  to  San  Antonio,  Texas,  and 
there  enlisted  as  a  private  in  the  famous  Rough  Rider  Regiment,  of 
which  Theodore  Roosevelt  was  colonel.  He  served  throughout  the 
war  with  his  regiment,  and  brief  though  those  hostilities  were,  was 
twice  promoted,  on  one  occasion  for  "bravery  and  gallantry  in  action". 
He  was  promoted  to  Second  Lieutenant,  and  at  the  battle  of  San  Juan 
Hill  was  advanced  to  First  Lieutenant  because  of  the  extraordinary 
courage  displayed  by  him  in  that  historic  engagement.  He  was  also 
recommended  to  Congress  by  Colonel  Roosevelt  for  the  brevet  of 


466 


WHO     S      WHO 


Captain  John  C.   Greenway 


IN      A  R  I  Z  O  N  A  467 

Captain.  In  his  history  of  the  "Rough  Riders,"  Colonel  Roosevelt 
paid  a  splendid  tribute  to  Captain  Greenway,  referring  to  him  as 

"A  strapping  fellow,  entirely  fearless,  modest  and  quiet,  with  the 
ability  to  take  care  of  the  men  under  him  so  as  to  bring  them  to  the 
highest  point  of  soldierly  perfection,  to  be  counted  upon  with  absolute 
certainty  in  every  emergency;  not  only  doing  his  duty,  but  always  on 
the  watch  to  find  some  new  duty  which  he  could  construe  to  be  his, 
ready  to  respond  with  eagerness  to  the  slightest  suggestion  of  doing 
something,  whether  it  was  dangerous  or  merely  difficult  and  laborious." 

Returning  from  Cuba  with  a  splendid  war  record,  Greenway  re- 
entered  the  steel  business  and  after  a  year  was  appointed  Assistant  Su- 
perintendent of  the  United  States  Steel  Corporation's  mines  at  Ishpem- 
ing,  Michigan.  His  work  in  this  connection  was  of  such  high  calibre, 
that  when  the  Steel  Corporation  purchased  of  J.  J.  Hill  the  Great 
Northern  Iron  Ore  lease  on  the  Mesaba  Range  in  Northern  Minne- 
sota, he  was  chosen  for  the  post  of  General  Superintendent  of  the  un- 
dertaking. This,  by  the  way,  was  one  of  the  most  extensive  opera- 
tions ever  launched  by  the  great  corporation,  and  Mr.  Greenway's 
conduct  of  it  was  a  personal  triumph  almost  as  celebrated  as  the  fa- 
mous Hill  ore  lands  themselves. 

Going  to  the  range  in  the  late  summer  of  1906,  Captain  Greenway 
located  the  town  of  Coleraine  on  the  shore  of  a  picturesque  lake  and 
began  the  work  immediately.  His  entire  stay  in  that  region  was  char- 
acterized by  a  perfection  of  organization  in  which  regard  for  the  hun- 
dreds of  men  who  worked  under  him  was  mingled  with  a  strict  disci- 
pline which  made  the  enterprise  one  of  the  great  industrial  successes  of 
this  generation.  In  addition  to  the  actual  work  of  superintending  the 
operation  of  the  plant,  Captain  Greenway  also  served  as  monitor  of 
the  town  and  its  people.  He  encouraged  home  building,  governed 
the  place  with  an  iron  hand  in  the  matter  of  gambling  and  other  forms 
of  dissipation  and  in  addition,  caused  the  installation  of  various  utili- 
ties and  numerous  public  conveniences.  These  latter  included  a  li- 
brary, a  perfectly  equipped  hospital,  a  school  building  costing  $75,000, 
an  athletic  field  and  extensive  parks.  His  other  public  services  in- 
cluded his  inducing  the  Steel  Corporation  to  install  the  sewer,  water 
and  light  systems  of  the  town  without  expense  to  the  employees. 

A  writer  in  "The  World  Today,"  referring  to  him  and  his  work  on 
the  Mesaba  Range,  characterized  him : 

"A  man  of  exemplar}'  habits,  who  inhibits  dissipation  by  example; 
a  tireless  worker,  this  man  who  does  things  is  of  that  new  type  of 
Americans  who  can  serve  corporations  and  at  the  same  time  serve  their 
day  and  generation." 

Upon  the  completion  of  his  work  in  the  Mesaba  region,  Captain 
Greenway,  1910,  accepted  the  appointment  as  General  Manager  of  the 
mining  operations  of  the  Calumet  &  Arizona  Mining  Company  of 
Bisbee,  Arizona.  His  offices  are  located  at  Warren,  a  suburb  of  Bis-

bee,  and  in  the  handling  of  the  affairs  of  the  company  he  has  displayed 
the  same  talent  for  effective  organization  and  telling  results  that  dis- 
tinguished him  in  his  previous  work. 

The  Calumet  &  Arizona  Mining  Company  is  the  lustiest  young 
copper  giant  of  Arizona,  now  ranking  as  the  tenth  largest  copper  pro- 
ducer in  the  world  and  just  beginning  to  get  into  its  stride.  The 
Calumet  &  Arizona  Mining  Company  is  the  only  large  copper  com- 
pany in  Arizona  not  running  its  own  stores  and  railroad,  considering 
it  both  a  fair  and  let-live  policy  to  leave  such  side  issues  to  others. 

The  Calumet  &  Arizona  Mining  Company  is  now  building  the 
most  modern  smelter  in  the  world  for  its  increasing  tonnage  of  Bisbee 
ores,  at  Douglas,  and  under  Mr.  Greenway's  aggressive  management 
is  acquiring  additional  properties  of  promise  in  many  Arizona  camps. 

In  addition  to  his  professional  work,  Captain  Greenway  has  taken 
an  active  personal  interest  in  public  affairs  and  while  he  has  never 
been  a  seeker  for  public  office,  has  been  a  steadfast  supporter  of  Colonel 
Roosevelt  in  political  matters.  The  two  men  became  close  personal 
friends  during  their  army  days  and  this  has  lasted,  growing  steadily 
stronger. 

Mr.  Greenway  was  one  of  the  sponsors  of  the  National  Progres- 
sive Party  and  was  one  of  the  self-constituted  committee  which 
brought  that  party  into  being  by  inviting  and  personally  escorting 
Colonel  Roosevelt  to  the  Progressive  National  Convention  held  in 
Orchestra  Hall,  in  Chicago  in  June,  1912. 

He  was  nominated  by  the  Progressive  Party  as  presidential  elector 
of  the  State  of  Arizona,  was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Regents  of  the 
University  of  Arizona,  is  President  of  the  Yale  Alumni  Association  of 
Arizona,  President  of  the  Warren  District  Country  Club  and  a 
member  of  the  Sons  of  the  American  Revolution. 


PERCY  GORDON  BECKETT,  general  manager  of  the  Old  Dominion 
Copper  Mining  &  Smelting  Co.,  Globe,  Arizona,  is  a  mining  engineer 
of  much  ability  and  varied  experience.  He  was  born  in  Quebec,  Can- 
ada, in  1882,  and  came  to  Arizona  in  1904,  and  for  two  years  was 
employed  by  the  Copper  Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company  in 
their  engineering  department  at  Bisbee.  In  1906  he  went  to  the 
Phelps  Dodge  Sierra  de  Cobre  property  at  Cananea,  Mexico,  where  he 
remained  for  one  year,  and  then  went  to  South  America  as  mine  super- 
intendent of  the  Capillitas  Copper  Company  of  Argentine,  spent  one 
year  in  this  position  and  returning  to  Bisbee,  re-entered  the  employ  of 
the  Copper  Queen.  In  1909  and  1910  he  was  superintendent  for  the 
Phelps  Dodge  Company  at  Courtland,  Arizona,  of  properties  which 
that  company  held  under  option,  and  the  following  year  again  went 
to  Bisbee  to  accept  a  position  as  assistant  superintendent  of  the  mine 
department  at  the  Copper  Queen  mine.  In  August,  1912,  Mr. 
Beckett  was  appointed  to  his  present  position,  and  has  since  made  his 
headquarters  at  Globe.

GRANT  H.  DOWELL,  Assistant  General  Manager  of  the  Copper 
Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company,  was  born  in  Lexington,  111., 
in  1866,  and  is  the  son  of  Alanley  and  Julia  Good  Dowell.  Mr. 
Dowell  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  and  prepared  to  teach,  to 
which  profession  he  devoted  ten  years,  mostly  in  Kansas.  He  then 
took  a  position  as  private  secretary  to  Mr.  H.  R.  Simpson,  General 
Manager  of  the  El  Paso  Smelting  Works.  His  next  move  was  to 
Douglas,  where  he  took  a  position  with  his  present  employers  as 
metallurgical  accountant  and  ore  buyer,  and  from  there  he  went  to 
Globe  to  act  as  superintendent  of  the  Old  Dominion  Copper  Com- 
pany. From  the  beginnirg  Mr.  Dowell's  efforts  in  this  particular 
line  of  work  have  been  attended  with  success  in  such  a  degree  as  to 
receive  the  marked  appreciation  of  his  employers,  as  each  move  has 
been  an  advancement  along  the  line,  and  his  present  position,  Assist- 
ant General  Marager,  is  one  for  which  is  selected  only  the  man 
capable  of  showing  results  in  the  handling  of  the  many  intricate 
questions  attendant  upon  the  responsible  position  which  he  holds. 
Mr.  Dowell  is  a  Mason  and  a  man  of  public  spirit,  interested  in  civic 
and  political  matters,  but  not  aggressively  so.  He  was  married  in 
1898  to  Miss  Anna  B.  Davidson  of  Eureka,  Kansas.  They  have  one 
daughter,  Isabel  Ruth.

GEORGE  KINGDON,  who  has  recently  severed  his  connections  in 
Globe  to  accept  a  position  as  general  superintendent  of  the  Cananea 
Consolidated  Copper  Company,  at  Cananea,  Sonora,  has  been  asso- 
ciated with  mining  development  in  Arizona  for  many  years.  From 
1^07  until  his  recent  resignation  he  has  been  superintendent  of  the 
United  Globe  Mines,  assistant  superintendent  of  the  Old  Dominion 
Mining  &  Smelting  Company,  and  superintendent  of  the  Old  Domin- 
ion Mine.  He  was  born  in  Devonshire,  England,  in  1867,  came  to 
America  with  an  older  brother  when  but  a  boy,  and  for  several  years 
worked  in  various  positions  in  the  East.  Mr.  Kingdon,  although  not 
continuously  a  resident  of  Globe  since  he  first  came  to  Arizona  in 
1883,  has  been  identified  with  mining  operations  in  this  district  for 
twenty-five  years,  in  the  employ  of  the  Old  Dominion  and  United 
Globe  Copper  Companies.  In  1883,  when  the  importance  of  discov- 
ery of  copper  at  Bisbee  had  become  generally  known  Mr.  Kingdon 
came  to  Arizona  and  for  three  years  divided  his  time  between  Bisbee 
and  Tombstone.  He  came  to  Globe  in  1886  and  was  in  the  employ  of

the  Old  Dominion  and  Phelps  Dodge  interests  until  1898,  when  he 
went  to  Hanover,  near  Silver  City,  N.  M.,  where  the  Phelps  Dodge 
Company  had  undertaken  the  development  of  a  copper  property.  He 
remained  there  until  1900  when  he  was  transferred  to  Picacho,  So- 
nora,  to  operate  a  gold  mine  owned  by  the  same  company,  and  from 
which  he  shipped  eight  cars  of  ore  that  netted  the  company  $135,000. 
In  1901  he  went  to  Nacozari  and  took  charge  of  the  development  of 
the  Moctezuma  mine,  where  he  remained  until  called  back  to  Globe 
to  direct  the  mine  work  for  the  Old  Dominion  and  United  Globe 
Companies.  He  has  been  there  ever  since  and  has  been  eminently 
successful  in  the  development  of  both  properties.  Mr.  Kingdon  was 
united  in  marriage  with  Miss  Maude  Kenyon,  a  descendant  of  one  of 
the  pioneer  families  of  the  Southwest,  her  father,  Charles  Kenyon, 
being  one  of  the  best  known  figures  of  the  pioneer  days  of  Arizona. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Kingdon  have  just  returned  from  an  extensive  Euro- 
pean trip.  Both  are  well  known  in  the  social  and  fraternal  life  of  the 
state.  Mr.  Kingdon  is  a  Mason,  while  Mrs.  Kingdon  holds  an  im- 
portant position  in  the  Eastern  Star.  Throughout  the  Southwest,  and 
especially  in  Northern  Mexico,  George  Kingdon  is  known  as  a  capable 
and  successful  mining  man,  and  he  carries  with  him  in  his  new  field  of 
effort  the  best  wishes  of  his  manv  friends. 


JOSEPH  PARK  HODGSON,  mine  superintendent  of  the  Copper 
Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company,  has  recently  entered  the  em- 
ploy of  of  the  Copper  Queen  Company,  having  come  from  Ishpeming, 
Mich.,  where  he  was  employed  about  the  iron  and  copper  mines  since 
1899.  During  the  five  years  immediately  preceding  his  coming  to 
Bisbee,  Mr.  Hodgson  was  associated  with  the  Breitung  interests, 
who  prior  to  his  connection  with  them,  were  owrners  of  large  landed 
tracts  and  abundant  capital,  but  with  rather  unsatisfactory  mining 
experience.  There  was  a  lack  of  equipment,  ore  had  been  badly 
graded  and  fallen  into  disrepute,  and  conditions  generally  were  so 
unsettled  as  to  require  heroic  treatment.  This  Captain  Hodgson,  as 
Assistant  Superintendent,  determined  to  administer,  and  that  he  car- 
ried out  his  determintaion  is  best  proven  by  the  fact  that  he  soon 
rose  from  the  position  of  Assistant  Superintendent  to  that  of  Super- 
intendent, and  then  General  Superintendent  of  these  large  interests. 
What  had  seemed  like  a  losing  venture  became  a  noted  success.  From 
one  small  property  at  the  outset  he  developed  five.  He  sunk  shafts, 
found  the  ore,  installed  the  proper  machinery  to  get  it  to  the  surface, 
and  developed  a  capacity  for  production  on  a  scale  so  economical  as 
to  compare  favorably  with  any.  Captain  Hodgson  was  born  in 
Lancashire,  England,  August  19,  1869.  He  attended  school  until  he 
passed  the  grades  required  by  law,  and  at  the  age  of  twelve  years 
took  a  position  in  a  store,  but  after  some  time,  having  become  dissat- 
isfied writh  the  small  pay  and  long  days  of  service,  he  decided  to  try

mining  and  secured  work  as  "mucker."  About  this  time  his  father 
died,  and  being  the  oldest  of  the  family,  additional  responsibility  de- 
volved upon  him,  so  he  worked  with  the  hope  of  securing  a  better 
position  and  wages.  His  skill  and  determination  attracted  consider- 
able attention,  ard  he  was  shortly  given  a  place  as  miner.  After 
four  years  as  miner  in  the  north  of  England  he  came  to  this  country 
and  located  in  Ishpeming.  With  the  Lake  Superior  Company  he 
first  worked  as  miner,  then  did  timbering  and  underground  repair 
work,  and  was  afterward  captain  of  the  Lake  Superior  Hematite 
mines,  the  youngest  captain  in  that  region.  He  quit  the  employ  of 
the  Lake  Superior  Company  to  enter  that  of  the  Breitung  interests.  The 
reasons  for  his  rapid  rise  are  to  be  found  in  the  personality  of  the 
man  himself,  for  from  the  very  region  in  which  he  advanced  from 
miner  to  General  Superintendent,  in  charge  of  more  than  1,400  men, 
comes  the  unqualified  statement  that  "He  has  risen  by  virtue  of  his 
ability,  his  application,  his  loyalty  and  his  wholesomeness.  He  has 


478  W  H  O  '  S      W  H  O 

been  clean  and  honest,  has  rung  right  all  his  life,  and  has  worked  hard 
and  straight  on,  ambitiously  and  successfully."  It  was  while  on  a 
visit  to  friends  in  Bisbee  that  he  was  made  the  offer  of  his  present 
position  and  accepted  it.  It  is  a  position  of  much  responsibility,  but 
Captain  Hodgson's  training  during  the  twenty-seven  years  that  he 
has  been  working  to  it  by  successive  stages,  and  the  knowledge  ac- 
quired thereby,  will  undoubtedly  insure  his  continued  success  in  this 
larger  field.  Mr.  Hodgson  was  married  in  Ishpeming,  Michigan,  in 
1890,  to  Miss  Ellen  Jewell,  and  with  their  family  of  five  children  are 
making  their  home  in  Bisbee.  He  is  a  member  of  the  York  Rite 
Council,  the  Scottish  Rite  Masons  and  the  Knights  of  Pythias.  He 
is  also  a  member  of  the  Lake  Superior  Mining  Institute,  Society  of 
American  Engineers,  and  a  Director  of  the  Young  Men's  Christian 
Association,  in  which  he  is  intensely  interested.  He  is  a  Director  of 
the  Negaunee  National  Bank,  at  Negaunee,  Michigan,  being  one  of 
the  organizers.  Mrs.  Hodgson  and  their  two  daughters  are  greatly 
interested  in  church  work,  and  in  the  work  of  the  Y.  W.  C.  A. 


ROGER  T.  PELTON,  chief  engineer  of  the  Copper  Queen  Consoli 
dated  Mining  Company,  was  born  at  Poughkeepsie,  N.  Y.,  in  1880. 
He  is  the  son  of  John  W.  and  Mary  R.  Pelton.  Mr.  Pelton  was  edu- 
cated in  his  native  state,  was  graduated  from  Columbia  University  as 
Mining  Engineer,  after  which  he  took  a  post  graduate  course  in  the 
same  school.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1904  as  engineer  for  the  Copper 
Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company  at  Bisbee,  where  he  displayed 
such  ability  in  his  work  that  he  was  made  chief  engineer  in  1907,  for 
this  corporation  which  employs  only  the  best.  Mr.  Pelton  was  mar- 
ried in  1907  to  Miss  Jennie  Jewel  Powell,  daughter  of  Colonel  L.  W. 
Powell,  prominently  identified  with  different  mining  companies.  They

been  as  reporter  on  several  Alabama  newspapers.  However,  he  soon 
became  engaged  in  railroad  work  in  a  clerical  capacity  from  which  he 
advanced  to  the  position  of  private  secretary  to  the  general  manager  of 
the  Rock  Island  R.  R.,  with  wThich  company  he  remained  for  a  period 
of  four  years.  He  subsequently  devoted  several  years  to  construction 
work  in  Mexico  and  at  various  points  in  Central  and  South  America. 
On  his  return  to  the  United  States  he  accepted  a  position  as  cashier  for

Mine  Supply  Company,  and  shortly  after  bought  out  the  Brown 
Brothers  machinery  business  which  has  been  incorporated  into  that  of 
the  Mine  Supply  Company.  Mr.  Joslin  is  also  interested  in  all  mat-

RICHARD  WILLIS  MAYNE,  General  Foreman  of  the  Old  Dominion 
Mining  Company,  was  born  at  Lone  Tree,  Nebraska,  February  18, 
1869.  His  father,  William  Mayne,  was  born  in  Akron,  Ohio,  came  to 
Nebraska  when  he  was  eighteen  years  old,  and  there  followed  the 
life  of  stage-driver  and  frontiersman,  and  was  killed  in  1876,  while

Old  Dominion  mine  as  miner,  and  later  as  timberman,  head  shaft-man 
and  shift-boss.  He  was  afterwards  made  successively  night  foreman, 
day  foreman,  and  in  1909  general  foreman,  which  position  he  now 
holds,  and  the  duties  of  which  include  charge  of  the  mine  department 
consisting  of  surface  work,  four  foremen  underground,  twenty-three 
shift-bosses  and  seven  hundred  men.  Mrs.  Mayne  died  June  10,  191 1,

mountaineer,  and  a  fine  rifle  shot.  He  attributes  the  success  he  has 
achieved  to  perseverance,  industry,  willingness  to  adopt  the  ideas  of 
others,  if  better  than  his  own,  attending  strictly  to  business,  and  see- 
ing that  those  under  him  do  the  same.  He  is  one  of  the  best  known 
men  in  Globe  and  vicinity.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Democratic

JOHN  LANGDON,  Master  Mechanic  of  the  Old  Dominion  Copper 
Company,  was  born  at  Hancock,  Michigan,  in  July,  1867,  and  is  the 
son  of  Leonard  Langdon,  one  of  that  town's  well  known  citizens.  He 
was  educated  in  the  public  schools,  learned  the  trade  of  machinist,  and 
worked  for  several  large  mining  companies  in  Houghton  County, 
Michigan.  Mr.  Langdon  first  came  to  Arizona  in  1904,  located  in 
Bisbee,  and  operated  a  diamond  drill  for  four  months.  He  then 
removed  to  Globe,  and  entered  the  employ  of  the  Old  Dominion  Cop- 
per Company  as  shop  foreman,  which  position  he  held  until  April, 
1906,  when  he  was  promoted  to  the  position  he  now  holds.  Mr. 
Langdon  is  known  as  one  of  the  prominent  citizens  of  Globe,  and  was 
a  member  of  the  Constitutional  Convention  from  Gila  County.  He 
was  married  at  Dollar  Bay,  Mich.,  in  1893,  to  Miss  Matilda  Haun, 
daughter  of  Frank  Haun.  They  have  two  daughters,  Mary  Dorothea

ROGER  WILLIAM  SCOFIELD,  Superintendent  of  the  Concentrator  of 
the  Old  Dominion  Mining  &  Smelting  Company,  was  born  in  Oswe- 
go,  New  York,  in  1861.  His  father,  Thomas  Scofield,  was  well

\V  H  O     S      WHO

known  in  the  civic  life  of  Oswego,  while  his  mother,  Mary  Bulger 
Scofield,  was  a  descendant  of  one  of  the  prominent  families  of  the 
Empire  State.  Having  completed  the  high  school  course,  Mr.  Sco- 
field took  a  course  in  chemistry  at  the  Oswego  State  Normal  School 
and  afterwards  worked  as  assayer  and  chemist  in  a  number  of  cities, 
but  he  considers  the  three  years  spent  in  Colorado  in  partnership  with 
Frank  Helleburg,  of  greatest  value  to  him  in  his  life  work.  Mr. 
Helleburg  was  a  chemist  and  assayer  of  renown,  and  the  firm  spent 
much  time  in  exploration  of  new  metals,  and  Mr.  Scofield  was  sent 
to  all  parts  of  the  country  to  gather  material  for  laboratory  work. 
He  was  connected  with  different  chloronation  and  cyanide  mills  in 
Colorado  with  concentrators  in  connection,  before  coming  to  Arizona. 
Another  reduction  plant,  similar  in  size  to  the  present  one,  is  now  in 
course  of  construction  by  the  Old  Dominion  Company,  and  as  soon 
as  this  is  completed  the  old  concentrator  will  be  thoroughly  remodeled. 
In  politics  Mr.  Scofield  is  an  independent,  and  believes  in  favoring 
individual  worth  rather  than  blindly  following  organization.  Frater- 
nally he  is  t\  32nd  degree  Mason,  having  taken  the  full  degrees  in 
both  Scottis.i  and  York  Rite  Masonry,  and  is  a  member  of  the 
Knights  Templar.  He  was  married  in  1888  to  Miss  Fannie  Goddard, 
of  Fairfield,  Iowa,  and  to  their  union  one  son,  Ralph,  has  been  born. 


L.  OGILVIE  HOWARD,  Superintendent  of  Reduction  of  the  Old 
Dominion  Mining  &  Smelting  Company,  brought  to  his  present  posi- 
tion a  wide  experience.  After  having  completed  a  course  at  McGill 
University,  in  Montreal,  a  school  which  has  turned  out  scores  of  the 
ablest  mining  men  in  the  country,  Mr.  Howard  went  to  Mexico, 
where  he  took  a  position  with  the  American  Smelting  &  Refining 
Company  as  chemist.  His  work  atracted  attention  and  he  was  given 
a  place  on  the  faculty  of  his  old  school  as  demonstrator  in  chemistry 
and  metallurgy.  After  having  spent  some  time  as  instructor  at 
McGill  he  returned  to  Mexico  and  again  became  affiliated  with  the 
American  Smelting  &  Refining  Company.  He  then  went  to  the 
Anaconda  Copper  Company,  of  Anaconda,  Montana ;  thence  to 
Humbolt,  Arizona,  as  chemist.  He  left  this  company  to  take  a  place 
with  the  Old  Dominion  as  Chief  Chemist,  and  in  1907  took  charge 
of  the  reduction  works.  Under  his  supervision  a  large  number  of 
improvements  have  been  made,  the  most  notable  being  the  increase  in 
the  capacity  of  the  concentrator  to  more  than  twice  its  former  capacity, 
which  work  is  now  being  completed. 


AXGUS  McALPiXE,  chief  clerk  of  the  Old  Dominion  Copper  Min- 
ing &  Smelting  Company,  was  born  in  Galveston,  Texas,  in  1874. 
His  parents,  William  K.  and  Sarah  Perry  McAlpine,  were  pioneers

of  the  Lone  Star  State.  After  having  completed  the  public  schools, 
Mr.  McAlpine  worked  in  an  attorney's  office  for  some  time,  gaining 
a  knowledge  w7hich  has  been  of  great  value  to  him  in  his  life  work. 
He  then  entered  a  bank  and  learned  the  business  from  the  ground  up, 
and  continued  in  this  line  until  he  came  to  the  Old  Dominion  in 
1902.  He  was  metallurgical  bookkeeper  for  some  time,  afterwards 
general  bookkeeper,  and  in  1906  he  was  promoted  to  his  present  posi- 
tion. He  is  well  known  in  fraternal  circles,  being  an  Elk  and  a  Ma- 
son, and  has  received  both  the  York  and  the  Scottish  Rite  degrees  in 
the  Masonic  order.  He  is  Past  Exalted  Ruler  of  the  B.  P.  O.  Elks, 
and  it  was  during  his  term  of  office  that  the  Elks'  building  was  com- 
pleted and  furnished.  This  building  cost  $75,000,,  and  is  one  of  the 
finest  in  the  state.  Mr.  McAlpine  is  a  Democrat  but  has  not  taken  an 
active  part  in  political  life.

from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1902,  and  was  there  appointed  in- 
structor in  chemistry.  He  held  this  position  during  the  succeeding 
three  years,  and  in  the  fall  of  1905  came  to  Arizona.  His  first 
position  here  was  assistant  chemist  for  the  Copper  Queen  Company 
at  Douglas,  and  this  has  been  followed  successively  by  his  being  ap- 
pointed chemist  for  the  Shannon  Copper  Company,  Clifton ;  chemist

IVAN  HARRY  BARKCOLL,  Superintendent  of  Mines  of  the  Old 
Dominion  Copper  Mining  &  Smelting  Company,  and  the  United 
Globe  mines  of  Globe,  was  born  June  27th,  1876,  at  Gallatin,  Daviess 
County,  Missouri.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1891,  and  since  that 
time  has  devoted  his  energies  very  nearly  exclusively  to  the  mining 
industry,  and  has  met  with  an  exceptional  degree  of  success  in  this 
field,  his  services  having  been  such  as  to  merit  advancement.  After 
some  time  working  in  Jerome  for  the  Clark  interests,  Mr.  Barkdoll 
and  his  associates  prospected  and  mined  in  Yavapai  County  until  the 
spring  of  1896.  From  there  Mr.  Barkdoll  went  to  Bisbee,  wrhere  he 
entered  the  employ  of  the  Copper  Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Com- 
pany as  a  miner,  continuing  in  that  capacity  until  1901.  Several 
months  of  that  year  he  was  engaged  in  mining  in  Tuolumne  County,

NORMAN  CARMICHAEL,  General  Manager  of  the  Arizona  Copper 
Company,  Ltd.,  Clifton,  was  born  near  Belfast,  Ireland,  in  1869. 
He  was  educated  in  his  native  city  and  lived  there  until  twenty-one 
years  of  age,  \\hen  he  came  to  the  United  States  and  became  engaged 
in  engineering.  In  1895  he  adopted  the  profession  of  mining  en- 
gineering, and  for  some  years  afterward  was  employed  handling 
mining  properties  in  British  Columbia.  In  1905  he  entered  the 
employ  of  the  Arizona  Copper  Company  as  mine  superintendent, 
after  two  years  in  this  position  was  appointed  to  succeed  Alexander 
Vietch  as  Assistant  General  Manager,  and  subsequently  was  pro-

WHO'S    WHO 

FREDERICK  WALPOLE  HOAR,  E.  M.,  of  Globe,  Arizona,  is  one  of 
the  best  known  mining  men  in  the  Southwest,  has  been  connected 
with  numerous  mining  interests  throughout  the  State,  having  held 
prominent  positions  throughout  the  Globe-Miami  district,  and  has 
won  distinction  in  his  calling.  He  is  the  son  of  R.  M.  Hoar,  a 
merchant  of  Houghton,  Michigan,  who  died  several  years  ago.  His 
career  has  been  most  interesting,  and  shows  what  can  be  accomplished 
by  perseverance.  Upon  graduating  from  the  High  School  he  entered 
the  Michigan  College  of  Mines,  at  Houghton.  Having  decided,  at 
the  end  of  the  first  year,  to  pay  for  his  own  education,  he  conceived 
the  scheme  of  selling  books,  paper,  instruments,  etc.,  to  the  other 
students  to  accomplish  this  end.  This  was  in  1893,  and  his  plan  has 
been  followed  continuously  by  other  students.  The  business  was 
launched  with  a  bankroll  of  twenty-five  dollars.  The  First  National 
Bank,  however,  paid  the  first  bills  without  charge,  a^d  in  thirty  days 
the  business  was  self-sustaining  and  proved  very  profitable  thereafter. 
In  1895  he  was  appointed  assistant  to  the  Professor  of  the  Mining 
Engineering  Department,  and  served  in  this  capacity  during  1895  and 
1897,  then  resigned  because  of  a  desire  to  get  into  the  field,  and  left 
for  Globe,  Arizona,  to  accept  a  position  with  the  Old  Dominion  Cop- 
per Mining  &  Smelting  Company,  as  assistant  mining  engineer  and 
chemist,  at  three  dollars  per  day.  Three  months'  work,  however, 
brought  an  increase  of  salary  to  one  hundred  dollars  per  month, 
three  more  brought  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  per  month  and  the 
position  of  chief  mining  engineer,  with  two  assistants.  Whenever  a 
man  was  wanted,  Mr.  Hoar  was  called  upon  to  take  the  place,  and 
ne  therefore  filled  the  position  of  chemist,  mining  engineer,  metallur- 
gist, smelter  superintendent,  master  mechanic,  foreman  and  acting 
manager,  at  various  times.  In  July,  1901,  he  received  the  appoint- 
ment of  manager  and  agent  of  the  entire  company  holdings,  to  succeed 
S.  A.  Parnall.  The  eastern  management  of  the  company  changed 
hands  in  1902,  and  the  new  management  asked  for  recommendations 
as  to  the  most  advisable  action  to  take  regarding  the  property.  Mr. 
Hoar  advised  the  building  of  modern  smelting  and  mining  equipment, 
which  the  directors  decided  to  install  after  due  consideration  and  ex- 
amination by  other  experts,  and  Mr.  Hoar  was  instructed  to  design 
and  install  the  plant  he  wanted.  About  two  years  wyere  consumed 
in  the  building  of  this  plant,  which  was  almost  completed  when  the 
Phelps  Dodge  Company  became  interested  in  the  property  and  Dr.  L. 
D.  Ricketts  wa«  aopointed  manager.  In  about  thirty  days  after  Mr. 
Hoar  left,  in  1904,  the  plant  was  in  operation.  He  next  located  in 
El  Paso,  where  he  opened  an  office  as  mining  engineer  and  metallur- 
gist. His  business,  being  successful,  has  taken  him  into  many  parts 
of  the  Territory,  and  he  moved  his  familv  to  various  towns,  as  busi- 
ness interests  warranted.  In  July,  1909,  he  moved  back  to  Globe, 
where  he  still  resides,  and  is  general  manager  of  the  Southwestern 
Miami  Development  Company,  as  wTell  as  associated  in  a  professional

American  Institute  of  Mining  Engineers,  is  a  32nd  degree  Mason,  an 
Elk,  and  has  the  degrees  of  Bachelor  of  Science  and  Engineer  of 
Mines  conferred  upon  him  by  the  Michigan  College  of  Mines.  Mr.

HEXRY  LOVIN,  Senator  from  Mohave  County,  is  a  Southerner  by 
birth,  having  been  born  in  North  Carolina,  but  a  through  and  through 
Arizonan,  and  one  of  the  men  wTho  came  West  with  meager  assets 
and  made  good.  Politically,  as  well  as  otherwise,  he  is  today  one  of 
the  State's  most  solid  citizens.  He  has  never  been  defeated  at  the 
polls,  and  in  his  various  other  undertakings  he  has  met  with  like 
success.  It  was  Mr.  Lovin  who  grub-staked  the  man  who  discovered 
the  Gold  Roads  mine,  and  if  for  no  other  reason  than  this,  his  name 
in  Arizona's  history  would  be  made  memorable,  as  the  Gold  Road 
has  made  a  marvelous  record  as  a  producer  of  gold,  and  has  done 
much  toward  giving  Arizona  a  place  in  the  records  of  gold-producing 
sections.  Its  output,  already  amounting  to  millions  of  dollars,  has 
attracted  attention  from  the  entire  world.  Senator  Lovin  sold  his 
interest  to  the  present  owners  of  the  mine,  who  have  extensively 
developed  it,  and  have  been  the  means  of  bringing  many  valuable 
citizens  to  that  vicinity.  Mr.  Lovin  has  twice  been  elected  Sheriff 
of  Mohave,  his  majority  at  the  second  election  having  greatly  exceeded 
that  received  at  the  first.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Constitu- 
tional Convention,  and  his  popularity  as  Mohave's  representative 
citizen  could  not  be  disputed  after  the  handsome  majority  accorded 
him  in  his  candidacy  for  member  of  the  First  State  Senate,  as  he 
received  twTice  as  many  votes  as  were  polled  for  two  opponents.  Mr. 
Lovin  knows  the  people  he  represents,  and  their  needs,  enjoys  their 
confidence  and  esteem,  and  he  is  especially  interested  in  the  welfare 
of  the  working  people,  and  familiarly  known  as  "Friend  of  the 
Miner."  He  has,  in  fact,  helped  many  a  man  at  a  critical  point, 
and  thus  enabled  him  to  attain  success,  has  financed  some  of  the 
greatest  projects  in  the  State,  and  by  his  aid  has  made  it  possible  for 
some  of  the  great  mines  of  Mohave,  the  gold-producing  county  of  the 
north,  to  be  developed.  Senator  Lovin  is  head  of  a  large  mercantile 
establishment,  and  largely  interested  in  a  number  of  other  enterprises, 
among  them  a  freighting  business  by  which  he  makes  it  possible  for 
residents  of  the  section  to  get  their  supplies  and  machinery  moved  at  a 
reasonable  figure.  Like  his  colleague  from  Cochise,  Senator  C.  M. 
Roberts,  he  is  a  large  employer,  and  like  him  also,  he  owes  his  large 
majority  to  the  work  done  in  his  behalf  by  former  employes  and  people 
who  have  been  otherwise  associated  with  him  in  business.  Chivalrous,

Thomas  Davis 

HONT.  THOMAS  DAVIS,  mining  man  and  capitalist,  was  born  in 
Gloucester,  England,  August  31,  1861.  He  has  spent  almost  his 
entire  litetime  in  this  country  and  was  educated  in  San  Francisco, 
California.  Having  completed  his  education  he  was  engaged  in  mer- 
cantile business  for  a  short  while,  but  soon  quit  that  to  take  up  the 
study  of  law.  Shortly  afterwards  he  came  to  Arizona  and  located  in 
Final  County,  where  in  company  writh  Judge  R.  E.  Sloan,  he  acquired 
ownership  of  Kenilworth  Farm,  the  largest  farm  at  that  time  under 
cultivation  in  Arizona.  He  was  admitted  to  practice  in  this  state,  and 
was  one  of  the  four  Republicans  elected  to  the  first  Constitutional 
Convention  in  1891,  representing  Final  County;  again  in  1895  he 
represented  Final  County  in  the  Council  of  the  Eighteenth  Legisla- 
ture, after  which  he  returned  to  the  practice  of  law,  his  chosen  pro- 
fession, having  offices  in  Florence  and  Tucson. 

In  1900,  having  become  interested  in  mining  and  acquired  valuable 
properties,  he  gave  up  his  legal  work  entirely  to  devote  his  time  to  that 
industry.  While  his  holdings  in  Arizona  are  very  valuable,  they  are 
not  confined  to  this  state,  as  he  has  also  mining  interests  in  Canada, 
Mexico,  and  in  other  parts  of  the  Southwest.

In  politics,  Mr.  Davis  is  a  Republican,  and  for  30  years  he  has  been  a 
power  in  the  party  in  Arizona.  He  is  a  prominent  member  of  the 
Masonic  order  and  of  the  Mystic  Shrine,  and  is  one  of  the  represen- 
tative men  of  the  state.  He  was  married  September  1,  1891,  at  San 
Francisco,  California,  to  Ellen  Amanda  MacLean,  daughter  of  Cap-

THOMAS  E.  CAMPBELL,  well  known  mining  man  of  Yavapai 
County,  who  was  elected  Assessor  of  the  County  at  the  First  State 
Election,  having  long  been  keenly  interested  in  the  subject  of  taxation, 
has  displayed  an  exceptionally  strong  interest  in  the  affairs  of  his 
office.  Mr.  Campbell- was  one  of  the  prime  movers  in  the  formation 
of  the  State  Assessors'  Association,  and  because  of  his  comprehensive 
knowledge  and  thorough  understanding  of  the  tax  question,  was 
chosen  President  of  the  Association  at  the  last  election.  He  was  born 
in  Prescott  January  18,  1878,  of  Scotch-Irish  parentage.  His  father, 
Daniel  Campbell,  located  in  Prescott  in  1869.  Thomas  Campbell  at- 
tended the  public  schools  of  his  native  town,  was  graduated  from  the 
High  School  there,  and  finished  his  education  at  St.  Mary's  College, 
Oakland,  Cal.  During  his  college  course  he  gave  particular  attention 
to  the  study  of  Science  and  Economics.  Mr.  Campbell  has  held  a 
number  of  official  positions,  having  first  been  Assistant  Postmaster  at 
Prescott,  which  he  resigned  in  1898  to  accept  that  of  Acting  Post- 
master at  Jerome.  He  was  later  appointed  Postmaster  at  Jerome,  but 
resigned  that  office  in  order  that  he  might  devote  his  entire  attention 
to  his  mining  interests  in  the  northern  part  of  the  State.  In  1900, 
when  but  22  years  old,  he  was  elected  to  represent  Yavapai  County 
in  the  Legislative  Assembly,  and  had  the  distinction  of  being  the  first 
Native  Son  elected  to  such  a  position.  In  June  of  the  same  year  he 
married  Miss  Eleanor  Gayle  Allen,  daughter  of  H.  J.  Allen,  of  Je- 
rome, and  from  this  happy  mating  have  issued  two  sons,  Allen  and 
Brodie,  aged  ten  and  eight  years,  respectively.  In  the  fall  of  1906, 
elected  Chairman  of  the  Yavapai  County  Central  Committee,  he 
waged  a  strong  campaign,  taking  as  an  issue  "Equal  Taxation,  Hon- 
esty and  Ability  in  Public  Office,"  the  result  of  which  was  that  the 
County  obtained  a  Republican  administration,  the  first  in  many  years. 
In  appreciation  of  his  knowledge  of  taxation,  his  honesty  and  courage, 
he  was  appointed  County  Assessor  for  the  term  expiring  1910,  re-ap- 
pointed in  1911,  and  in  December  of  the  same  year  was  elected  by 
the  largest  vote  received  by  any  candidate  in  the  county.  As  assessor 
he  has  ever  been  foremost  in  promulgating  equitable  and  intelligent 
methods  of  assessing  all  classes  of  property  with  a  view  to  equitably 
distributing  the  burdens  of  taxation.  It  was  through  his  efforts  that 
the  Arizona  Assessors'  Association  was  created  in  1911,  when  Mr.

in  having  introduced  the  Acts  Creating  a  State  Tax  Commission,

methodical  home  study  and  reading.  He  has  been  a  resident  of 
Arizona  for  the  past  thirty  years,  and  is  perhaps  the  best  known  man

taken  an  active  interest  in  politics,  and  has  been  the  choice  of  his  party 
for  offices  of  trust  and  honor.  In  Coconino  County  he  served  sev- 
eral terms  as  sheriff,  and  one  term  as  Chairman  of  the  Board  of 
Supervisors.  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  61st  Congress  for  the  term 
1909-1911,  and  owing  to  the  admission  of  Arizona  to  the  Union,  his 
t^rm  of  office  was  extended  until  the  President's  proclamation,  Janu- 
ary, 1912.  In  1911  he  was  the  Republican  candidate  for  United

Arizona  Supreme  Court 

THE  SUPREME  COURT  OF  ARIZONA,  consisting  of  Alfred  Franklin, 
Chief  Justice,  and  Henry  D.  Ross  and  Donnell  L.  Cunningham, 
Associates,  is  the  first  since  the  organization  of  Arizona  to  represent 
the  choice  of  the  people.  And  being  the  choice  of  the  people,  Arizona 
has  the  utmost  confidence  in  the  men  selected  for  the  conduct  cf  this, 
the  court  of  last  resort  in  the  State,  who  are  answerable  only  to  the 
people  of  the  commonwealth.  They  are  all  men  who  have  seen  the 
Territory  develop  in  wealth,  importance  and  standing  in  the  Union, 
and  finally  develop  into  the  Forty-eighth  State;  men  wrho  have  been 
for  years  intimately  associated  with  its  legal  fraternity  in  both  private 
practice  and  in  County  and  Territorial  offices.  Chief  Justice  Frank- 
lin is  the  son  of  former  Governor  Franklin,  whom  he  served  as  private 
secretary,  and  he  was  later  Assistant  U.  S.  Attorney  for  Arizona. 
Judge  Ross  and  Judge  Cunningham  have  both  served  as  District 
Attorney.  They  are  acquainted  with  conditions  in,  and  are  alive  to 
the  best  interests  of,  Arizona,  and  no  more  able  men  ever  graced  a 
Supreme  Bench. 


ALFRED  FRANKLIN  came  to  Arizona  in  1893  and  engaged  in  the 
general  practice  of  law  at  Phoenix,  where  he  has  since  continually 
resided.  He  was  Assistant  United  States  Attorney,  member  of  the 
Constitutional  Convention,  and  was  elected  Chief  Justice  of  the 
Supreme  Court  at  the  first  State  election. 


HENRY  D.  Ross,  Associate  Justice  of  the  first  Supreme  Court  of 
Arizona,  wTas  born  in  Independence  County,  Arkansas,  September  12, 
1861.  His  early  life  was  spent  on  a  farm.  He  first  attended  the 
public  schools,  then  Clark's  Academy,  at  Berryville,  Arkansas.  He 
took  his  law  course  in  the  University  of  Iowa,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  with  a  LL.  B.  degree  in  1883.  Judge  Ross  came  to 
Arizona  in  1885,  and  during  the  first  two  years  of  his  residence  here 
taught  school,  before  devoting  his  time  exclusively  to  the  practice  of 
his  profession.  In  1889  and  1890  he  served  as  District  Attorney  of 
Yavapai  County,  and  during  the  succeeding  two  years  as  District 
Attorney  of  Coconino  County,  while  in  1893  and  1894  he  repre- 
sented the  latter  county  in  the  Assembly.  His  next  official  position 
was  Register  of  the  Land  Office  in  Prescott,  which  he  resigned 
after  three  years  to  become  District  Attorney  of  Yavapai  County, 
and  the  latter  position  he  resigned  in  1911,  when  elected  member  of 
the  Supreme  Court.  Until  his  election  to  the  Supreme  bench,  Judge 
Ross  was  in  active  practice,  and  from  1894  a  member  of  the  firm  of 
Ross  &  O'Sullivan,  of  Prescott.  During  the  years  since  he  attained 
to  prominence  in  his  profession,  he  has  been  a  substantial  friend  to 
the  young  lawyer,  and  some  of  Arizona's  brightest  attorneys  today

attribute  their  success  in  part  to  his  judicious  instruction.  Judg 
Ross  was  married  April  24,  1890,  to  Miss  Margaret  Wheeler. 
Mrs.  Ross  is  one  of  the  most  socially  charming  women  of  the  Capital 
city,  their  present  home,  is  educated  in  art  and  music,  and  a  leading 
member  of  the  Musicians'  and  Woman's  Clubs  of  that  city.  They

DONNELL  LAFAYETTE  CUNNINGHAM,  member  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Arizona,  was  born  in  Gaylesville,  Alabama,  April  21,  1866. 
He  was  educated  in  that  town  and  was  graduated  from  the  Gayles- 
ville High  School,  an  incorporated  academy.  Judge  Cunningham 
received  his  instruction  in  law  from  John  L.  Burnett,  one  of  the 
State's  leading  attorneys,  and  now  a  member  of  Congress  from 
Alabama.  In  the  meantime  he  had  worked  on  a  farm  and  taught 
sciiool  for  a  time  in  the  vicinity  of  his  home,  and  was  admitted  to 
practice  in  the  circuit  court  at  Center,  Alabama,  December  23,  1887. 
Tn  January  of  the  next  year  he  began  to  practice  at  Ashville,  and 
was  also  editor  of  the  "St.  Clair  Advance,"  a  weekly  newspaper. 
In  February,  1899,  he  removed  to  Fort  Payne,  practiced  there  for 
about  four  years,  and  in  1893  went  to  Colorado.  He  spent  one  year 
in  Trinidad,  then  proceeded  to  Cripple  Creek  at  the  close  of  the 
"Bull  Hill  War."  There  he  at  first  engaged  in  the  practice  of  law, 
but  after  a  few  months  took  up  mining  and  stock  brokerage,  and 
operated  on  the  stock  exchange  until  April,  1896,  when  the  town 
was  destroyed  by  fire.  Practically  everything  in  the  town  was 
destroyed,  and  judge  Cunningham's  sole  remaining  assets  being 
one  office  chair,  he  assisted  in  the  work  of  constructing  tents 
and  shacks  for  shelter  until  business  was  again  made  possible,  when 
he  accepted  a  position  as  salesman  in  a  grocery  store.  The  next 
\ear  he  left  with  two  friends  to  seek  a  new  location,  with  no  definite 
destination  in  mind,  and  arriving  in  the  Blue  Mountains  of  Utah, 
they  flipped  a  coin  to  decide  whether  it  should  be  Idaho  or  Arizona. 
The  latter  won  and  they  preceded  thither,  crossed  the  Navajo 
country  and  the  Painted  Desert  from  Bluff,  Utah,  and  reached 
Flagstaff  August  14,  1897.  Here  Judge  Cunningham  worked  as  a 
laborer  for  several  months,  then  came  to  Phoenix  with  his  friends, 
and  they  made  their  home  under  the  cottonwood  trees  on  South 
Second  Avenue,  about  six  blocks  south  of  the  Court  House.  In  the 
spring  he  returned  to  Flagstaff,  where  he  was  employed  for  a  time 
in  the  lumber  mills  and  in  the  District  Attorney's  office.  His  next 
move  was  to  Williams,  where  he  opened  an  office  and  was  elected 
first  City  Attorney,  practiced  there  several  years,  and  in  1904,  while 
practicing  in  Tombstone,  was  married  to  Mrs.  Louisa  Leavenworth 
on  March  10th.  He  served  as  District  Attorney  of  Cochise  County, 
and  was  one  of  the  County's  delegates  to  the  Constitutional  Conven- 
tion, in  which  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Judiciary  Committee.

lived  on  a  farm  in  Nebraska  until  he  was  twenty  years  of  age,  and 
received  his  early  education  in  that  State.  At  that  time  he  came  to 
Arizona,  located  in  Bisbee,  and  went  to  work  in  the  mines,  which 
work  he  continued  until  he  had  sufficient  funds  to  enable  him  to  at- 
tend school  and  prepare  for  the  study  of  law.  He  then  attended 
Shattuck  Military  School,  at  Faribault,  Minnesota,  from  which  he 
was  graduated,  and  at  once  returned  to  Nebraska,  where  he  entered 
the  Law  School  of  the  State  University,  completed  the  course,  and 
was  graduated  in  June,  1902.  In  January  of  the  next  year  he  re- 
turned to  Bisbee  and  opened  an  office  to  engage  in  private  practice, 
and  until  his  election  as  Judge  of  the  County,  made  Bisbee  his

Gavock.  Their  present  home  is  at  Tombstone,  the  county  seat. 


Frank  Bray  L.aine 

FRANK  BRAY  LAINE,  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Greenlee 
County,  came  of  a  line  of  distinguished  jurists.  His  father,  Thomas 
Henry  Laine,  was  one  of  the  ablest  attorneys  in  California.  He 
was  a  member  of  the  Constitutional  Convention  of  California  in 
1879,  and  the  Constitution  of  the  State  was  drafted  largely  from  one 
wrritten  by  him  and  submitted  to  the  Convention.  He  was  also  a 


506  WHO'S    WHO 

member  of  the  State  Senate  in  the  20th  and  21st  Legislatures  and 
was  active  in  behalf  of  progressive  legislation.  An  orator  of  much 
ability,  he  was  a  potent  factor  in  the  Democratic  party  and  an  in- 
fluence in  the  national  politics  of  that  day.  He  wras  also  prominent 
in  the  Masonic  order,  and  his  son,  Judge  Laine,  has  kept  the  family 
name  on  the  records  of  this  order  in  a  most  commendable  manner. 
The  Laine  family  has  long  been  connected  with  the  development  of 
the  country.  Judge  Laine's  grandfather  having  been  a  pioneer  bear 
hunter  of  Missouri.  Judge  Laine  is  a  native  of  California,  having 
been  born  in  San  Jose  in  1861.  He  was  educated  in  the  public 
schools  of  the  State  and  at  Franklin  Academy,  a  private  school  named 
in  his  honor.  He  studied  law  in  the  office  of  his  father,  the 
first  classical  graduate  in  the  State,  who  wras  graduated  from  the 
University  of  the  Pacific  in  1858.  Judge  Laine  has  attained  high 
honors  in  Masonry  in  both  the  York  and  Scottish  Rites,  having  taken 
the  32nd  degree.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  Knights  Templar ;  is 
Past  Master  of  the  Coronado  Lodge  No.  8  of  Clifton,  and  in  1910 
was  appointed  Grand  Orator  for  the  State  Lodge.  He  is  also  in- 
terested in  other  fraternal  organizations  and  is  Past  Exalted  Ruler 
of  the  Clifton  Lodge  of  Elks  No.  1174.  In  his  manner  of  dispensing 
justice,  which  has  been  highly  commended  for  fairness  and  depth  of 
knowledge,  Judge  Laine  has  shown  the  benefits  derived  from  his 
thorough  training  in  law.  His  eldest  son,  Thomas  Henry  Laine,  is 
nowr  a  student  in  the  office  of  Charles  S.  Wheeler,  one  of  San  Fran- 
cisco's well  known  attorneys,  and  his  other  son,  Harry  Nicholas 
Laine,  is  taking  a  special  course  at  Stanford  University. 


WILLIAM  FEXIMORE  COOPER,  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of 
Pima  County,  was  born  in  Dublin,  Indiana,  August  6,  1858.  His 
father,  John  Cooper,  was  one  of  the  leading  educators  of  that  State 
and  Superintendent  of  the  Public  Schools  for  more  than  half  a  cen- 
tury. Judge  Cooper  began  his  school  career  at  the  unusually  early 
age  of  four  years  and  attended  public  school  constantly  until  he  was 
graduated  from  the  high  school  at  the  age  of  twelve  years.  He 
then  attended  Otterbein  University  at  Westerville,  Ohio,  for 
one  year,  after  which  he  completed  the  classical  course  and  was 
graduated  in  1887  from  the  Peekskill  Military  Academy,  New 
York.  When  but  eight  years  old  he  manifested  an  enthusiastic 
interest  in  printing  and  began  working  in  a  small  office  on 
Saturdays  and  summer  vacation.  He  later  learned  the  printing 
trade,  and  has  been  engaged  in  newspaper  work,  both  as  em- 
ploye and  owner,  doing  local  and  editorial  work.  He  served  one 
year  writh  the  "Tucson  Citizen,"  doing  editorial  work,  and  was  for 
a  time  proprietor  and  editor  of  the  "Florence  Tribune."  During  the 
time  he  was  engaged  in  the  latter  capacity  he  renewed  the  study  of 
law,  which  he  had  undertaken  with  Honorable  William  A.  Peelle,

of  Richmond,  Indiana,  as  preceptor,  after  his  graduation  from  Peeks- 
kill  Academy.  After  one  year  and  a  half  his  system  showed  plainly 
the  result  of  overwork  during  his  last  two  years  at  school  and  at 
the  study  of  law,  and  a  physical  breakdown  wras  the  result.  This 
necessitated  an  entire  change,  and  several  years  following  spent  in 
Colorado  and  on  a  California  cow  ranch  completely  restored  his 
health,  and  twenty  years  ago  found  him  in  Arizona.  During  his 


William    Fenimore    Cooi»-r 


first  few  years  here  he  worked  as  miner,  printer  and  cowboy,  as  well 
as  editor,  until  1894,  when  he  passed  a  very  creditable  examination 
and  was  admitted  to  practice  before  the  Supreme  Court.  A  little 
later  he  was  admitted  to  practice  in  California.  In  1896  he  took  up 
his  residence  in  Tucson.  Here  he  gradually  began  building  up  a 
practice,  and  in  1898  was  persuaded  to  accept  the  Republican  nomi- 
nation for  District  Attorney  of  Pima  County,  was  elected,  and  at 
the  close  of  his  term  re-elected.  Having  become  a  thoroughly  pro-

ficient  stenographer,  he  was  appointed  in  1904  to  the  position  of 
Court  Stenographer,  which  he  held  until  19U8,  when  he  was  elected 
to  the  office  of  Probate  Judge.  In  1906  he  was  Republican  candi- 
date for  delegate  to  Congress,  and  while  defeated,  he  made  a  re- 
markable showing  in  his  home  county,  having  had  a  majority  of 
613  votes.  Mr.  Cooper  has  served  the  city  of  Tucson  as  councilman- 
at-large,  and  was  one  of  the  Republican  minority  in  the  late  Consti- 
tutional Convention.  He  has  always  been  a  staunch  Republican, 
and  was  elected  Judge  of  Pima  County  on  that  ticket  at  the  first  state 
election  held  in  Arizona.  He  was  the  first  Judge  of  the  Superior 
Court  to  qualify  in  the  new  state,  taking  the  oath  of  office  at  13  min- 
utes after  nine  o'clock  on  the  morning  of  February  14,  1912.  In  April, 
1894,  Judge  Cooper  was  married  to  Miss  Elizabeth  A.  Douglas, 
of  Florence,  a  native  daughter  of  Arizona.  Their  family  now  con- 
sists of  six  children — three  boys  and  three  girls.

Frank  J.    Duffy 


FRANK  J.  DUFFY,  judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Santa  Cruz 
County,  was  born  in  Waddington,  New  York,  April  3,  1866.  He 
first  attended  the  public  schools  and  afterwards  St.  Lawrence  Uni- 
versity, from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1888  with  the  degree  of 
Bachelor  of  Science.  In  the  same  year  he  came  to  Arizona  and  for 
five  years  was  engaged  in  educational  work  in  Phoenix  and  Globe. 
During  this  time,  however,  he  had  decided  to  make  the  law  his  life 
profession,  and  had  devoted  his  leisure  time  to  the  mastery  of  the  sub- 
ject. Having  removed  to  Nogales,  he  was  elected  justice  of  the  peace 
in  1896  and  re-elected  two  years  later,  which  position  he  held  at  the 
time  of  the  separation  of  Pima  and  Santa  Cruz  Counties,  when  he 
rendered  conspicuous  service  as  assistant  enrolling  and  engrossing 
clerk  and  arranged  the  complicated  matters  for  the  bill.  In  1899  he 
resigned  the  office  of  justice  to  accept  that  of  assessor,  and  in  the  same 
year  was  admitted  to  practice  in  Santa  Cruz  County.  In  1900  he  was 
elected  district  attorney  on  the  Democratic  ticket  and  his  administra- 
tion was  an  excellent  one.  He  has  long  been  regarded  as  one  of  the 
representative  lawyers  of  Arizona,  a  close  student  and  capable  expon-

ent  of  the  law.  In  1909  he  was  elected  to  the  25th  Territorial  Legis- 
lature, and  served  as  Chairman  of  the  Judiciary  and  Printing  Commit- 
tee, and  as  member  of  other  committees.  In  February,  1912,  he 
assumed  the  duties  of  his  present  position.  Judge  Duffy  is  the  son  of 
Michael  and  Mary  O'Brien  Duffy,  also  natives  of  the  county  in  which 
he  was  born.  He  was  married  January  18,  1905,  to  Miss  Annie  M. 
Parker.  He  has  one  son  and  one  daughter,  Francis  R.  and  Mary  L. 
Judge  Duffy  has  always  been  identified  with  movements  for  the  pro- 
gress of  his  adopted  town,  which  can  boast  of  no  more  efficient  worker 
in  its  behalf. 


CARL  G.  KROOK,  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Mohave  County, 
is  an  example  of  the  self-made  man,  and  has  had  an  interesting  ca- 
reer. Born  in  Minnesota,  August  18,  1870,  of  Swedish  parents, 
who  were  pioneers  of  that  State,  he  was  reared  in  a  German  com- 
munity, learned  the  language  thoroughly,  and  has  found  its  use  of 
great  benefit  in  his  work  both  as  lawyer  and  Judge.  His  father,  Carl 
W.  A.  Krook,  was  for  some  years  a  builder  and  contractor,  and  later 
a  merchant  in  Minnesota,  and  his  son  had  the  benefit  of  experience 
in  construction  work,  which  stood  him  in  good  stead  in  helping  to 
build  up  a  new  State.  After  having  completed  the  public  school 
course  he  matriculated  in  two  colleges,  one  a  German,  and  the  other 
a  Swedish  institution,  each  of  which  he  attended  two  years,  after 
which,  in  1892,  he  entered  an  attorney's  office.  There  he  spent  three 
years  perfecting  himself  in  the  rudiments  of  law  from  the  stand- 
point of  actual  experience,  then  went  to  England,  where  he  entered 
the  Inns  of  Court  Law  School  and  took  a  one-year  course  in  old 
English  law.  Returning  to  his  home,  he  took  the  law  course  in  the 
University  of  Minnesota,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1899  with 
an  LL.  B.  degree.  The  same  year  he  was  admitted  to  practice, 
opened  up  a  law  office  in  Minneapolis  immediately  thereafter,  and  to 
more  thoroughly  prepare  himself  for  his  chosen  work  that  year  also 
found  him  taking  a  post  graduate  course,  from  which  he  was  grad- 
uated in  1900  with  the  degree  of  LL.  M.  After  four  years'  practice 
in  Minnesota  he  came  to  Arizona,  where  he  soon  became  interested  in 
mines.  Seeing  the  great  possibilities  in  mining  law,  he  spent  several 
years  in  prospecting  and  mining  and  with  his  brother  purchased  a 
mine  in  Mohave  County,  on  which  they  spent  a  large  sum  trying  to 
place  it  among  the  paying  producers.  While  thus  employed,  the 
young  attorney  was  nominated  for  the  Legislature  and  elected  to  the 
24th  Session,  in  which  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Judiciary  Commit- 
tee. He  was  an  active  worker  in  behalf  of  reform  measures  and 
those  laws  which  tend  to  the  improvement  of  the  social  and  industrial 
life  of  the  State.  He  championed  the  bill  to  raise  the  standard  of  the 
legal  profession  by  more  exacting  examinations  for  admission  to  prac-

tice,  and  worked  hard  in  the  interest  of  the  Act  for  Correction  of 
General  Practice.  Judge  Krook  was  a  worker  and  not  a  talker,  and 
his  influence  during  this  session  accomplished  much  that  was  bene- 
ficial in  legislation  for  his  County,  especially  in  behalf  of  the  Good 
Roads  Bill  and  the  Bill  segregating  the  office  of  Assessor  from  that  of 
Sheriff  in  fourth  and  fifth  class  counties.  At  the  conclusion  of  the 
session  he  again  donned  the  miner's  jumper,  and  for  six  months 
worked  in  the  copper  mines  at  Bisbee,  thereby  gaining  a  general 
knowledge  of  the  works  of  large  mines.  On  returning  to  general 
practice,  he  was  a  candidate  for  the  nomination  for  County  Attorney 
in  Mohave,  but  was  defeated.  Two  years  later,  however,  he  was 
nominated  and  elected  to  his  present  position,  and  the  excellent  train- 
ing he  has  received  has  been  an  invaluable  aid  to  him  in  this  capac- 
ity. Judge  Krook  is  a  member  of  the  Elks  Lodge,  and  is  actively  in- 
terested in  all  movements  tending  toward  improved  conditions  of 
town,  county  or  state.

FRANK.  BAXTER,  Superior  Judge  of  Yuma  County,  even  before 
coming  to  Yuma,  was  one  of  the  best  known  and  most  popular  at- 
torneys in  Arizona.  Since  his  residence  in  Yuma  county  he  has 
held  nearly  every  position  within  the  gift  of  the  people  of  that 
county.  He  has  been  successively  City  Attorney,  Assistant  District 
Attorney,  and  at  the  last  election  was  elected  Superior  Judge  by 
one  of  the  largest  majorities  ever  given  an  elective  officer  in  Yuma 
countv. 


Frank  Baxter 


Judge  Baxter  is  a  Virginian,  having  been  born  near  Petersburg 
in  1853.  His  father  was  Thomas  H.  Baxter,  who  was  in  the 
United  States  customs  service  until  the  Civil  War,  holding  an  im- 
portant position  in  Philadelphia.  His  mother,  before  her  marriage, 
was  Miss  Anna  E.  Van  Horn,  of  the  Van  Horns  of  North  Carolina. 
So  it  will  be  easily  seen  that  Judge  Baxter  came  to  Arizona  an 
ardent  Democrat,  eminently  qualified  to  become  a  party  leader,  an 
honorable  attorney  and  a  judge  of  ability  and  integrity,  to  whom

the  whole  people  could  pin  their  faith  as  to  his  honesty,  fairness, 
justice  and  ability;  and  such  have  the  people  of  Yuma  found  him 
to  be.  As  city  recorder  of  Phoenix  he  made  an  excellent  repu- 
tation and  was  elected  to  the  position  of  probate  judge,  with  the 
office  of  superintendent  of  schools  ex-officio.  His  wide  experience  as 
a  jurist  and  attorney  made  him  the  logical  candidate  for  the  speaker- 
ship  of  the  Seventeenth  Territorial  Assembly  and  he  was  elected 
practically  without  opposition.  He  later  served  as  chief  clerk  of 
the  Nineteenth  legislative  assembly.  His  record  in  official  life  was 
such  that  when  he  left  Phoenix  to  go  to  Yuma,  Frank  Baxter  left 
a  large  circle  of  friends  behind. 

He  is  a  graduate  of  the  Philadelphia  public  schools  and  later  sup- 
plemented this  with  a  course  at  the  Chester  Military  Academy, 
Chester,  Pa.  He  studied  law  in  the  offices  of  E.  C.  and  V.  S.  Lovell 
of  Elgin,  111.,  the  former  a  probate  judge  of  that  county. 

As  Superior  Judge  of  Yuma  county  he  has  presided  with  dignity 
and  fairness  and  no  jurist  in  the  state  has  a  larger  clientele  of 
friends  and  admirers  than  he. 

In  1914,  no  doubt,  he  will  be  re-elected  by  an  even  larger  ma- 
jority tban  that  given  him  in  1911. 


FREDERICK  WELLINGTON  PERKINS,  judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of 
Coconino  County,  is  the  son  of  George  H.  and  Harriet  Wright  Per- 
kins, and  was  born  at  Milford,  N.  H.,  April  15,  1850.  The  family

served  five  years  as  trustee  of  the  Flagstaff  school  district  and  three 
years  as  member  of  the  Board  of  Education  of  the  Northern  Arizona

young  to  enlist,  but  his  father  and  only  brother  both  fought  on  the 
side  of  the  Union,  the  former  until  the  close  of  the  war,  and  the  latter 
until  he  met  his  death  in  service.  During  part  of  the  war,  Judge  Per- 
kins was  employed  in  the  U.  S.  Armory  at  Springfield,  the  youngest 
person  to  hold  a  position  at  that  place.  In  1874  Judge  Perkins  mar- 
ried Miss  Mary  A.  Thompson  at  Jefferson  City,  Mo.,  and  six  child-

JAMES  E.  O'CONNOR,  Superior  Judge  for  the  County  of  Final, 
was  born  in  Pescadero,  San  Mateo  County,  California,  February 
20,  1865.  His  parents,  James  and  Ellen  Heffron  O'Connor,  were 
pioneers  of  California,  who  reached  that  State  in  the  early  fifties. 
Judge  O'Connor's  early  education  was  acquired  by  study  while  work- 
ing as  tanner  and  at  the  Oak  Mound  Academy  of  Napa,  Califor- 
nia. He  taught  in  the  public  schools  of  Napa  from  1889 
to  1893,  inclusive,  studying  law  when  he  had  time.  The  young 
teacher  was  taken  into  the  law  office  of  County  Attorney  William

in  Illinois,  and  became  one  of  the  prominent  attorneys  of  that  state, 
and  his  mother,  Elizabeth  Peers  Lockwood,  was  a  native  of  Illinois, 
and  a  descendant  of  Jonathan  Edwards  and  Cotton  Mather.  Judge 
Lock  wood's  ancestors  were  among  the  earliest  settlers  of  New  Eng- 
land, having  been  in  the  country  since  1640,  and  the  last  of  his  foreign 
ancestors  havinc  come  here  in  the  year  1 730.  They  were  chiefly 
professional  and  business  men  and  farmers  and  were  prominent  in  the 
early  days  of  New  England.  Mr.  Lockwood  was  educated  in  the 
public  schools  of  California  and  Illinois,  and  graduated  from  the  High

law,  in  1902  was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  Supreme  Court,  and  for 
a  short  time  practiced  in  Nogales.  In  the  winter  of  the  same  year, 
however,  he  removed  to  Douglas,  where  he  has  established  a  fine 
practice  and  become  very  popular  both  professionally  and  politically,

Arizona,  and  in  his  present  position  has  in  Cochise  County  the  largest 
amount  of  business  on  any  calendar  in  the  State.  Judge  Lockwood  is 
a  Progressive  Democrat  and  was  a  close  competitor  of  Judge  Slitter's 
for  the  nomination  for  Judge  at  the  first  State  election,  but  has  pre- 
viously held  no  official  position  except  as  City  Attorney  in  Douglas,

Judge  Schute  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  the  State,  and  was 
graduated  from  the  Tempe  Normal,  standing  well  in  his  class.  After 
his  admission  to  the  bar,  he  was  soon  recognized  as  an  able  attorney, 
and  established  a  reputation  as  a  criminal  lawyer,  which  made  him  a 
strong  candidate  for  the  position  of  District  Attorney.  He  defeated 
one  of  the  strongest  attorneys  in  the  county,  and  made  such  an  excel- 
lent official,  that  he  easily  won  in  the  primaries  and  the  election.  As 
a  Judge  he  has  been  fair  and  impartial,  and  litigants  and  attorneys 
speak  highly  of  the  manner  in  which  he  has  conducted  his  court.

CHARLES  METCALFE.  Superintendent  of  the  Public  Schools  of 
Mohave  County,  was  horn  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  in  18^5.  His  father, 
Henry  Metcalfe,  served  in  the  Mexican  War,  was  afterward  captain 
of  a  steamboat  on  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  Rivers,  and  died  in  1855. 

His     mother,     whose     maiden 

name  was  Agnes  Purvis,  of 
Scotch  descent,  is  well  and  ac- 
tive, though  seventy-five  years 
of  age.  She  makes  her  home 
in  Ohio.  When  but  a  child 
Charles  went  to  Missouri, 
where  he  saw  many  of  the 
stirring  events  of  the  Civil 
War ;  at  twenty-one  he  went 
to  the  lead  mining  regions  of 
Southwest  Missouri,  was  one 
of  the  first  settlers  of  Webb 
City,  and  when  it  wras  incor- 
porated was  the  first  City 
Treasurer.  Pushing  further 
west,  he  went  to  Harper 
County,  Kansas,  and  was  pub- 
lishing a  newspaper  at  An- 
thony when  the  county  was 
organized.  In  1880  he  fol- 
lowed the  Santa  Fe  Railroad 
into  New  Mexico,  where  he 
rrm;invd  for  eleven  years,  en- 
gaged in  mining  and  news- 
paper work.  He  was  married  in  Las  Cruces  in  1885,  and 
has  three  children,  two  girls  and  a  boy,  now  grown.  His 
next  move  was  to  the  Pacific  coast,  where  he  spent  five  years  between 
Los  Angeles  and  Puget  Sound,  but  the  magnet  of  the  great  Southwest 
brought  him  to  Arizona  seventeen  years  ago,  and  he  located  in  King- 
man,  which  has  since  been  his  home.  He  platted  Metcalfe's  Addition 
to  the  city,  which  is  now  a  part  of  Kingman.  Under  Territorial 
government  Mr.  Metcalfe  was  elected  and  served  as  Probate  Judee 
of  Mohave  County,  and  at  the  first  State  election  was  chosen  to  his 
present  position.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Masonic  order,  and  Past  Ex- 
alted Ruler  of  Kingman  Lodge  of  Elks.  He  is  the  principal  owner  of 
the  Great  Eastern  group  of  mines.  While  Mr.  Metcalfe  can  hardly 
be  reckoned  among  Arizona's  pioneers,  he  is  endowed  with  the  true 
pioneer's  instincts,  broadened  and  developed  in  his  various  experiences 
in  the  several  States  of  which  he  has  been  a  pioneer,  and  with  every 
faith  in  the  future  of  the  State  which  he  has  chosen  for  his  permanent 
residence,  has  taken  as  a  homestead  a  splendid  tract  of  land  in  the 
beautiful  Wallapai  Valley,  three  miles  from  Kingman.

THOMAS  G.  NORRIS,  Attorney-at-Law,  Prescott,  is  a  native  of 
Carroll  County,  Arkansas,  where  he  was  born  at  the  outbreak  of  the 
Civil  War,  and  is  the  son  of  Jonathan  and  Jane  Cannon  Norn's,  who 
originally  came  from  Tennessee.  His  father  was  a  successful  planter, 
but  lost  everything  through  the  Civil  War.  Thomas  Norn's  wyas  the 
seventh  son  of  a  large  family,  received  his  early  education  in  his  native 
State,  and  owing  to  the  dire  results  of  the  War,  was  obliged  to  rely 
upon  his  own  resources  at  an  early  age.  He  determined,  however,  to 
acquire  an  education,  and  succeeded  bv  means  of  his  persistence.  He

entered  the  University  of  Iowa,  where  he  completed  the  course  in  law, 
and  was  graduated  with  the  class  of  1883.  He  began  practicing  his 
profession  in  Berryville,  Arkansas,  but  remained  there  only  six  months, 
and  then  decided  to  come  to  Arizona.  Six  months  were  spent  in  St. 
Johns,  and  he  then  removed  to  Flagstaff  and  for  a  short  time  was  in 
partnership  with  J.  F.  Wilson.  That  partnership  being  dissolved,  he 
became  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Norris  &  Ellinwood,  which  continued 
until  1893,  when  he  removed  to  Prescott  and  became  associated  in 
practice  with  J.  C.  Herndon,  constituting  a  firm  of  the  ablest  attorneys 
in  the  Territory.  Mr.  Norris  is  nowT  engaged  in  practice  with  E.  J. 
Mitchell,  in  the  Prescott  National  Bank  Building.  As  an  attorney 
he  holds  rank  among  the  ablest  in  the  State,  and  while  in  general  pro- 
fessional work  he  has  earned  a  reputation  that  is  nut  limited  to  Ari- 
zona, his  greatest  strength  and  most  extensive  practice  are  in  corpora- 
tion and  mining  law.  Having  surmounted  many  difficulties,  he  has 
the  unbounded  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  his  success  and  the  stand- 
ing he  has  achieved  in  the  legal  fraternity  of  the  State  have  been 
attained  by  hard  work,  his  own  determination  and  energy.  In 
political  affairs  he  has  also  been  prominent.  He  was  a  member  from 
Coconino  County  to  the  First  Constitutional  Convention,  and  the 
following  year  was  elected  Councilman  at  large  for  the  Territory,  and 
was  President  of  the  Council  in  1893.  He  is  a  member  of  the 
Masons,  Knights  Templar  and  Mystic  Shrine,  in  each  is  one  of  the 
active  workers.  In  1883  he  was  married  to  Miss  Nannie  E.  Scar- 
borough, of  Berryville,  Arkansas,  who  died  in  1894,  leaving  him  a 
family  of  four  children.  In  1899  he  was  again  married  to  Miss 
Laura  W.  Sharpe,  of  Toronto,  Canada.  Several  years  ago  he  became 
interested  in  the  subject  of  general  road  improvement,  and  it  was 
largely  through  his  efforts  that  the  State  Road  Association  was  organ- 
ized, W7hen  he  was  elected  its  president,  which  office  he  still  holds. 
He  is  also  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  National  High- 
way Association.  Mr.  Norris  thinks  that  one  of  the  best  investments 
for  State  or  Nation  is  a  system  of  permanent  highways,  and  is  a  per- 
sistent and  enthusiastic  advocate  of  this  cause,  in  which  his  interest  and 
energy  have  proven  a  strong  impetus  for  general  improvement.  Mr. 
Norris  is  never  too  busy  to  go  to  the  remote  corners  of  the  State 
to  attend  meetings  or  conventions,  in  the  interests  of  good  roads, 
and  was  one  of  a  party  who  made  a  trip  over  Arizona,  visiting  every 
county  in  the  State  to  secure  nece^ary  information  about  automo- 
bile trips  for  the  National  Highway  Association.  In  the  realiza- 
tion of  his  ambitions,  the  one  that  has  proven  to  him  the 
most  gratifying  investment  of  his  life  has  been  the  education  of  his 
children,  his  oldest  daughter  having  been  graduated  from  Smith  Col- 
lege, Northampton,  Massachusetts,  his  second  daughter  from  National 
Park  Seminary,  near  Washington,  D.  C.,  and  his  two  sons  being  now 
students  at  Yale.

Phoenix  June  27,  1886.  He  is  the  youngest  member  of  the  Legisla- 
ture. Mr.  Jacobs  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Phoenix, 
graduated  from  the  High  School,  and  afterward  from  Lamson  Busi- 
ness College,  after  which  he  was  for  a  time  with  the  Stoddard  Incor- 
porating Company.  He  was  Secretary  to  the  Arizona  Anti-Joint 
Statehood  League,  and  was  Assistant  to  the  Secretary  of  the  First 
Annual  Arizona  Territorial  Fair.  He  has  also  served  as  Deputy 
County  Treasurer  and  Tax  Collector,  and  Assistant  Clerk  to  the 
Board  of  Supervisors  under  three  Boards.  Mr.  Jacobs  is  a  practicing 
attorney  in  Phoenix,  having  been  recently  admitted  to  practice  in  the 
State  and  is  at  present  associated  professionally  with  Frank  H.  Lyman. 
Although  but  25  years  old  when  elected  to  the  Legislature,  Mr.  Jacobs 
has  proven  himself  one  of  the  most  intense  and  thorough  workers  in  the 
House,  and  in  the  regular  session  was  active  on  several  of  the  import- 
ant committees,  in  which  his  keen,  analvtical  mind  and  comprehensive

grasp  of  things  made  him  a  valuable  member.  In  the  special  session 
he  was  a  member  of  the  noted  "Ax"  committee,  which  thoroughly 
investigated  the  matter  of  public  expenditures.  He  was  also  member 
ol  the  following  committees:  Judiciary,  Enrolling  and  Engrossing, 
and  Code  Revision,  being  Chairman  of  the  latter.  Air.  Jacobs  is  a 
.!2nd  degree  Mason  and  member  of  the  Mystic  Shrine,  and  both  social- 
ly and  politically  is  one  of  the  best  known  young  men,  not  only  in  his 
home  city,  but  through  much  of  the  State. 


BEXTON  DICK,  Attorney-at-Law,  Phoenix,  while  a  comparative 
stranger  in  the  legal  circles  of  that  city,  is  well  known  in  other 
parts  of  the  State,  both  in  legal  and  general  business  circles.  Previous 
to  his  removal  to  Phoenix  he  was  District  Attorney  of  Pima  County 

almost  eight  years,  having 
served  from  1905  until 
the  coming  of  statehood, 
when  he  refused  to  again 
become  candidate  for  the 
office,  as  he  considered  the 
advantages  of  a  substan- 
tial practice  in  the  Capital 
City  decidedly  more  at- 
tractive. Mr.  Dick  was 
born  in  Brownville,  New 
York,  in  1873.  His  fath- 
er, Henry  Dick,  wras 
there  a  pioneer  in  railroad 
work,  having  spent  many- 
years  as  conductor  on  the 
Rome,  Watertown  &  Og- 
densburg,  and  later  on  the 
New  York  Central  rail- 
road. Before  coming  to 
Arizona  Benton  Dick  was 
employed  by  the  latter 
road  as  train  dispatcher, 
and  frequently  issued  or- 
ders by  which  his  father's 
train  was  conducted.  Mr. 
Dick  graduated  from  the 
High  School,  Camden, 
New  York,  but  by  continued  study  and  close  application,  the  advan- 
tages of  his  school  course  have  been  greatly  enhanced.  After  his 
graduation  he  was  employed  for  a  short  time  in  a  mercantile  house, 
but  preferring  to  engage  in  railroad  work,  he  learned  telegraphy, 
and  when  but  eighteen  years  of  age  was  appointed  train  dispatcher, 


IN      ARIZONA  °27 

in  which  capacity  he  served  eight  years.  In  1900  he  came  to  Arizona; 
and  was  train  dispatcher  for  the  Southern  Pacific  at  Tucson.  He 
first  secured  a  position  as  dispatcher  for  the  Santa  Fe,  but  having 
always  been  a  strong  union  sympathizer,  after  ten  days  went  out  with 
the  union  when  a  strike  was  ordered.  While  in  Tucson  he  resumed 
the  study  of  law,  which  he  had  begun  in  the  East,  completed  the 
course,  and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  Supreme  Court.  Mr. 
Dick  organized  the  first  Order  of  Railroad  Conductors  on  the 
Buffalo,  Rochester  &  Pittsburgh  railroad,  and  was  an  active  member 
during  the  telegraphers'  strike  in  1907,  having  made  a  number  of 
addresses  in  behalf  of  the  strikers.  Mr.  Dick  regards  as  one  of  the 
memorable  events  in  his  career  as  a  railroad  man  the  fact  that  he 
issued  orders  for  the  special  train  which  carried  the  late  President 
McKinley,  the  friend  of  the  railroad  man,  over  his  division  during  the 
President's  last  trip  through  Arizona,  and  he  highly  regards  a  copy 
of  the  schedule  prepared  for  the  train  on  which  the  martyred  Presi- 
dent rode  on  that  journey.  He  has  been  particularly  active  in 
politics  during  his  residence  in  Arizona,  is  a  thorough  Republican, 
and  he  it  was  who  made  the  speech  nominating  Ralph  Cameron  in 
the  last  Territorial  campaign,  when  he  was  elected  Delegate  to  Con- 
gress. He  also  toured  the  State  and  made  many  addresses  during 
that  campaign.  In  1893  Mr.  Dick  was  married  in  Oswego,  New 
York,  and  has  four  children,  Ruth,  Herbert,  Russell  and  Virginia, 
the  latter  a  thoroughbred  Arizonan.

The  family  removed  to  this  State  in  1893.  He  was  a  student  at 
the  University  of  Arizona  from  1899  to  1904,  and  then  attended 
Leland  Stanford  Junior  University  during  the  next  three  years,

admitted  to  practice  before  the  Supreme  Court  in  November  of  the 
same  year,  and  immediately  engaged  in  partnership  with  F.  H. 
Bernard.  In  March,  1909,  at  the  close  of  the  Territorial  Legisla- 
ture, he  was  appointed  Territorial  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion, by  Governor  Joseph  H.  Kibbey,  and  served  in  this  capacity 
until  Arizona  was  admitted  to  the  Union.  During  his  term  in  the 
First  State  Legislature  he  was  one  of  the  most  active  members  in

TOM  K.  RICHEY,  Attorney-at-Law  and  former  City  Attorney  of 
Tucson,  was  born  in  Girard,  Kansas,  June  27,  1874.  His  parents, 
George  H.  and  Fannie  Gossin  Richey,  were  natives  of  Ohio,  whose 
ancestors  were  early  settlers  in  that  State  and  Pennsylvania.  Mr. 
Richey  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Kansas,  and  later 
attended  St.  John's  Military  Academy,  Salina,  Kansas.  His  first 
regular  occupation  was  selling  newspapers  in  Leadville,  Colorado, 
and  he  has  since  been  employed  in  various  capacities  in  different  States, 
having  worked  with  city  engineering  force,  in  a  coal  mine,  in  a  print- 
ing office,  railway  office  in  Pittsburg,  Kansas,  C.  B.  &  Q.  office, 
Chicago,  and  in  a  grocery  store.  Weir  City,  Kansas.  From  18% 
to  1898  he  taught  in  the  public  schools  of  Arcadia,  Kansas,  and  the 
following  year  was  elected  Superintendent  of  the  Schools  of  Craw- 
ford County  for  a  two  years'  term,  his  leisure  time  during  all  of  his 
educational  work  being  devoted  to  the  study  of  law.  In  1901  he 
served  as  Reading  Clerk  in  the  Kansas  Legislature,  and  the  same  year 
was  admitted  to  the  practice  of  law  in  that  State.  He  went  to  LawT-

ton,  Oklahoma,  in  the  fall  of  1001,  at  the  opening  of  the  Kiowa, 
Comanche  and  Apache  country,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  Okla- 
homa, and  established  a  nice  practice  there,  remaining  :il  1904,  and 
came  to  Arizona  in  1905,  located  in  Tucson,  where  he  immediately  en- 
gaged in  the  practice  of  law,  and  has  since  been  a  resident  of  that  city. 
In  the  new  field  Mr.  Richer  soon  acquired  a  prominence  in  his  profes- 
sion and  found  his  experiences  in  various  phases  of  life  a  valuable  aid 
in  his  work.  In  1907  he  was  appointed  City  Attorney,  and  held  the  of- 
fice until  1911.  His  thorough  knowledge  of  the  law  and  of  existing 
conditions,  and  his  genuine  integrity,  have  caused  him  to  be  recog- 
nized as  not  only  one  of  the  leading,  but  one  of  the  most  reliable 
attorneys  in  Southern  Arizona.  Mr.  Richey  is  a  member  of  the 
Masons,  Elks  and  Knights  of  Pythias.  He  was  married  July  19, 
1911,  to  Miss  Marie  Grandpre.  They  have  one  son,  Thomas  Vic- 
tor Richey. 


W.  P.  GILMORE.  County  Attorney  of  Cochise,  was  born  in  Aug- 
laize  County,  Ohio,  October  13,  1866.    His  parents,  A.  G.  and  Emma 
Gilmore,  were  also  natives  of  that  State,  and  his  ancestors  have  been 
in  tins  country  since  1689,  when  the  first  one  located  in  Boston,  having 
fought  in  the  Pretender '«  Cause  in  England,  and  been  obliged  to  flee 
from  the  country  to  save  his  life.     He  was  from  the  English  branch  of 
the  family  and  all  of  his  direct  descendants  are  Protestants.     Among 
Cromwell's  Army  when  they  invaded  Ireland  there  was  another  of  his 
ancestors  named  Gilmore,  who  remained  there  and  among  whose  de- 
scendants  are   Bishop   Gilmore   of   the   Catholic   Church,   Cleveland; 
Patrick  S.  Gilmore,  the  noted  band  leader,  and  General  Gilmore,  who 
planted  the  big  gun  known  as  the  "Swamp  Angel"  near  Charleston  in 
the  Civil  War.     His  maternal  ancestors  were  among  the  very  early 
settlers  of   Maryland   and   Virginia,   and   his  mother  is  a  direct   de- 
scendant of  Bishop  Latimer,  who  was  burned  at  the  stake  in  Queen 
Mary's  time,  along  wTith  Ridley.     Mr.  Gilmore  attended  the  public 
schools,  then  Ohio  Northern  University,  at  Ada,  from  which  he  was 
graduated  LL.  B.  and  B.  S.  in   1893.     During  the  early  part  of  his 
college  course  he  was  appointed  instructor  in  geometry,  trigonometry 
and  algebra,  and  later  of  Latin  and  Commercial  LawT.     Immediately 
after  his  graduation  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  Ohio,  and  July  of 
the  same  year  he  came  to  Arizona  for  his  health.     He  afterwards  lo- 
cated in  California,  was  admitted  to  practice  there,  but  ten  years  ago 
returned   to  Arizona,  located   in   Tombstone,   his  present  home,   and 
was  admitted  to  practice  in  this  State.     Mr.  Gilmore  came  from  the 
portion  of  Ohio  where  a  Republican  is  a  rarity.     His  native  county 
enjoys  the  distinction  of  having  had  but  two  Republican  office  holders 
in  forty-five  years,  and  Jackson  Township  for  nearly  twenty  years  did 
not  have  a  Republican  vote.     So,  naturally  he  is  a  Democrat.     He  was 
elected  to  his  present  position  in  1911  by  a  majority  of  711,  the  sec- 
ond highest  received  in  Cochise  County,  and  has  made  an  excellent

the  Knights  of  Phythias  for  the  Domain  of  Arizona,  and  served  18 
months.  During  1912  the  order  made  the  greatest  gain  in  the  State 
that  has  been  made  in  its  history  with  the  exception  of  the  year  1902. 
He  is  also  a  prominent  and  active  member  of  Bisbee  Lodge  No.  671 
B.  P.  O.  E.  Mr.  Gilmore  was  married  in  Los  Angeles  to  Miss

and  Stuart,  aged  four,  have  been  born  to  them. 


FRED  L.  INGRAHAM,  County  Attorney  of  Yuma,  has  been  iden- 
tified with  the  political  life  of  Arizona  for  a  number  of  vears,  and  is

and  farmer.  His  mother,  Lucy  Lewis  Ingraham,  was  a  descendant 
of  one  of  the  well  known  pioneer  families  of  that  State.  His  for- 
bears on  both  sides  were  among  the  pioneers  of  Ohio  and  Michigan. 
Mr.  Ingraham  attended  public  schools  in  Ohio  and  Michigan,  and 
was  afterwards  graduated  from  the  Law  and  Literary  Departments 
of  the  University  of  Michigan,  at  Ann  Arbor.  After  completing  his 
course  he  was  for  some  time  instructor  in  English  at  Ypsilanti  Normal 
College,  Michigan,  where  he  established  an  excellent  reputation  as  an 
exponent  and  teacher  of  pure  English.  In  1907  he  was  united  in 
marriage  with  Miss  Inez  Jacobs,  a  daughter  of  one  of  the  pioneer 
families  of  Arizona,  her  family  having  been  among  the  early  settlers 
of  Yuma.  To  this  union  has  been  born  one  daughter,  Alice.  Mr. 
Ingraham  not  only  takes  a  prominent  part  in  the  political  life  of  the 
State,  but  is  also  a  substantial  business  man,  a  stockholder  and  director 
of  the  Yuma  National  Bank,  and  a  large  landholder.  During  his

FRANK  L.  CROFOOT.  Representative  from  Pima  County,  was  born 
in  Fond  du  Lac,  Wisconsin,  May  3,  1882.  He  came  to  Arizona  in 
1906,  and  located  in  Tucson,  his  present  home.  Mr.  Crofoot  is  a 
Republican,  and  almost  at  once  began  to  take  an  active  interest  in  the 

workings  of  his  party  in 
the  State,  and  especial- 
ly in  Pima  County.  He 
was  one  of  two  Repub- 
licans elected  to  the 
First  State  Legislature 
out  of  Pima  County's 
delegation  of  five,  and, 
although  one  of  the  mi- 
nority, he  has  taken  a 
prominent  part  in  the 
deliberations  of  the 
House,  his  work  in  the 
committee  room  having 
been  especally  com- 
mended by  his  col- 
leagues. Mr.  Crofoot 
is  Chairman  of  the 
Style,  Revision  and 
Compilation  Commit- 
tee, and  member  of  the 
.Appropriations,  Enroll- 
ing and  Engrossing  and 
Judiciary  Committees. 
Mr.  Crofoot  had  the 
distinction  of  being  the 
only  member  of  the  minority  in  either  house  to  have  a  chairmanship 
during  the  regular  session,  and  the  first  special  session.  He  was 
chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Militia  and  Public  Defense,  and  this 
committe  had  charge  of  the  militia  code  in  the  lower  house.  Of  this 
measure,  passed  during  the  regular  session,  General  Evans,  Chief  of 
the  Bureau  of  Militia  of  the  United  States  Army,  said:  "This  bill,  if 
passed  without  amendment,  will  give  Arizona  the  best  militia  code  of 
any  State  in  the  Union."  It  was  passed  without  amendment  largely 
through  the  efforts  of  the  Chairman  of  the  House  Committee.  Mr. 
Crofoot  has  held  important  accounting  positions  since  he  came  to 
Arizona  in  1906.  He  has  been  a  member  of  the  Republican  County 
Central  Committee  for  five  years  and  has  served  as  Secretary  of  the 
City  Central  Committee.  Mr.  Crofoot  has  always  been  a  hard 
worker  in  the  interests  of  his  party,  has  a  wide  acquaintance  not  only 
in  Pima  County,  but  over  the  entire  State,  and  his  record  in  the  Leg- 
islature is  one  of  which  he  is  justly  proud.

GEORGE  HENRY  CROSBY.  JR.,  County  Attorney  of  Graham,  was 
born  in  Hebron,  Utah,  February  29,  1872,  and  is  the  son  of  George 
H.  and  Sarah  Brown  Crosby.  The  family  moved  to  Arizona  in 
1886,  and  until  he  was  almost  19  years  old  George  H.  Crosby,  Jr., 

had      few    educational 
advantages.      He    then 
returned       to       Utah, 
attended       and        was 
graduated      from      the 
Normal  course   of    the 
Latter-day  Saints  Col- 
lege in  1892,  from  the 
same     course     in     the 
University  of  Utah   in 
1895,    and     from    the 
Scientific  course  of  the 
University     in      1903, 
having  in  the  meantime 
worked  as  teacher  and 
editor  of  the  "Southern 
Censor"    in     order     to 
make     it    possible    for 
him     to     continue     his 
studies.     He    was    the 
leader  in  founding  and 
settling    the     town   of 
Torrey,       in      Wayne 
County,     Utah.       He 
has  had  a  busy  career  and  among  his  friends  is  noted  for  his  capacity 
for  hard  work.       He  was  a  member  of  the  Legislature  of  LTtah  in 
1899  and  1903,  and  editor  of  the  "Richfield  Reaper"  in  1901-1902. 
In  connection  with  his  other  duties,  he  has  been  very  active  in  the 
Mormon   Church,  and   is    well  known    as    a    lecturer,  church  and 
political  speaker.        He  began  the  study  of  law  in  the  office  of  an 
attorney,  but  completed  it  at  the  University  of  Michigan.       He  then 
returned  to  Arizona  to  practice,  and  for  seven  years  was  the  only  one 
of  his  faith  practicing  law  in  the  Territory.     In  1905-1906  he  was 
District  Attorney  of  Apache  County,  and  in  the  latter  year  was  a 
member  of  the  Anti-Joint  Statehood   Commission,  and   succeeded   in 
the  face  of  great  odds  in  carrying  Apache  County  against  joint  state- 
hood, having  done  much  toward  this  end  by  a  paper  called   "Plain 
Talk,"  which  he  published  in  behalf  of  the  movement.       In  1907  he 
moved  to  Safford,  Graham  County,  where  he  soon  built  up  an  ex- 
cellent practice.     He  has  served  as  Justice  of  the  Peace  two  terms, 
County  Surveyor  one  term,  and  was  elected  to  the  office  of  County 
Attorney  in  1911.     His  father  was  a  member  of  the  Eighteenth  Terri-

torial  Legislature,  and  was  familiarly  known  as  'The  Gentleman 
from  Apache."  Mr.  Crosby  was  married  August  8,  1894,  to  Miss 
Martha  Miller,  and  they  have  one  boy  and  a  pair  of  twin  girls. 

JESSE  E.  CROSBY,  County  Attorney  of  Navajo,  comes  from  one  of 
the  pioneer  families  of  the  State,  and  inherits  his  ability  and  taste  for 
official  life  from  his  father,  G.  H.  Crosby,  who,  aside  from  taking  an 
active  part  in  the  official  life  of  Utah,  made  his  mark  as  a  public 

official  in  Arizona.  The 
family  have  lived  here  since 
1885,  when  Jesse  was  but 
five  years  of  age.  As  Sheriff 
of  Washington  Count  y, 
Utah,  the  elder  Crosby  made 
a  reputation  which  followed 
him  to  Arizona,  and  when  he 
became  a  candidate  for  the 
Legislature  his  election  fol- 
lowed as  a  matter  of  course. 
He  was  one  of  the  active 
members  of  the  la\v-making 
body  in  1895  and  1896,  the 
year  Xavajo  County  was 
formed.  He  was  a  staunch 
Republican,  a  man  loved  and 
respected  by  all  who  knew 
him,  and  his  word  was  as 
good  as  his  bond.  His  son 
Jesse  has  followed  in  his 
footsteps  and  his  future  is 
promising.  Like  his  father 
he  is  a  Republican,  and  en- 
joys the  confidence  of  all 
with  whom  he  comes  in  con- 
tact. Jesse  Crosby  was 
raised  on  a  ranch,  received 
a  common  school  education 
in  Arizona,  and  afterward 
took  a  course  in  the  Utah 
Agricultural  College.  He 
then  went  to  Ann  Arbor, 
Michigan,  where  he  com- 
pleted the  law  course.  He  immediately  came  to  Arizona,  and,  having 
been  admitted  to  the  bar,  practiced  for  a  short  time,  when  he  was 
elected  to  the  office  of  County  Attorney,  which  he  now  holds.  Though 
quite  a  young  man,  Mr.  Crosby  was  successful  as  a  practicing  attorney, 
and  since  assuming  office  has  acquitted  himself  most  creditably.  He

has  been  an  efficient  officer  and  his  constituents  are  well  pleased  with 
work. 


SAMUEL  FREDERICK  NOON,  County  Attorney  of  Santa  Cruz,  has 
been  for  a  number  of  years  connected  with  the  official  life  of  the 
State,  having  grown  from  childhood  in  what  is  now  Santa  Cruz 
County.  He  was  born  in  California  in  1877,  but  the  family 

removed  to  Arizona 
when  he  was  but  two 
years  of  age.  Air.  Noon 
is  the  son  of  Dr.  A.  H. 
and  Emma  Slaughter 
Noon.  He  is  practically 
self  -  educated  and  a 
close  student,  and  is  a 
shining  example  of 
what  can  be  accom- 
plished by  energy  and 
perseverance.  He  was 
the  first  Clerk  of  the 
District  Court  in  and 
for  the  County  of  Santa 
Cruz  under  the  Terri- 
torial organization,  and 
held  this  position  for  six 
years.  He  has  also  serv- 
ed as  Commissioner  of 
the  District  Court  of 
Santa  Cruz,  and  Deputy 
United  States  Consul  at 
Nogales,  Sonora.  During 
his  leisure  time  in  these 
positions  he  studied  law 
and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  1904.  In  the  fall  of  the  same  year, 
when  elected  District  Attorney,  he  resigned  the  position  of  Clerk  of 
the  Court  and  devoted  his  time  to  the  duties  of  the  latter  office  and  the 
building  up  of  a  practice,  wThich  has  assumed  gratifying  proportions. 
Besides  practice  in  the  courts  of  Arizona,  Mr.  Noon  conducts  an  ex- 
tensive practice  in  the  courts  of  Mexico,  with  the  procedure  of  which 
he  is  thoroughly  familiar,  and  before  the  United  States  Land  Office. 
He  is  proficient  in  Spanish,  and  in  the  courts  of  either  country  is  on 
familiar  ground.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Masons,  Elks  and  Odd  Fel- 
lows, and  well  known  and  popular  fraternally  and  socially.  In  1901 
he  was  married  to  Miss  Natalie  F.  Bonsall,  of  Bloomington,  Indiana, 
and  they  are  the  proud  parents  of  three  children,  Bonsall,  Edith  and 
Sarah.

EVERETT  VICTOR  HORTON,  first  County  Attorney  of  Greenlee,  has 
also  the  distinction  of  having  been  the  first  District  Attorney  of 
Greenlee  County,  upon  its  formation.  He  was  elected  to  his  present 
office  by  a  large  majority,  principally  because  of  the  fine  record  he 
made  while  serving  under  the  Territorial  laws.  He  was  born  in 
Maxwell,  Tennessee,  in  1880,  finished  the  common  school  course  in 
that  State,  and  then  attended  Burritt  College,  where  he  took  the 
degree  of  B.  S.  He  then  taught  school  for  several  years,  until  he 
came  to  Arizona,  in  1903.  Here  he  was  first  connected  with  the 
Arizona  Copper  Company  in  a  clerical  position  for  three  years,  after 
which  he  returned  to  Tennessee  and  took  a  course  in  law  in  Vander- 
bilt  University,  Nashville.  He  received  his  diploma  in  1907  and  at 
once  returned  to  Arizona,  was  admitted  to  practice,  and,  until  he 
was  elected  one  of  the  last  officials  of  the  Territory,  was  engaged  in 
building  up  a  substantial  practice.  Mr.  Horton  is  a  Democrat  of 
the  Progressive  type,  and  has  become  well  known  over  the  State  as  an 
able  attorney  and  a  strong  prosecutor.  Among  the  notable  cases  he 
has  handled  are  the  famous  cattle  thieves'  conviction,  and  the  securing

of  a  life  sentence  for  the  murderer  who  recently  killed  two  Deputy 
Sheriffs  of  the  County.  Mr.  Horton  married  Miss  Katherine  Jean 
Anderson,  a  native  of  Waverly,  Tennessee,  and  to  the  union  has  been

CHARLES  BIRGE  WILSON,  County  Attorney  of  Coconino,  although 
a  resident  of  the  State  but  a  couple  of  years,  during  which  he  has 
made  his  home  at  Flagstaff,  has  won  an  enviable  reputation  both  in 
private  practice  and  as  County  Attorney.  Mr.  Wilson  was  born  at 

Monmouth,  Illinois,  June  9,  1877, 
educated  in  the  public  schools  and 
later  graduated  from  Brown's  Busi- 
ness College,  Galesburg.  He  was 
then  in  the  employ  of  Adams'  Ex- 
press Company  for  six  years  in  the 
Superintendent's  office,  Secretary  to 
the  Mayor  of  Galesburg,  Substitute 
Court  Reporter,  and  Secretary 
to  F.  M.  Trissal,  a  promi- 
nent railroad  attorney.  Having 
completed  a  course  in  law,  he 
was  admitted  to  practice  before  the 
Supreme  Court  of  Illinois  in  April, 
1903,  and  for  six  years  following 
conducted  a  general  practice  in  Chi- 
cago. For  one  year  he  was  asso- 
ciated with  the  legal  department  of 
the  Pittsburgh  Coal  Company  at 
Chicago.  He  came  to  Arizona  Oc- 
tober 1,  1909,  locating  at  Glendale 
and  after  spending  a  winter  there 
was  so  well  pleased  with  the  State 
that  he  decided  to  make  it  his  future 
home.  He  chose  Flagstaff  as  his  most 

promising  field,  and  from  the  success  he  has  already  attained  there  it  is 
evident  his  choice  was  a  wise  one.  In  April,  1910,  he  was  admitted 
to  practice  before  the  Supreme  Court  of  Arizona.  Mr.  Wilson  is 
the  son  of  James  H.  and  Ellen  Birge  Wilson.  He  is  practically  a

convictions.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Masons,  Knights  of  Pythias 
and  M.  W.  of  A.  He  was  married  November  29,  1904,  to  Miss

JAMES  GILLIAM  BOGARD,  County  Attorney  of  Final,  was  born  in 
Tennessee,  July  29,  1849.  His  parents,  W.  J.  and  Abigail  Ezell 
Bogard,  were  prominent  in  the  early  development  of  the  South.  His 
father  was  a  Captain  in  the  Confederate  army,  and  two  of  his  moth- 
er's brothers  were 
veterans  of  the 
Southern  Confed- 
eracy. Mr.  Bogard 
was  a  member  of 
the  Home  Guards 
of  Tennessee  dur- 
ing the  Civil  War, 
being  too  young  at 
the  time  to  join  in 
the  active  cam- 
paign for  the  pres- 
ervation of  the 
South.  He  is  a 
member  of  the 
Masonic  order  and 
takes  an  active  in- 
terest in  its  affairs. 
Mr.  Bogard  is  a 
typically  self-made 
man,  and  self-edu- 
cated, never  hav- 
ing had  more  than 
one  year  in  school. 
He  taught  school 
three  years  in 
Texas,  and  studied 
law  in  the  mean- 
time. He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1886,  in  Texas,  at  Mangum, 
on  ground  which  was  later  awarded  to  Oklahoma.  After  the  Ter- 
ritory was  taken  over  by  the  new  State  he  was  made  a  Probate  Judge. 
He  afterwards  returned  to  Texas  from  Oklahoma,  and  there  he  was 
elected  Attorney  of  Star  County,  and  at  the  expiration  of  his  first 
term  was  re-elected  by  a  large  majority.  He  wras  forced  to  resign 
that  position  owing  to  his  wife's  health,  which  was  the  reason  for 
their  coming  to  Arizona.  During  his  residence  here  Mr.  Bogard 
has  established  a  large  practice,  and  since  assuming  his  duties  as 
County  Attorney  has  shown  such  ability  as  a  prosecutor  that  the 
voters  of  Final  County  are  well  satisfied  with  the  results  obtained. 
He  was  married  October  2,  1873,  to  Miss  Molly  J.  Winkler,  who 
has  since  died.  To  the  union  were  born  two  children,  Clifton  and 
Lora  Inez,  the  latter  having  become  Mrs.  Williamson.

ALBERT  S.  HAWKINS,  attorney  at  law,  a  member  of  the  firm  of 
Hawkins  &  Hawkins,  of  Phoenix,  is  best  known  locally  through  the 
excellent  record  as  attorney,  District  Attorney,  Member  of  the  House 
and  Senate,  which  preceded  him  from  Texas,  his  former  home.  Mr. 

Hawkins  was  born  in  Fannin 
County,  that  state,  in  1868.  He 
is  the  son  of  Reverend  S.  J. 
Hawkins,  deceased,  of  North 
Texas,  and  Mrs.  E.  M.  Hawk- 
ins, now  of  Dallas,  Texas,  and 
is  a  nephew  of  ex-Governor 
Alvin  Hawkins,  of  Tennessee. 
His  early  education  was  received 
in  the  public  schools,  and  he  aft- 
erwards attended  Southwestern 
University,  Georgetown,  Texas. 
Having  been  admitted  to  the 
practice  of  law  at  Gatesville,  he 
followed  this  profession  for 
about  23  years  at  Mid- 
land and  Abilene,  and  through- 
out West  Texas  is  well  known 
as  an  attorney.  In  1893  Mr. 
Hawkins  was  elected  to  the 
House  of  Representatives  to  rep- 
resent Midland  and  29  other 
counties  and  during  the  term 
was  author  of  the  law  creating 

the  Live  Stock  Sanitary  Commission  of  Texas,  which  has  been  produc- 
tive of  very  good  results.  He  was  later  District  Attorney  of  the  32nd 
Judicial  District.  In  1901  he  was  again  elected  member  of  the  House 
of  Representatives,  and  in  the  same  year  became  known  as  the  author 
of  the  School  Land  Law,  which  opened  up  the  western  part  of  the 
state  to  settlers,  thereby  furnishing  homes  to  thousands  of  families  and 
adding  millions  of  dollars  to  the  tax  rolls  of  the  state.  Mr.  Hawkins' 
political  record  is  a  most  unique  one  in  that  he  has  never  taken  ad- 
vantage of  a  political  position  to  secure  a  further  grip  on  public  pat- 
ronage and  has  always  refused  to  allow  his  name  to  be  used  as  candi- 
date to  succeed  himself.  In  1904  he  was  elected  to  the  State  Senate 
from  the  Abilene  District,  and  was  the  author  of  the  law  pro- 
viding for  state  and  county  depositories,  which  keeps  the  state  funds 
in  circulation  and  each  year  yields  a  revenue  more  than  sufficient  to 
pay  the  expenses  of  the  Treasury  Department.  He  was  thereafter 
spoken  of  as  The  Financier  of  the  Senate.  Although  Mr.  Hawkins 
became  an  Arizonan  just  about  a  year  ago,  when  he  took  up  his  resi- 
dence in  Phoenix,  he  has  already  become  thoroughly  imbued  with  the 


540 


WHO     S      WHO 


spirit  of  the  new  state.  A  true  Southern  Democrat,  his  interests 
affiliated  with  that  party  here  it  would  seem  that  his  years  of  experi- 
ence in  legal  and  legislative  work  in  the  State  of  Texas  would  prove  a 
boon  to  Arizona,  for  he  has  already,  by  means  of  valuable  sugges- 
tions, been  of  material  aid  to  her  worthy  legislators.  In  1904,  the 
year  in  which  he  was  elected  Senator,  Mr.  Hawkins  was  married  to 
Miss  Sallie  W.  Bell,  of  Marshall,  Texas. 


Lyndsay  D.  Hawkins 

LYNDSAY  D.  HAWKINS,  Attorney-at-Law  and  junior  member  of 
the  firm  of  Hawkins  &  Hawkins,  Phoenix,  is  the  son  of  Ella  Dickason 
and  William  E.  Hawkins,  Associate  Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 
Texas.  Mr.  Hawkins  was  born  in  Dallas,  Texas,  October  24,  1887, 
attended  the  public  schools  and  Southwestern  University,  Georgetown, 
Texas,  and  in  June,  1910,  was  graduated  from  the  latter  with  the 
degree  B.  S.  Having  completed  the  law  course,  he  was  admitted  to 
practice  in  Texas  in  1911,  practiced  there  but  a  short  time,  and  came 
to  Arizona  in  March,  1912.  He  located  in  Phoenix  and  became 
associated  with  his  uncle,  Albert  S.  Hawkins,  one  of  the  well  known 
attorneys  of  that  city.  Mr.  Hawkins  is  a  member  of  the  Council 
of  the  Masonic  Order,  and  President  of  the  Woodrow  Wilson  Ari- 
zona College  Men's  League.  He  is  also  a  consistent  member  of  the 
M.  E.  Church,  South.

HARRY  C.  WHEELER,  Sheriff  of  Cochise  County,  is  one  of  the 
most  capable  men  who  has  ever  filled  the  office  of  Sheriff  in  the 
State,  and  brought  to  the  office  a  fund  of  most  valuable  experience 
in  this  line  of  work,  which  he  acquired  during  his  term  of  service 
with  the  Arizona  Rangers.  This,  in  addition  to  his  complete  knowl- 
edge of  modern  business  methods  which  he  has  introduced  into  the 
management  of  the  office,  has  made  his  official  career,  though  short, 
a  memorable  one  in  Cochise  County.  By  the  introduction  of  an 
automobile  the  pursuit  of  prisoners  in  even  the  remote  parts  of  the 
county  has  been  facilitated,  and  the  expense  incident  to  the  same 
greatly  reduced,  so  that  the  great  expanse  of  the  county  is  covered 
with  a  degree  of  satisfaction  never  before  experienced  at  the  mini- 
mum of  expense.  Sheriff  Wheeler  was  born  in  Florida  in  1875. 
His  father,  Colonel  William  B.  Wheeler,  saw  service  in  the  Philip- 
pine Islands,  having  participated  in  a  number  of  battles,  prominent 
among  which  was  the  battle  of  Manila.  His  mother  was  Miss 
Cornwall,  daughter  of  Judge  Harry  Cornwall  of  Virginia,  law  part- 
ner of  Dan  Voorhees,  a  firm  which  became  famous  in  Illinois.  Sheriff 
Wheeler,  like  his  father,  has  a  military  record,  having  served  in  the 
Spanish  War  as  a  member  of  the  1st  U.  S.  Regulars  from  Oklahoma. 
On  coming  to  Arizona,  in  1900,  he  located  in  Tombstone,  in  a  short 
time  became  a  member  of  the  Rangers  as  a  private  and  before  the 
organization  was  disbanded  had  been  promoted  to  the  rank  of  Cap- 
tain. Mr.  Wheeler  married  Miss  Olive  Stafford,  of  California, 
and  has  one  son,  Allvn.  They  make  their  home  in  Tombstone. 


JOHX  D.  PATTY,  Sheriff  of  Greenlee  County,  was  born  in  Colum- 
bia, S.  C.,  in  1868.  His  parents  were  both  natives  of  South  Carolina, 
his  father,  Mark  Patty,  having  been  owner  of  a  large  flour  mill  for 
many  years,  and  his  mother  was  Hannah  Cable  Patty.  Mr.  Patty  was 
educated  in  his  native  State  and  lived  there  until  1889,  when  he 
came  to  Arizona.  Here  he  at  once  became  associated  with  Wade 
Hampton  in  the  cattle  business  and  is  still  in  partnership  with  him, 
being  a  member  of  the  well-known  Patty-Hampton  Cattle  Company. 
Before  the  organization  of  Greenlee  County,  while  a  resident  of  Gra- 
ham County,  Mr.  Patty  was  appointed  deputy  to  Sheriff  Ander- 
son, and  was  in  charge  of  the  eastern  end  of  the  county,  and  when  di- 
vision was  made,  he  was  elected  Constable  and  made  Deputy  Sheriff, 
in  which  capacity  he  served  in  all  five  years.  His  record  as  peace  of- 
ficer was  so  high  and  his  experience  so  broad  that  he  had  no  difficulty 
whatever  in  securing  the  election  to  his  present  position,  having  been 
much  in  the  lead  of  his  ticket,  and  elected  by  a  large  majority  over  the 
incumbent  at  that  time.  Not  only  in  a  business  and  political  way  is 
Mr.  Patty  well  known  and  popular,  but  in  a  fraternal  way  also,  as

CHARLES  C.  KEELER,  Sheriff  of  Yavapai  County,  was  born  in 
Des  Moines,  lov  a,  /' pril  13,  1859.  His  father,  Eli  Keeler,  was  a 
Captain  in  the  Union  Army  during  the  Civil  War,  having  enlisted 
from  Des  Moines.  Mr.  Keeler  has  been  in  every  state  and  territory 
west  of  the  Mississippi  River,  as  well  as  in  Mexico,  and  first  came 
to  Arizona  in  1888.  He  first  lived  in  Phoenix,  but  removed  to 
Prescott,  where  he  has  lived  for  the  past  twenty-three  years.  During 
most  of  this  time  he  has  been  engaged  in  trading  and  mining,  but  has 
also  been  employed  as  a  government  packer.  He  served  three  years 
as  Deputy  under  Sheriff  James  Smith  of  Yavapai,  won  many  friend? 
and  much  commendation  while  in  this  position,  and  it  was  largely 
on  his  record  as  Deputy  Sheriff  that  he  was  elected  to  his  present 
office  in  the  fall  of  1911.

W.   F.   Haynes 


and  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Tennessee  and  of  Texas,  where 
he  removed  with  his  mother.  Left  an  orphan  at  the  age  of  two  years 
by  the  death  of  his  father,  he  early  took  upon  himself  responsibilities, 
and  from  the  age  of  fourteen,  when  he  moved  to  Texas,  was  variously 
employed  as  cowboy,  rancher  and  in  other  capacities,  until  he  reached 
his  majority.  At  that  time  he  began  his  career  as  a  railroad  man, 
which  line  he  followed  until  the  time  he  was  appointed  to  the  office 
of  Deputy  Sheriff  in  1908.  He  was  known  throughout  the  South- 
west as  one  of  the  most  efficient  and  courteous  conductors  in  the

service  and  it  was  partially  due  to  his  popularity  as  a  railroad  man 
that  he  received  so  large  a  majority  at  the  primaries  and  the  election. 
He  still  retains  his  membership  in  the  Order  of  Railroad  Conductors, 
and  the  Brotherhood  of  Railway  Trainmen.  He  is  a  member  of  the

JAMES  E.  McGEE,  Sheriff  of  Final  County,  was  born  on  the  2nd 
day  of  January,  1870,  in  Crawford  County,  Arkansas.  When  he  was 
five  years  old  his  father,  becoming  interested  in  the  gold  movement 
in  California,  left  Arkansas  for  California,  crossing  the  plains  and 

desert   in   the  proverbial 
"Prairie  Schooner"  pro- 

_ .   _,,    pelled  by  a  yoke  of  oxen. 

They  were  over  a  year 
making  the  trip  to  the 
Golden  State,  upon 
reaching  which  the  fath- 
er found  much  more 
gold  by  tilling  the  soil 
than  by  mining,  and 
settled  in  T  u  1  a  r  e

Sheriff  McGee  received 
his  education,  as  the 
children  of  the  pioneers 
were  educated ;  here  is 
where  he  received  his 
early  training  in  trailing 
man  and  beast.  Leav- 
ing California  for  Ari- 
zona, at  the  age  of 
twenty-three,  he  had 
his  first  experience  in 
the  official  business, 
catching  a  train  hold-up

Florence,  Arizona,  be- 
ing the  seat  of  the

Deputy  Sheriff  of  Final  County,  which  position  he  accepted  and  filled 
until  1904,  when  he  joined  the  Arizona  Rangers,  and  was  appointed 
sergeant  under  Captain  Rynning.  In  1906  he  resigned  his  ranger

still  holds.  He  is  recognized  as  a  courageous  officer,  a  man  of  the 
West,  one  of  the  best  shots  in  Arizona,  a  man  who  detests  crime,  and 
whom  criminals  fear,  a  man  who  has  done  his  part  to  clear  Southern 
Arizona  of  that  element  which  dominated  it  for  years.  Sherifl 
McGee  is  the  son  of  Benjamin  F.  and  Margaret  Button  McGee,

THOMAS  E.  PULLIAM,  Sheriff  of  Coconino  County,  was  born  at 
Fort  Smith,  Arkansas,  in  1861,  where  he  received  his  early  training, 
education  and  business  experience.     It  was  at  an  early  age  he  departed 
from  the  home  circle,  and  began  the  battle  of  life  unaided.     His  gen- 
ial  good   humor  and   ability   to 
make  the  best  of  every  situation 
in   life  has  saved  him   the   hu- 
mility of  defeat  in  many  a  hard 
fought    battle.       Mr.    Pulliam 
came  to  Flagstaff  from  Los  An- 
geles in  the  spring  of  1889,  and 
it  was  but  a  short  time  before 
he  found  himself  surrounded  by 
a    host    of    newly    made,    but 
staurch  friends,  who  have  ever 
stood  him  in  good  stead  politi- 
cally,  as  wrell   as  socially.      In 
1896  he  was  elected  by  a  large 
majority    to   the    office    of    Re- 
corder of  the  County,   and   by 
reason  of  good  service,  courte- 
ous    treatment,    and    unfailing 
good  nature  to  those  with  wrhom 
he  came  in  contact,  he  was  re- 
elected   in    1898.     At  the  close

SYLVESTER  PERALTA,  Sheriff  of  Apache  County  is  one  of  the  besi 
known  peace  officers  in  Arizona,  and  one  of  the  oldest  in  the  service. 
He  is  now  serving  his  fourth  term.  He  was  first  elected  in  1902  b\ 
a  large  majority,  conducted  the  office  in  a  most  creditable  mannei, 

and  at  the  end  of  the 
two  years  returned  to 
private  life.  When 
two  years  had  elapsed, 
he  was  urged  to  accept 
another  term  and  after 
he  had  served  his  sec- 
ond term,  was  elected 
by  the  largest  majority 
ever  received  by  any 
candidate  for  the  of- 
fice. As  a  peace  of f i 
cer  he  is  fair,  but  fear- 
less, and  has  taken 
man}-  a  bad  man  since 
first  elected.  He  uses 
care  in  the  selection  of 
his  deputies  and  his 
under  sheriff,  and 
they,  too,  have  made 
excellent  records.  He 
has,  in  fact,  proven  a 
very  efficient  officer  in 
the  capacity  of  sheriff 
and  the  people  of 

Apache     County    have 

shown  the  most  marked 

appreciation  of  the  exceptional  service  rendered  the  county  by  him. 
Sheriff  Peralta  was  born  in  New  Mexico  and  came  to  Arizona  when 
but  a  child  with  his  parents,  Patricio  and  Juanita  Candelaria  Peralta. 
His  father  was  a  prominent  cattleman  in  New  Mexico,  but  shortly 
after  removing  to  Arizona  disposed  of  his  cattle  business  and  devoted 
his  efforts  to  the  rearing  of  sheep,  and  in  this  line  Sheriff  Peralta  is 
now  actively  interested.  Having  practically  grown  up  in  the  environ- 
ment of  the  sheep  industry,  he  is  rightfully  reckoned  a  well  informed 
man  on  the  subject,  and  having  been  a  resident  of  the  state  since  he 
was  three  years  of  age,  he  is  truly  a  typical  Arizonan.  Not  only  in 
Apache  County,  but  throughout  the  state,  Sheriff  Peralta  is  well 
known  and  well  liked.  He  married  Miss  Clara  Chaves,  member  of  a 
well  known  and  prominent  Arizona  family,  and  they  have  an  inter- 
esting family  composed  of  four  children,  Beatrice,  Christina,  Sophia 
and  Adela.

WHO     S       WHO 


FRANK  JOSEPH  TAYLOR,  Deputy  Sheriff  of  Santa  Cruz  County, 
has,  during  his  short  term  of  office,  established  a  reputation  through- 
out the  state  for  ability  and  effi- 
ciency. He  has  assisted  Sheriff 
McKnight  in  the  capture  of  the 
International  Shoplifters,  not  only 
aiding  in  the  securing  of  evidence, 
but  also  in  the  making  of  arrests 
and  recovery  of  the  property.  He 
is  the  son  of  J.  R.  and  Eliza  M. 
Taylor,  and  was  born  in  Los  An- 
geles in  1885.  His  father  was  a 
well  known  mining  man.  Frank 
Taylor  received  his  education  in 
the  public  schools,  which  course 
was  supplemented  by  a  business 
college  education,  and  for  several 
years  he  was  employed  as  stenog- 
rapher and  railroad  clerk,  during 
which  time  he  acquired  knowledge 
which  has  proven  valuable  to  him 
since  in  public  office.  He  obtained 
the  nomination  in  Santa  Cruz  for 
County  Recorder,  and  was  defeat- 
ed at  the  polls  by  but  a  few  votes. 
After  Sheriff  McKnight  assumed 
his  office  he  appointed  Mr.  Tay- 
lor Deputy  Sheriff,  a  selection 
which  has  proven  most  satisfactory 
to  the  voters  of  the  County.  Mr. 
Taylor  was  married  December  26, 
1912,  to  Miss  Ethel  Armita^e, 
daughter  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  H. 

Armitage,  of  Benson,  Arizona.       Mr.  and  Mrs.  Taylor  have  estab- 
lished their  home  in  Nogales. 


FRANK  P.  FAIRCHILD,  Deputy  Sheriff  under  Thomas  E.  Pulliam, 
was  born  in  El  Paso,  Texas,  in  1884,  and  came  to  Coconino  County 
at  the  age  of  two  years.  His  father,  Fletcher  Fairchild,  was  Sheriff 
of  Coconino,  having  been  elected  to  the  position  because  of  the  record 
he- had  made  as  Deputy.  He  was  one  of  the  best  officers  who  ever 
filled  the  position,  and  captured  a  gang  of  rustlers  single  handed,  and 
lead  in  the  capture  of  several  other  gangs  while  in  office.  He  made 
a  record  as  an  officer  in  Texas  and  New  Mexico.  Frank  P.  Fairchild 
was  county  Ranger  for  several  years  and  as  Deputy  Sheriff  has  shown

Frank  P.  Fairchild 


that  "blood  will  tell."  His  future  as  an  officer  looks  bright,  and 
friends  declare  he  will  yet  become  as  well  known  as  his  father.  He 
was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Arizona  and  afterwards  attended 
the  Normal.  He  served  a  term  in  the  State  Militia,  receiving  an 
honorable  discharge.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Elks,  Eagles  and  Moose 
Lodges  and  takes  a  prominent  part  in  the  affairs  of  the  different  or- 
ganizations. He  is  well  known  over  the  County,  being  among  the 
most  popular  young  men  of  Northern  Arizona.

SANTA  CRUZ  COUNTY  was  never  more  prosperous 
better  financial  condition  than  at  the  present  time, 
the  capable  administration  of  its  present  officials 
entirely  due.  To  the  Supervisors  is  especial  credit  due. 
member  of  the  Board  is  a  resident  of  many  years'  standing,  and  they 
represent  years  of  experience  in  the  different  industries  to  which 
Santa  Cruz  owes  her  prosperity — ranching,  mining  and  cattle  raising. 
In  Santa  Cruz,  as  is  the  case  almost  all  over  Arizona,  the  need  of  good 
roads  is  thoroughly  realized,  and  on  this  subject  the  supervisors  are 
most  enthusiastic.  The  Chairman,  Alexander  H.  Henderson,  at  the 
recent  convention  of  supervisors  held  at  Phoenix,  Introduced  a  plan 
to  issue  $5,000,000  worth  of  bonds  for  the  building  of  better  high-

ways,  which  plan  was  endorsed.  While  much  has  been  done  during 
their  term  of  office,  their  expenditures  have  shown  both  wisdom  and 
foresight,  and  the  county  money  has  been  spent  in  a  way  that  has 
shown,  or  will  show,  the  most  gratifying  results.  The  members  of 
the  Board,  of  whom  sketches  follow,  are  all  substantial  men  of  affairs 
in  Santa  Cruz. 


ALEXANDER  S.  HEXDERSOX,  Chairman,  is  one  of  the  best  known 
business  men  in  the  Patagonia  region,  having  been  interested  for 
many  years  in  mining,  cattle  growing  and  merchandise,  and  his  gen- 
eral store  is  one  of  the  principal  places  of  business  in  Patagonia.  In 
mining  matters  he  is  associated  with  Mr.  John  F.  Campbell,  their 
holdings  comprising  one  large  group  in  the  vicinity  of  Duquesne,  and 
another  in  the  World's  Fair  region,  in  all  of  which  they  have  recently 
interested  investors  in  the  east  and  have  assurance  that  capital  for  the 
thorough  development  of  these  claims  will  be  forthcoming.  Mr. 
Henderson  also  has  valuable  claims  in  the  Santa  Rita  mountains. 
Mr.  Henderson  is  a  native  of  Canada.  He  came  to  this  country 
when  quite  a  young  man,  and  has  made  it  his  home  ever  since,  and  all 
his  interests  are  in  Santa  Cruz  Countv. 


WALTER  C.  FORTUXE,  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of 
Santa  Cruz  County,  is  a  son  of  James  and  Elizabeth  Brown  Fortune, 
of  Maryland,  and  was  born  in  that  State  in  1874,  and  there  educated 
in  the  public  schools.  He  lost  both  parents,  however,  when  he  was 
very  young,  his  mother's  death  having  occurred  the  year  succeeding 
that  of  his  father.  He  came  to  Arizona  about  1890  and  started  in 
freighting  business,  in  which  he  continued  about  ten  years.  He  then 
disposed  of  that  business  at  a  profit  and  engaged  in  the  cattle  business 
on  an  open  range.  This  he  has  conducted  with  great  success,  and  he 
is  now  one  of  the  most  prominent  cattle  men  of  his  vicinity,  his  inter- 
ests being  about  one  mile  from  Patagonia.  Mr.  Fortune  is  also 
interested  in  valuable  mining  properties  about  Patagonia.  He  is  a 
Southern  Democrat,  and  at  both  the  primaries  and  the  general  election 
led  the  ticket  in  Santa  Cruz  County,  an  evident  appreciation  of  his 
worth  and  work,  for,  like  the  other  members  of  the  Board,  Mr. 
Fortune  is  one  of  the  solid  citizens  of  Santa  Cruz,  and  well  veresd  in 
his  knowledge  of  the  county.  He  is  an  active  member  of  the  Moose 
Lodge.  He  was  married  in  1907  to  Miss  Anna  Hellman,  a  native  of 
Germany.  They  have  two  daughters,  Elizabeth  and  Margaret. 


ARTHUR  LESLIE  PECK,  Supervisor,  is  one  of  the  oldest  residents  of 
Santa  Cruz  County,  and  a  native  of  Chatauqua  County,  New  York. 
Mr.  Peck  left  his  home  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  spent  some  time  in  the 


IN      ARIZONA 


551 


mining  sections  of  Nevada  and  California,  and  landed  in  Arizona  in 
1880.  He  has  endured  many  of  the  hardships  and  privations  of  the 
early  pioneer  life,  and  both  his  wife  and  child  were  killed  by  Indians 
in  the  early  eighties,  in  the  mountains  about  six  miles  from  the  present 
site  of  Nogales.  Mr.  Peck  is  a  practical  miner,  and  has  been  fore- 
man in  several  of  the  large  mines.  He  now  has  interests  in  several 
of  the  valuable  properties  in  the  Patagonia  region,  notably  the  Cres- 
cent Copper  Company  and  the  Tres  de  Mayo  property.  He  lived 
in  this  district  for  years  before  Santa  Cruz  County  was  formed,  and 


Arthur  Leslie  Peck 


Alexander  S.  Henderson 


Walter  C.  Fortune 


was  appointed  by  Governor  Murphy  a  member  of  the  first  Board 
of  Supervisors  when  the  county  was  organized  from  Pima.  He  has 
also  served  several  terms  on  the  Nogales  Council.  He  is  recognized 
as  one  of  the  Democratic  stand-bys,  and  since  the  organization  of 
Santa  Cruz  has  been  active  in  his  efforts  to  further  its  advancement. 
In  addition  to  his  mining  and  political  responsibilities,  Mr.  Peck  is 
owner  and  proprietor  of  the  City  Stables,  Nogales.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  Masonic  Order;  of  the  Knights  of  Pythias,  of  which  he  has 
served  as  prelate ;  and  of  the  Odd  Fellows,  by  whom  he  has  twice 
been  sent  as  delegate  to  the  Grand  Lodge.  In  1885  he  wras  again 
married  to  ^Vliss  Carmen  Mountains  and  to  their  union  have  been 
born  four  children,  A.  L.,  Jr.,  May,  Lola  and  Natalie.

The  State  Fair  Commission 

THE  STATE  FAIR  COMMISSION,  composed  of  Hugh  E.  Campbell. 
J.  R.  Henderson  and  John  J.  Keegan,  and  the  Secretary,  C.  B.  Wood, 
State  Senator  from  Maricopa  County,  gave  to  Arizona  in  its  first 
State  Fair,  one  which  may  be  equalled,  but  will  scarcely  be  surpassed, 
and  which  was  a  credit  to  themselves  and  to  all  who  participated. 
Well  versed  in  the  industries  and  products  of  the  State,  and  familiar 
with  the  opportunities  offered,  the  Commissioners  used  to  the  best 
advantage  their  knowledge  acquired  in  former  experiences  and  ar- 
ranged a  program  which  attracted  enormous  cro\vds  from  four  States 
and  brought  together  residents  of  all  other  States  then  sojourning  in 
Arizona.  World's  records  were  broken,  and  the  automobile  run 
across  country  was  watched  with  intense  interest  throughout  the 
entire  newspaper  world.  In  every  department  the  displays  were 
varied  and  excellent,  but  in  none  was  a  more  remarkable  showing 
made  than  in  that  devoted  to  agricultural  products,  where  fruits  of 
all  kinds,  most  perfect  in  size,  form  and  coloring  elicited  the  most 
hearty  enthusiasm  and  demonstrated  the  advantages  of  irrigated 
farming.  Early  in  1913  the  Commissioners  began  extensive  prepara- 
tions for  the  Second  Annual  Arizona  Fair  and  every  possible  effort  is 
being  put  forth  to  make  it  a  greater  success  than  the  preceding  one. 


HUGH  E.  CAMPBELL,  President  of  the  State  Fair  Commission,  i^ 
one  of  the  best  known  men  in  Arizona,  having  been  associated  with 
the  big  interests  of  the  State  almost  thirty  years.  Although  his 
experience  has  been  varied,  he  classes  himself  as  a  stockman,  and 
hereabouts  is  considered  an  authority  on  live  stock.  He  was  born 
in  Nova  Scotia  June  10,  1862,  of  Scotch  parentage.  He  left  his 
home  when  but  a  boy,  and  for  several  years  followed  lumbering  in 
Wisconsin.  At  the  age  of  twenty  he  came  to  Arizona,  at  once 
entered  into  the  industrial  and  political  life  of  the  Territory,  and 
soon  became  a  factor  worthy  of  consideration  in  both.  In  1885  he 
went  into  the  live  stock  business  on  his  own  account,  and  today  is  one 
of  the  largest  sheep  owners  in  the  State.  He  attended  strictly  to 
business,  and,  aiming  to  make  quality  one  of  the  telling  features  of 
his  business,  introduced  thoroughbreds  into  his  flocks,  and  now  the 
Campbell  animals  have  a  country-wide  reputation.  His  wide  knowl- 
edge of  the  business  made  him  a  natural  leader  in  the  Wool  Growers' 
Association,  and  in  1910  he  was  elected  its  President.  After  a  most 
successful  year  he  was  again  chosen  to  lead  the  organization,  in  July 
of  1911.  His  knowledge  of  Arizona,  her  products,  resources  and 
possibilities  being  recognized  over  the  entire  State,  he  was  appointed 
a  member  of  the  Fair  Commission,  on  which  he  has  served  four  years, 
three  of  which  he  has  been  Chairman.  Despite  the  fact  that  h''s

duties  as  Superintendent  of  the  Alt.  Hope  Sheep  Company,  and  active 
member  of  the  firm  of  Campbell,  Francis  &  Co.,  are  more  than 
ordinarily  arduous,  Air.  Campbell  has  proven  himself  one  of  the 
most  enthusiastic  workers  ever  named  on  the  Fair  Commission,  and 
naturally  takes  great  pride  in  the  work  accomplished  in  its  develop- 
ment during  the  past  few  years.  He  is  equally  energetic  in  the 
interests  of  the  Wool  Growers'  Association,  and  has  left  nothing  un- 
done to  further  its  advancement.  As  a  politician  Mr.  Campbell  is 
known  from  one  end  of  the  State  to  the  other,  and  as  an  appreciation 
of  his  work  in  this  line  he  might  have  had  practically  anything  he 
desired  of  his  party,  but  it  has  been  his  pleasure  heretofore  to  step 
back  in  order  to  further  the  interest  of  his  friends.  He  has  been 
actively  interested  in  the  political  work  of  the  State  for  years,  and  in 
1896  was  sent  as  delegate  to  the  National  Convention  that  nominated 
Bryan.  Mr.  Campbell  is  the  oldest  of  six  brothers,  all  of  whom 
have  made  their  homes  in  the  United  States,  three  in  Washington 
State,  and  three  in  Arizona.  One  of  these,  C.  L.  Campbell,  also  a 
well  known  stockman  of  Arizona,  was  a  member  of  the  upper  house 
in  the  last  Territorial  Legislature,  elected  in  Navajo  county.  Whole- 
souled,  genial  and  generous,  Mr.  Campbell  is  esteemed  and  respected 
throughout  the  State,  but  is  seen  to  best  advantage  when  dispensing 
hospitality  at  his  beautiful  winter  home  near  Phoenix,  where  his 
friends — and  they  are  many — are  ever  accorded  a  true  welcome ; 
while  in  the  northern  part  of  the  State  he  is  known  afar,  his  residence 
at  Flagstaff  being  as  open  as  the  hotels  to  the  wayfarer.  While 
Hugh  Campbell  is  a  genial  host,  his  home  has  that  added  charm  which 
is  found  only  where  a  gracious,  courteous,  home-loving  woman  pre- 
sides, and  Mrs.  Campbell  is  noted  throughout  the  Southwest  for 
her  charm  of  manner  and  the  grace  with  which  she  entertains  those 
so  fortunate  as  to  be  the  guests  of  their  home.  Before  her  marriage 
to  Mr.  Campbell  in  November,  1893,  she  was  Miss  Madie  Chrisman, 
one  of  the  popular  young  ladies  of  her  section.  They  have  two 
children,  Daniel,  aged  18,  a  student  at  the  Mercersburg  Academy, 
Mercersburg,  Pa.;  and  Luella,  aged  10.  Hugh  Campbell  is  a 
success  from  every  standpoint.  He  has  made  money,  but  what  is 
better,  he  has  made  friends,  and  while  he  might  lose  the  former,  it  is 
safe  to  assume  that  he  will  not  the  latter,  for  the  life-long  practice  of 
his  theory,  "The  way  to  gain  a  friend  is  to  be  a  friend,"  together 
with  his  geniality  and  generosity,  have  won  for  him  the  kind  of 
friends  that  last. 


J.  R.  HENDERSON",  State  Fair  Commissioner,  was  born  in  1872 
in  Kentucky,  where  his  father,  J.  P.  Henderson,  was  a  Baptist  min- 
ister and  well  known  reformer.  When  Mr.  Henderson  was  but  six 
years  old  the  family  removed  to  Kansas,  so  he  is  practically  a  West- 
erner, having  been  brought  up  and  educated  in  the  West.  As  a 


IN      ARIZONA 

youth  he  went  to  Bisbee,  where  his  first  employment  was  in  the 
mine,  and  he  has  since  made  his  home  there.  When  the  municipal 
government  was  established  there,  Mr.  Henderson  was  the  first  City 
Marshal  elected.  In  this,  his  initial  political  office,  he  made  a 
record  which  he  has  continued  to  maintain,  and  he  has  since  held 
various  offices.  As  member  of  the  first  State  Fair  Commission,  Mr. 
Henderson  has  substantiated  the  claims  made  for  him  prior  to  his  ap- 
pointment, and,  with  his  associates,  succeeded  in  accomplishing  almost 
unhoped  for  results  at  Phoenix  in  the  autumn  of  1912.  Mr.  Hender- 
son's brothers  are  founders  and  principal  owners  of  Henderson  Motor 
Car  Company,  of  Indianapolis,  builders  of  the  Henderson  automobile. 
J.  R.  Henderson  is  principal  owner  and  manager  of  the  Henderson- 
Watkins  Company,  of  Bisbee,  and  one  of  the  well  known  business 
men  of  Cochise.  During  the  campaign  of  1911,  as  Chairman  of  the 
Central  Committee  of  Cochise,  he  made  a  record  for  management  and 
economy,  having  spent  only  $1040.  In  1903  Mr.  Henderson  married 
Miss  Nellie  Nichols,  well  known  in  Bisbee,  and  a  member  of  one  of 
the  pioneer  families  of  Arizona. 


JOHN  J.  KEEGAX,  member  of  the  First  State  Fair  Commission, 
was  born  in  Alexandria,  Virginia,  April  6,  1856.  His  early  educa- 
tion was  received  in  the  public  schools  of  Virginia,  and  he  later  took 
a  course  in  Georgetown  University,  Georgetown,  D.  C.  His  course 
in  the  school  of  experience,  acquired  since  he  actually  started  out  in 
life  at  the  age  of  eighteen,  has  been  most  thorough.  Having  master- 
ed telegraphy,  he  used  that  as  his  chief  asset  in  making  a  tour  of  the 
country,  which  he  began  in  the  states  further  south  than  his  home. 
In  1880  he  started  west,  located  in  New  Mexico,  and  for  some  years 
was  identified  with  its  early  history.  He  later  came  to  Arizona,  de- 
cided to  make  it  his  permanent  home,  and  gradually  became  closely 
connected  with  its  important  enterprises  and  its  political  interests. 
A  lifetime  Democrat,  he  is  one  of  the  ablest  workers  the  party 
knows,  and  especially  in  his  home  county,  Gila.  When  statehood 
was  in  sight  and  the  county  of  Gila  was  considered  doubtful,  the  one 
ray  of  hope  seemed  to  be  in  Mr.  Keegan's  management  of  the  cam- 
paign, and  the  confidence  that  his  co-workers  displayed  in  his  ability 
to  rally  the  forces  of  Gila  to  a  Democratic  victory  was  rewarded  by 
the  returns  on  election  day  which  showed  that  but  one  Republican, 
the  County  Attorney,  had  been  elected.  Possessed  of  genial  disposi- 
tion, Mr.  Keegan  is  known  throughout  the  state,  not  only  as  a  poli- 
tician and  a  power  in  party  caucus,  but  as  a  friend  to  the  many  and 
a  man  who  enjoys  the  confidence  of  all.  He  was  a  member  of  the 
Constitutional  Convention,  and  served  on  some  important  commit- 
tees. In  1884  he  was  married  to  Miss  Jennie  Boulton,  formerly  of 
Missouri.  They  have  two  sons,  William  and  John,  and  a  daughter, 
Hazel,  all  of  whom  make  their  home  at  the  family  residence  in  Globe.

MICHAEL  LYONS,  Treasurer  of  Gila  County,  was  horn  in  Hancock 
Michigan,  in    18(><S,  where  his  father,   Michael  Lyons,  was  a  miner. 

After  having  com- 
pleted the  course  in 
the  public  schools  of 
Michigan,  Mr.  Ly- 
ons started  work  as 
a  hoisting  engineer 
at  Michigan-line,  and 
has  since  been  con- 
nected with  the 
mining  industry.  He 
came  to  Arizona  in 
the  early  nineties, 
and  until  he  was 
elected  to  the  posi- 
tion of  Treasurer 
was  connected  with 
the  Old  Dominion 
Mining  Company, 
holding  different  po- 
s  i  t  i  ons,  including 
that  of  foreman  of 
the  mechanical  de- 
partment of  the 
smelter,  and  at  the 
time  of  his  election 
was  chief  pumping 
engineer  at  the  mine.  He  made  no  canvass  for  the  nomination,  but 
after  having  been  selected  as  his  party's  candidate  made  a  strong  fight 
in  the  campaign,  feeling  that  this  was  his  duty  to  the  Democratic 
party,  with  which  he  has  always  been  affiliated.  This  was  his  en- 
trance into  the  political  arena,  but  he  made  a  popular  candidate  and 
received  a  handsome  majority.  During  his  term  of  office  the  financial 
condition  of  Gila  is  the  best  it  has  ever  been,  and  the  finances  of  the 
county  have  been  handled  in  a  maner  which  has  been  entirely  satis- 
factory to  the  voters.  Mr.  Lyons  is  a  member  of  the  Elks,  Eagles  and 
Moose  lodges,  and  fraternally,  as  well  as  politically,  is  very  popular. 


JOHN"  ELLIS,  Representative  from  Mohave  County,  has  been  a 
resident  of  that  county  for  almost  a  quarter  of  a  century,  during 
which  time  he  has  been  actively  interested  in  mining,  farming  and 
cattle  raising.  Mr.  Ellis  is  now  one  of  the  most  prominent  and 
enterprising  business  men  of  the  county,  as  well  as  one  of  its  pioneer 
residents  who  has  been  earnestly  working  for  its  development.  He 
was  born  in  Knox  Countv,  Missouri,  October  4,  1849,  where  his

father,  Peter  Ellis,  was  one  of  the  pioneer  settlers.  When  but 
eighteen  years  of  age  he  crossed  the  plains  by  wagun  and  located  at 
Fort  Churchill,  Nevada,  and  for  many  years  made  his  home  in  that 
new  country.  At  Whitehill,  Arizona,  he  served  a  four  years'  term 


John  Ellis 

as  Deputy  Sheriff,  and  also  a  term  of  four  years  as  Constable  at  the 
same  place.  As  representative  of  a  county  of  vast  mining  interests, 
and  a  man  of  broad  experience  in  this  industry,  Mr.  Ellis  is  now 
serving  as  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Mines  and  Mining.  He 
is  also  member  of  the  Suffrage  and  Elections,  Militia  and  Public 
Defense,  and  Petitions  and  Memorials  Committees. 


POWHATAN  S.  WREN  is  a  native  of  Virgina,  and  proud  of  that  fact. 
He  also  possesses  the  traits  that  mark  the  true  Southerner  of  the  old 
school,  and  despite  the  fact  that  Mr.  Wren  denies  the  old  school,  the 
family  record  shows  that  he  was  born  in  Powhatan  County,  in  July, 
1842.  Like  the  loyal  Southern  boys  of  that  period,  he  shouldered 
his  musket  in  1861  and  retained  it  until  the  close  of  the  war.  During 
these  years  he  participated  in  many  battles,  bore  the  hardships  of  a 
losing  cause  with  much  fortitude,  and,  when  the  end  came,  returned 
to  his  old  home  in  Richmond.  There  he  found  the  mercantile  busi- 
ness established  by  himself  and  his  brother  had  been  destroyed,  and 
being  without  funds  or  credit  he  was  unable  to  follow  his  inclination 
to  re-establish  this  business,  so  he  entered  the  employ  of  the  Richmond

&  Danville  Railroad  Company.  In  the  fall  of  ISbb,  however,  he 
left  that  position  and  journeyed  to  Galveston,  Texas,  where  he  ac- 
cepted another  railroad  position,  which  he  retained  until  1875.  From 
that  time  he  was  variously  engaged  until  April,  1877,  when  he  was 
appointed  clerk  of  the  City  of  Galveston,  served  in  this  capacity  until 
1880,  and  was  then  elected  Clerk  of  Galveston  County  for  six  years. 
During  Cleveland's  first  administration  he  was  appointed  Chief  Clerk

position  when  Cleveland  was  re-elected,  having  meantime  been  en-

zona in  1900,  at  once  engaged  in  mining  and  merchandising,  his 
present  occupation,  and  immediately  began  to  take  an  active  interest 
in  Democratic  politics,  and  was  chosen  one  of  Yavapai's  representa-

has  retained  to  the  fullest  the  buoyancy  of  youth,  the  keen  sense  of 
humor  and  ringing  laugh  that  most  frequently  mark  the  man  of  early 
years.  Mr.  Wren  is  one  of  the  capable  committee  workers,  and  is 
member  of  the  followings  committees:  Appropriations,  Good  Roads, 
Counties  and  County  Affairs  and  Suffrage  and  Elections.

Perry  Hall 

PERRY  HALL,  Representative  from  Yavapai  County,  stands  high 
among  law-makers  who  are  deeply  interested  in  the  labor  question. 
A  union  engineer  himself,  he  is  ever  on  the  lookout  for  any  measure 
that  might  prove  detrimental  to  the  interests  of  the  men  who  toil,  and 
is  equally  watchful  for  those  which  may  prove  beneficial.  Mr.  Hall 
was  born  on  a  farm  in  Missouri  in  1852,  and  having  completed  his 
education  in  the  public  schools  of  that  vicinity,  he  worked  on  the 
farm  with  his  father,  John  R.  Hall,  for  several  years,  and  in  April, 
1874,  went  to  California.  There  he  served  his  apprenticeship  as 
engineer,  which  has  since  been  his  regular  occupation,  and  he  is  now 
considered  one  of  the  best  qualified  men  in  the  Southwest  in  his  line. 
He  was  elected  to  the  lower  house  of  the  Legislature  in  1908,  and 
during  his  term  established  a  record  for  activity  in  behalf  of  labor. 
In  the  sessions  of  the  First  State  Legislature  Mr.  Hall  has  been 
counted  one  of  the  strong  men  in  the  House.  At  the  first  session  he 
introduced  the  bill  drawn  by  the  Mine  Code  Commission,  which 
provided  for  a  mine  inspector  and  a  complete  revision  of  the  laws 
governing  mining.  He  wTas  also  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Mines  and  Alining  and  member  of  various  others.  In  the  special

session  Mr.  Hall  was  on  the  following  committees:  Mines  and 
Mining,  Labor,  Constitutional  Amendments  and  Referendum,  and 
Ways  and  Means.  Mr.  Hall's  daughter,  Mrs.  Mabel  Conn,  was 
appointed  clerk  in  the  last  Territorial  and  First  State  Legislatures, 
and  like  her  father,  her  record  is  one  of  efficiency.  Mr.  Hall  is  one 
of  the  representative  men  of  his  section,  who,  as  union  man  and  legis- 
lator, has  established  a  reputation  without  blemish. 


JOSEPH  F.  WOODS,  Sheriff  of  Navajo  County,  is  one  of  the  best 
known  and  most  trustworthy  peace  officers  in  Arizona.  He  is 
knowrn  throughout  the  Southwest,  both  in  his  official  capacity  and  as 
a  prominent  man  in  the  cattle  business  for  a  number  of  years  before 

he  was  elected  to  office.  For 
years  he  was  employed  as  foreman 
for  different  cattle  outfits,  handling 
some  of  the  largest  herds  in  the 
Southwest,  and  later  was  in  business 
for  himself.  Mr.  Woods  is  the  son 
of  John  W.  and  Elizabeth  Feeley 
Woods,  who  crossed  the  plains  in  a 
prairie  schooner  in  the  early  days, 
and  were  numbered  among  the  early 
pioneers  of  California,  in  which 
State  Sheriff  Woods  was  born. 
During  the  years  following  the  rush 
of  '49,  John  W.  Woods  was  a  well 
known  figure  in  California.  Joe 
Woods,  as  he  is  familiarly  known, 
having  been  raised  in  the  environ- 
ment of  the  pioneer,  is  thoroughly 
familiar  with  conditions  in  a  com- 
paratively new  country,  able  to  cope 
with  any  emergency  likely  to  be 
met  in  the  discharge  of  his  duties, 
and  does  not  know  the  meaning  of 
fear.  Twice  he  was  the  choice  of 
his  party  for  the  office  of  Sheriff, 
but  with  the  party  met  defeat,  but  having  been  elected,  he  made  a 
record  that  was  difficult  to  surpass,  and  he  has  been  twice  re-elected, 
and  during  his  long  term  of  service  his  work  has  been  highly  creditable 
to  himself  and  most  gratifying  to  his  constituents.  Mr.  Woods  was 
married  in  1890  to  Miss  Rowena  Harris,  and  they  have  two  sons. 
The  older,  Chauncey  Harris  Woods,  is  a  bright  youth  of  nineteen, 
with  excellent  prospects  for  the  future,  while  the  younger,  Joseph 
Huston  Woods,  is  a  lad  of  nine,  possessing  the  characteristics  of  his 
father,  and  a  probable  future  sheriff.

Alexander  Barker 

ALEXANDER  BARKER,  Representative  from  Final  County  to  the 
First  State  Legislature,  was  also  a  member  of  the  Twenty-first  and 
Twenty-third  Territorial  Assemblies.  He  was  born  in  Lockport, 
Louisiana,  November  25,  1849,  and  is  the  son  of  B.  F.  and  Louise 
Hobbs  Barker.  He  attended  school  in  Sandusky,  Ohio,  in  his  early 
teens,  but  left  to  join  the  United  States  Army.  After  serving  three 
years  in  the  army,  he  was  discharged  as  Sergeant  of  Company  G, 
Seventh  United  States  Infantry.  He  returned  to  Louisiana,  which 
he  made  his  home  until  1881,  and  in  the  latter  year  came  to  Arizona. 
During  his  residence  in  Louisiana  he  held  positions  of  honor  and  trust 
under  three  governors,  William  P.  Kellogg,  Republican,  and  L.  A. 
Wiltz  and  Francis  Till  Nichols,  Democrats,  and  served  thirteen 
years  as  postmaster  in  Lockport,  his  native  town.  His  first  residence 
in  Arizona  was  at  Florence,  and  for  more  than  thirty  years  Mr 
Barker  has  been  one  of  Final  County's  recognized  leading  citizens, 
and  one  credited  with  having  at  heart  the  interests  of  his  State  and 
party.  Mr.  Barker's  occupation  has  been  mining  and  farming  in 
Final  County.  There  he  reared  a  family  of  eight  children,  all  of 
whom  are  living.  One  son,  Captain  Alexander  Barker,  is  a  member 
of  the  Louisiana  Legislature.  His  brother.  Honorable  C.  J.  Barker, 


564  WHO'S     WHO 

was  one  of  the  eminent  men  of  Louisiana,  and  another  brother,  Frank 
Barker,  was  President  of  the  Senses  Charity  Hospital,  the  second  best 
of  its  kind  in  the  country.  Always  a  public-spirited  man,  and  having 
done  much  that  redounded  to  his  credit,  and  with  a  personality  that 
has  endeared  him  to  many,  in  no  way  could  he  have  more  generally 
demonstrated  the  humane  side  of  his  character  and  his  innate  kindness 
and  forethought  than  by  his  one  act  of  introducing  here  from  his  old 
home  state  the  beautiful  umbrella  tree.  Mr.  Barker  saw  years  ago 
what  an  advantage  this  would  prove  in  future  years,  and  had  his 
brother  send  him  some  of  the  seed,  which  was  planted  in  Florence, 
and  produced  trees  so  attractive  that  the  seed  has  been  passed  on  until 
the  trees  are  to  be  found  today  in  every  part  of  Arizona  where  it  is 
possible  for  them  to  grow.  They  have  so  greatly  enhanced  the  ap- 
pearance of  so  many  places,  and  have  proven  such  a  boon  to  the  State, 
being  among  the  most  ornamental  and  best  shade  trees  of  the  South- 
west, that  they  are  bound  to  prove  an  everlasting  monument  to  Alex- 
ander Barker.  In  the  special  session  Mr.  Barker  was  chairman  of  the 
noted  "Ax"  Committee.  He  also  served  on  the  Committees  on  Labor, 
Live  Stock,  and  Counties  and  County  affairs. 


E.  A.  HUGHES,  Assessor  of  Cochise  County,  has  always  taken  a 
prominent  part  in  the  State  Assessors'  Association,  and  at  the  last 
election  he  was  chosen  Secretary  and  Treasurer.  His  parents  were 
William  and  Ann  Long  Hughes,  pioneers  of  California.  Mr. 
Hughes  was  born  in  Contra  Costa  County,  California,  but  his  parents 
came  to  Arizona  when  he  was  but  five  years  of  age,  and  settled  in 
Cochise  County.  Mr.  Hughes  attended  the  public  schools  and  the 
University  of  Arizona,  and  the  Shattuck  Military  Academy  at  Fari- 
bault,  Minnesota,  from  which  he  was  graduated  in  1900.  He  then 
entered  the  University  of  Minnesota,  but  before  he  completed  the 
course  took  a  position  with  the  Standard  Oil  Company,  by  whom  he 
was  employed  two  years.  He  then  went  to  Mandan,  North  Dakota, 
to  work  in  the  First  National  Bank,  and  remained  a  little  more  than  a 
year,  when  he  returned  to  Arizona,  was  appointed  Assistant  Clerk  of 
the  Board  of  Supervisors  and  located  in  Tombstone.  He  next  served 
as  Chief  Deputy  to  the  County  Recorder.  In  the  fall  of  1911  he  was 
the  Democratic  party's  nominee  for  the  position  of  Assessor,  and 
received  large  majorities  both  in  the  primaries  and  at  the  election. 
As  Assessor  his  work  has  been  most  satisfactory,  and  the  valuation  of 
property  in  Cochise  County  has  been  raised  from  a  little  over  nineteen 
millions  in  1911  to  nearly  ninety  millions.  Mr.  Hughes  is  a  member 
of  the  York  Rite  Masons  and  is  at  present  serving  as  Master  of  King 
Solomon  Lodge  No.  5.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.  In 
1906  Mr.  Hughes  was  married  to  Miss  Mabel  Feldman,  of  Tucson, 
and  to  them  have  been  born  three  children,  Marjory,  age  five,  and 
Marion,  age  three.

WHO'S      WHO 


JAMES  H.  KERBY,  first  Assessor  of  Greenlee  County,  was  born  in 
Huntsville,  Mo.,  April  30,  1881.  He  is  the  youngest  son  of  Cliff  T. 
and  Cassie  Rutherford  Kerby,  whose  parents  were  among  the  most 
prominent  and  influential  residents  of  Missouri.  His  father  died 
when  James  was  but  three  years  old,  leaving  a  widow  and  five  chil- 
dren, four  boys  and  one  girl.  Mr.  Kerby  was  reared  upon  a  farm, 
and  received  only  the  advantage  of  a  graded  public  school  education. 
Not  being  satisfied  with  this,  through  his  own  efforts  he  completed  a 
commercial  course  in  one  of  the  best  schools  of  Quincy,  111.,  after 
which  he  located  in  the  City  of  St.  Louis,  where  he  was  associated 
with  William  Seely,  Circulation  Manager  of  "The  St.  Louis  Star," 
for  about  a  year.  Mr.  Seely  then  left  this  position  and  became  inter- 
ested in  the  Seely-Van  Dyke  Drug  Company,  East  Orange,  N.  J., 
took  Mr.  Kerby  with  him,  and  for  more  than  a  year  he  was  in  the 
employ  of  this  company.  Then,  through  correspondence  with  an 
old  schoolmate  who  was  located  there,  he  came  to  Arizona  and  made 
his  home  in  Clifton,  arriving  there  in  May,  1903.  He  first  worked  in 
the  drug  department  of  the  A.  C.  Co.,  and  then  took  a  position  as 
bookkeeper  of  the  Cromb  &  Shannon  meat  market.  In  1905  he  re- 
turned to  Missouri  and  was  married  to  Miss  Cora  Gibson,  daughter 
of  George  D.  and  Emilio  Gibson,  one  of  the  prominent  families  of 
Howard  County,  of  which  her  father  served  as  Sheriff  for  twelve 
years.  On  his  return,  however,  he  became  dissatisfied  with  working 
for  a  salary,  and  started  for  himself  in  the  real  estate  business.  He 
was  deputy  to  Assessor  John  J.  Birdno  from  1907  to  1911  in 
Graham  County,  and  because  of  his  fair,  impartial  and  fearless 
manner  of  assessing,  and  his  knowledge  of  taxation,  he  earned  the 
reputation  of  being  one  of  the  best  officers  who  ever  served  the 
county  in  that  capacity.  In  January,  1911,  Greenlee  County  was 
organized  from  Graham,  making  necessary  the  appointment  of  an 
assessor  for  the  new  county.  Certain  interests  fought  the  appoint- 
ment of  Mr.  Kerby,  but  he  secured  the  appointment.  He  started 
out  with  a  valuation  of  $5,762,447.66,  and  at  the  end  of  the  first 
year,  though  having  worked  at  a  disadvantage  on  account  of  not  hav- 
ing maps  or  plats,  the  result  wras  remarkable,  as  after  the  equalization 
•was  made  it  was  found  that  the  county's  taxable  wealth  showed  an 
increase  of  $1,409,421.92.  In  the  fall  of  1911,  when  county  officers 
were  elected,  Mr.  Kerby  led  his  ticket  in  amount  of  votes  received 
by  any  candidate  having  an  opponent.  His  assessment  for  the  year 
1912  showed  a  more  remarkable  increase,  for  after  the  equalization 
was  made  it  was  found  that  the  taxable  wealth  of  the  county  amounted 
to  more  than  $12,726,000.00,  an  increase  over  that  of  1911  of  more 
than  $5,503,000.00,  or  a  total  increase  of  $6,993,562.34  for  two  years. 
Mr.  Kerby  became  a  member  of  the  Arizona  County  Assessors'  Asso- 
ciation in  1911,  when  it  was  organized,  and  has  done  some  wonderful 
work  in  having  this  association  recommend  tax  measures  to  the  legis- 
lature, among  which  is  the  repeal  of  the  bullion  tax  law.  It  was 


IN       ARIZONA 


5G7 


his  draft  of  the  measure  creating  the  Tax  Commission  that  was 
adopted  by  the  Attorney  General,  and  at  the  time  of  the  appointment 
of  this  commission  Mr.  Kerby  was  offered  the  position  of  Secretary, 
and  after  the  resignation  of  one  of  the  members  was  offered  a  place  on 
the  commission,  which  he  refused  because  he  was  offered  the  short 
term  instead  of  the  one  made  vacant  by  the  resignation.  Mr.  Kerby 
has  the  reputation  of  being  one  of  the  best  informed  men  in  the  State 
on  the  subject  of  taxation,  always  interested  in  the  equalization  of 
assessments.  He  is  a  progressive  Democrat,  interested  in  working 
for  the  best  interests  of  Democracy.  He  organized  the  first  Demo- 
cratic club  in  Greenlee  County,  and  the  fruits  of  its  labors  are  to  be 
noted  at  each  election.  Mr.  Kerby  is  a  member  of  Elks'  Lodge  No. 
1174,  and  Coronado  Masonic  Lodge  No.  8,  F.  &  A.  M.,  both  of 
Clifton. 


Allan  B.  Ming 

ALLAN  B.  MING,  Assessor  of  Yuma  County,  having  been  identified 
with  the  upbuilding  of  tne  State  since  1900,  and  having  taken  an 
active  part  in  the  development  of  the  section  in  which  he  resides,  is 
known  as  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic  boosters  for  Arizona,  especially 
for  Yuma  County,  that  is  to  be  found  in  the  Southwest.  As  Com- 
missioner of  Immigration  he  did  much  to  make  known  to  the  outside 
world  the  advantages  of  Yuma  County,  and  by  means  of  his  publicity 
campaign  while  in  this  position,  and  as  President  of  the  Chamber  of

Commerce,  the  county  received  a  strong  impetus  in  its  development 
and  made  rapid  strides  because  of  the  class  of  settlers  who  were 
attracted  to  the  vicinity.  Mr.  Ming  is  the  son  of  Charles  H.  and 
Louise  Swackhammer  Ming.  He  was  born  in  1874,  in  New  Jersey, 
where  his  father  was  engaged  in  the  lumber  business.  His  ancestors 
were  among  the  early  colonial  settlers,  and  can  be  traced  back  to 
Revolutionary  times.  Mr.  Ming  has  been  active  in  the  Good  Roads 
campaign,  and  is  one  of  the  directors  of  the  Yuma  County  Association; 
he  is  also  a  director  in  the  Yuma  Chamber  of  Commerce,  one  of  the 
most  wide  awake  organizations  of  the  Southwest.  He  is  interested 
in  mining,  irrigation  and  farming  projects,  and  is  Secretary  and 
Treasurer  of  the  Thumb  Butte  Mining  Company.  In  politics  he  is 
a  progressive  Democrat,  and  has  held  important  positions  in  the  party 
organization,  both  State  and  County,  having  been  a  member  of  the 
State  Central  Committee  and  County  Chairman.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  Elks  and  Eagles,  and  of  other  fraternal  organizations,  is  one  of 
the  best  known  and  best  liked  men  in  his  county,  and  his  administra- 
tion of  affairs  in  the  Assessor's  office  during  the  past  year  has  met 
with  the  hearty  approval  of  the  people  interested. 


WILLIAM  EATON  MARVIN,  Deputy  County  Assessor  of  Yuma 
County,  has  been  recently  in  charge  of  the  State  Highway  construc- 
tion between  Ray  and  Globe,  under  the  direction  of  the  State  En- 
gineer's office.  He  was  born  May  11,  1868,  in  Mooreville,  Mich- 
igan. He  is  the  son  of  Milton  E.  Marvin  and  grandson  of  William 
E.  Marvin,  a  well  known  financier  who  owned  a  large  tract  of  land 
in  Michigan,  and  was  one  of  the  earliest  pioneers  of  that  State. 
Milton  E.  Marvin  managed  his  father's  estate  after  his  death  until 
it  was  swept  away  in  a  panic.  He  died  shortly  after,  leaving  a  fam- 
ily, of  which  William  Eaton  Marvin  was  the  oldest,  and  it  became 
his  duty  to  support  his  mother  and  the  other  children.  He  left  home 
at  the  age  of  fourteen,  and  his  education  was  acquired  at  odd  times. 
However,  he  succeeded  in  mastering  surveying  and  engineering,  and 
has  been  identified  with  some  of  the  largest  projects  in  the  Southwest. 
He  arrived  in  the  Yuma  Valley  March  29,  1893,  where  he  worked 
as  engineer,  and  was  a  pioneer  of  that  section.  He  also  worked  as  a 
miner,  prospertor  and  at  other  work  common  to  the  frontier  until 
1898,  when  he  went  to  Cuba  with  Roosevelt.  He  was  elected  County 
Recorder  and  ex-officio  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  and  was 
one  of  the  few  Rough  Riders  elected  to  office  that  year.  In  1900  he 
was  elected  County  Surveyor  of  Yuma ;  two  years  later  was  elected 
Supervisor  by  the  largest  vote  ever  cast  in  the  county  for  that  office, 
and  wTon  the  four-year  term.  He  was  re-elected  in  1908.  At  the 
expiration  of  two  years  he  was  again  named  for  this  office,  and  served 
as  member  of  the  Board  until  Arizona  became  a  State.  In  order  to

have  the  benefit  of  Mr.  Marvin's  wide  experience  and  knowledge  of 
values  in  the  county,  A.  B.  Ming  appointed  him  Deputy  County 
Assessor.  In  June,  1912,  he  was  asked  to  take  charge  of  the  road 
building  between  Globe  and  Ray.

W.  G.  DUXCAX,  Assessor  of  Gila  County,  was  born  in  Burleson 
County,  Texas,  in  1859;  he  was  left  an  orphan  at  an  early  age,  and 
was  the  support  of  his  widowTed  mother  and  his  sisters.  The  Civil 
War  having  reduced  the  fortune  of  the  family  greatly,  he  secured  a 
position  as  bookkeeper,  and  by  his  efficiency  won  the  confidence  and 
esteem  of  his  employers,  and  became  known  as  a  sterling,  competent 
and  honest  man.  He  was  elected  County  Clerk  and  succeeded  him- 
self without  opposition,  because  of  his  excellent  record.  Mr.  Duncan 
moved  to  Arizona  in  1896  with  his  family,  composed  of  his  wife, 
four  boys  and  one  girl.  One  of  his  sons  is  at  present  his  chief 
deputy  in  the  assessor's  office.  Soon  after  his  arrival  he  became 
associated  with  J.  N.  Porter  in  the  mercantile  business  at  Fort 
Thomas.  He  moved  to  Globe  in  1901,  and  was  associated  with 
different  firms  until  1903,  when  he  went  to  San  Carlos  and  engaged 
in  the  business  of  post  trader.  In  1907  he  returned  to  Globe,  served 
as  Deputy  Sheriff  and  Constable,  and  resigned  the  latter  position  to

over  one  of  the  strongest  Republicans  in  Gila  County,  Dan  R. 
Williamson,  the  incumbent  at  that  time.  Mr.  Duncan  has  a  com- 
plete knowledge  of  values,  knows  conditions  thoroughly,  and  his 
rugged  honesty  makes  him  an  ideal  man  for  Assessor  of  the  rich  and 
prosperous  County  of  Gila.  Jeff  A.  Duncan,  Chief  Deputy  Assessor, 
like  his  father,  is  a  Texas  Democrat.  He  received  an  excellent  edu-

cation  in  the  common  schools,  and  from  an  early  age  was  employed  in 
the  butcher  business  in  Globe,  until  appointed  Deputy  Assessor.  Wal- 
lace A.  Duncan,  another  son,  received  a  good  business  training,  and 
at  present  is  Chief  Clerk  for  the  Hayden  Mercantile  Company,  at 
Hayden,  Arizona.  John  A.  Duncan,  the  third  son,  is  Agent  of  the 
Arizona  Eastern  Railroad  Company  at  Fort  Thomas.  The  youngest 
of  the  four  boys  is  Clarence  C.  Duncan,  a  jeweler,  who  holds  a  good 
position  in  Phoenix.  The  Duncan  family,  who  swell  the  Demo- 
cratic majority  by  five  votes  each  election,  will  always  be  found  on 
the  side  of  progress  and  modern  methods.

R.  W.  SMITH,  Clerk  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Graham  County, 
was  born  in  Washington,  Utah,  April  22,  1875.  His  father,  John 
W.  Smith,  a  native  of  Tennessee,  was  one  of  the  early  pioneers  of 
the  West,  having  settled  in  California  in  the  early  fifties.  He  is  now 
living  at  Green  River,  Utah.  His  mother,  Nancy  Kilbreth  Smith, 
died  in  the  spring  of  1912  at  the  age  of  63.  Mr.  Smith  had  but  little 
education,  having  been  reared  on  the  frontier,  but,  being  studiously 
inclined,  by  steady  application  was  able  to  prepare  himself  for  teach- 
ing, and  taught  in  the  district  schools  of  Graham  County  foi  nine 


R.  W.  Smith 


years.  He  then  entered  the  Los  Angeles  Business  College,  from 
which  he  received  a  diploma  in  telegraphy,  and  entering  the  service 
of  the  railroad  company  at  Safford,  Arizona,  he  filled  the  position  of 
operator  and  agent  for  a  period  of  seven  years  at  different  stations 
along  the  line  of  the  Arizona  Eastern.  Receiving  an  appointment 
as  Clerk  of  the  District  Court  under  Judge  E.  W.  Lewis,  he  resigned 
his  position  with  the  railroad  company,  and  has  since  been  Clerk  of 
the  Court.  Mr.  Smith  is  a  Republican,  but  is  one  of  the  most 
popular  men  of  Graham  County,  and  at  the  election  of  1911  over- 
came a  normal  Democratic  majority  of  about  six  hundred.  He  was 
united  in  marriage  with  V.  Louie  Worsley  in  1897,  and  to  the  union

have  been  born  seven  children.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Smith  are  members 
of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints,  and  Mr.  Smith, 
as  is  customary  among  the  members  of  his  faith,  was  called  upon  by 
the  church  authorities  and  in  re-ponse  thereto,  proceeded  south  and 
spent  two  years  as  a  missionary  in  the  Southern  States,  largely  in 
Tennessee,  Alabama  and  Georgia.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Knights 
of  Pythias,  and  both  he  and  Mrs.  Smith  belong  to  the  Pvthian  Sisters. 


DANIEL  JOSEPH  CRONIN,  Recorder  of  Coconino,  has  without 
doubt  as  wide  an  acquaintance  in  the  county  as  any  of  the  pioneers, 
although  he  has  been  a  resident  of  the  State  but  six  years.  Though 
a  graduate  of  San  Xavier  College,  Cincinnati,  in  the  class  of  1900, 

he  did  not  wait  until  he  was  offered 
a  position  suitable  to  the  dignity  of 
a  college  man,  but  immediately  got 
busy  at  th?  first  thing  that  presented 
itself,  which  happened  to  be  in  a 
lumber  camp.  He  was  a  willing 
\vorker,  his  ability  was  recognized, 
and  he  soon  had  a  better  position. 
He  next  tried  farming,  then  mining, 
and  has  been  interested  in  every  sort 
of  work  known  to  that  section,  with 
the  exception  of  sheep  herding  and 
cow  punching,  but  he  declares  he 
may  take  up  this  work  at  any  time. 
He  worked  for  some  time  as  Clerk 
of  the  Commercial  Hotel,  thereby 
increasing  his  already  large  circle 
of  acquaintances,  and  his  next  move 
was  in  the  mercantile  business,  as 
bill  clerk  in  the  employ  of  C.  A. 
Black  &  Brother.  He  was  known  as  a  careful,  able  and  energetic 
young  man,  was  appointed  Deputy  Recorder  under  Jesse  L.  Boyce, 
and  it  was  probably  the  record  he  made  in  that  position  which  elected 
him  to  the  ore  he  now  holds.  Dan  J.  Cronin  came  from  real  old 
Irish  stock,  his  parents,  Dennis  and  Margaret  Carroll  Cronin,  having 
both  been  born  a"d  educated  in  Ireland.  They  came  to  Cincinnati  in 
the  early  days  of  Ohio,  and  there  Dan  was  born  in  1880.  Mr. 
Cronin  is  a  power  in  the  Democratic  party  of  the  State,  of  which 
he  is  a  staurch  supporter.  He  is  acquainted  with  the  rank  and  file 
of  the  voters  of  his  county,  and  having  had  experience  in  many  lines, 
is  versed  in  the  needs  and  desires  of  the  people,  and  it  is  safe  to  assert 
that  there  never  has  been  a  more  prudent  and  careful  administration  in 
the  Recorder's  office  than  that  furnished  by  the  present  incumbent.

P.  J.  FARLEY,  Clerk  of  the  Superior  Court  of  Yavapai  County, 
enjoys  the  confidence  of  a  larger  constituency  than  is  the  portion  of 
most  county  officials,  and  his  conduct  in  office  indicates  that  no  one 
more  highly  appreciates  the  honors  conferred  upon  him,  as  every  posi- 
tion of  trust  he  has 
filled  has  been  noted 
for  prompt  and  high 
class  service  during 
his  incumbency.  In 
fact,  it  is  said,  dur- 
ing his  entire  career 
as  a  wage  earner, 
he  has  never  been 
discharged,  invaria- 
bly resigning  to  en- 
ter other  fields  with 
a  view  to  bettering 
his  condition.  Mr. 
Farley  was  born  in 
Meath  County,  Ire- 
land, on  March  17, 
1865.  After  com- 
pleting normal  and 
civil  service  courses 
in  his  native  land,  he 
joined  his  father,  an 
Irish  exile,  in  Mis- 
souri, in  1883,  en- 
gaging in  the  stock 
business.  Later  his 
ambition  overrode 
his  judgment,  and, 
separating  himself  from  lowing  herds  and  bleating  flocks,  he  found 
employment  in  Kansas  City,  where,  though  under  twenty-one  years 
of  age,  he  was  General  Foreman  for  Smith  &  Baer,  one  of  the  largest 
contracting  firms  of  the  place.  After  three  years  in  this  capacity, 
we  find  him  in  Arizona,  engaged  in  mining.  In  the  fall  of  1900  he 
was  elected  Recorder  of  Yavapai  County,  and  re-elected  in  1902  by 
one  of  the  largest  majorities  on  the  Democratic  ticket.  He  served 
as  Enrolling  ard  Engrossing  Clerk  of  the  Council  of  the  Twenty-third 
Legislature,  when  Honorable  George  W.  P.  Hunt  was  president  of 
that  body.  Demand  for  his  public  services  did  not  end  here,  for, 
on  reaching  Prescott,  his  home,  he  was  met  at  the  depot  by  the  County 
Assessor,  who  engaged  him  as  his  deputy.  Before  his  term  of  service 
was  ended  he  was  discovered  by  J.  W.  Milnes,  editor  of  the  Journal- 
Miner,  wrho  offered  him  a  position  on  his  staff.  This  accepted,  he 
entered  upon  the  tempestuous  sea  of  journalism,  and  for  more  than 


WHO     S      W  H  O 


seven  years  was  successively  city  editor  of  the  Journal-Miner,  city 
editor  of  the  Courier,  and  night  editor  of  the  Journal-Miner.  As  a 
mining  writer  he  has  a  wide  reputation  for  veracity,  and  during  the 
last  few  years  has  furnished  many  eastern  and  coast  newspapers  with 
Arizona  copy,  resulting  in  flattering  offers  as  special  correspondent, 
which  have  been  refused.  Mrs.  Farley  was  born  in  Dublin,  Ireland. 
Her  maiden  name  was  Mollie  B.  Kirwan.  She  is  the  youngest  of 
fourteen  children,  the  daughter  of  a  prominent  lumber  merchant  of 
her  native  city.  She  was  graduated  with  high  honors  from  St. 
Michael's  Convent  of  Mercy,  Newtown  Forbes,  Longford  County, 
Ireland,  is  accomplished  and  a  talented  pianist.  Her  friends  are 
legion,  and  she  is  well  known  for  quiet  charitable  work. 


PETER  E.  HOWELL,  Recorder  of  Pima  County,  has  the  distinction 
of  being  the  first  Recorder  in  the  County  under  the  new  State.  Mr. 
Howell  uas  born  in  Oxford  County,  Ontario,  in  1874,  and  moved 
to  Michigan  in  1883,  where  he  finished  his  preliminary  education  in 

the  common  schools,  then  took 
a  complete  course  in  the  Pouch- 
er  Business  College,  at  Ionia, 
Mich.  He  has  been  a  resident 
of  Arizona  for  a  number  of 
years,  and  is  very  well  known 
in  the  southern  part  of  the 
State,  especially  in  Tucson  and 
vicinity,  \vhere  he  has  ably  met 
the  requirements  of  his  present 
position.  Mr.  Howell  is  a 
member  of  the  Masons,  Elks 
and  Foresters  of  America. 
He  was  one  time  Venerable

WILLIAM  E.  KELLY,  Recorder  of  Greenlee  County,  is  the  youngest 
county  officer  in  Arizona,  and  one  of  the  youngest  in  the  United  States, 
having  been  but  twenty-two  years  of  age  when  he  assumed  the  duties 
of  his  present  position.  He  is  a  native  of  Arizona,  having  been  born 

in  1889  in  Tombstone, 
where  his  parents,  Michael 
and  Julia  Sullivan  Kelly, 
were  among  the  early  set- 
tlers. He  was  educated  in 
the  public  schools  and  at 
St.  Michael's  College,  San- 
ta Fe.  Mr.  Kelly  has  been 
thoroughly  trained,  and 
before  election  to  his  pres- 
ent position  was  chief  book- 
keeper at  the  Shannon  Cop- 
per Company's  store,  where 
he  showed  marked  ability 
as  an  executive  and  ac- 
countant. His  ability  to 
capably  fill  the  position  of 
Recorder  of  Greenlee 
County  wras  evidently  rec- 
ognized during  the  cam- 
paign, as  he  led  the  ticket 
and  was  elected  by  a  very 
large  majority.  Mr.  Kelly 
is  a  brother  of  J.  J.  Kelly, 
Assistant  Cashier  of  the 
First  National  Bank  of 
Clifton,  and,  like  him,  is  a 
strong  member  of  the  pro- 
gressive Democratic  party 
in  the  State.  Genial,  cour- 
teous and  popular,  the  peo- 
ple who  have  dealings  with 
the  Recorder's  office  speak  in  highest  terms  of  the  manner  in  which 
the  records  of  the  county  are  being  kept,  and  of  the  treatment  accorded 
them  by  the  youngest  county  official  in  Arizona.  Mr.  Kelly  is  also 
well  known  in  the  social  life  of  Greenlee  County,  and  is  popular  in 
fraternal  circles,  being  a  member  of  the  Knights  of  Columbus  and

OWEX    MURPHY,   Recorder   of   Cochise    County,    was    born    in

and   high   schools.        He   has  been   a   resident   of  Ari/ona    for   many 
years,  and  has  long  been  acknowledged  a  factor  in  Cucluse  County 

politics.  Mi.  Murphy  has 
served  the  Democratic  party  in 
various  official  capacities  during 
the  past  fifteen  years,  and  it  can 

^4t|fev  \  nt>    truly  said  that    his  political 

^  ^  \          record  is  without  blemish.      He 

£••  A  Nj       represented  Cochise  in  the  24th 

Legislature,  and  during  his 
term  introduced  much  useful 
and  important  legislation,  prin- 
cipal among  \vhich  was  the 
"Mine  Signal  Act,"  now  a  law 
upon  the  statute  books.  He 
also  served  as  Justice  of  the 
Peace  in  two  of  the  county's 
most  important  judicial  dis- 
tricts, Bisbee  and  Lowell,  for 
nearly  ten  years,  and  his  record 
as  such  official  shows  that  his 
administration  was  a  most 
economical  one,  compared  with 
those  of  his  predecessors.  At 
the  first  election  for  State  and 
County  officers,  in  1911,  Mr.  Murphy  was  elected  to  his  present 
position,  and  led  the  county  ticket,  having  received  several  hundred 
votes  more  than  any  other  candidate  on  the  Democratic  ticket.  Mr. 
Murphy  served  in  the  Spanish-American  war  as  a  member  of  the 
34th  Regiment,  U.  S.  Volunteers,  and  for  two  years  did  service  in

Capable,  courteous  and  genial,  he  has  made  a  most  efficient  Recorder,

PERCY  V.  COLDWELL,  Superintendent  of  the  Arizona  Pioneers' 
Home,  was  born  May  12,  1849,  at  Mount  Vernon,  Arkansas.  He 
was  the  eldest  of  eight  children,  and  his  parents  were  descendants  of 
old  Tennessee  and  Virginia  families.  His  father  took  part  in  the 

war  for  the  independence  of  Texas, 
and  was  the  youngest  one  at  the 
battle  of  San  Jacinto,  having  been 
at  the  time  only  14  years  of  age. 
He  was  later  an  officer  and  inter- 
preter in  General  Doniphon's  regi- 
ment during  the  Mexican  War, 
and  was  a  member  of  General 
Kearney's  staff.  His  father  was 
also  engaged  in  business  in  Mexico 
at  the  age  of  23  ;  he  was  a  slave- 
holder, but  adhered  to  the  Union 
during  the  Civil  War.  Percy 
Coldwell  received  his  early  educa- 
tion at  Plantersville,  Texas,  and 
was  graduated  from  a  commercial 
college  in  New  Orleans.  Coming 
of  a  family  noted  for  its  legal  tal- 
ent, he  studied  law  with  his  father 

and    was   admitted    to    the   bar   at 

Anderson,  Texas,  where  he  prac- 
ticed his  profession  for  one  year,  but  gave  up  his  practice  to  come  West 
in  1873.  He  first  came  to  Tucson  and  engaged  in  mining  and  pros- 
pecting. He  drank  early  of  the  Hassayampa,  and  continued  to  stay 
in  Arizona.  Being  now  in  his  fortieth  year  in  Arizona,  where  his 
life  has  been  mainly  that  of  miner,  prospector  and  rancher,  Mr.  Cold- 
well  has  lived  the  life  of  the  true  pioneer,  much  of  it  in  camp,  and 
thoroughly  knows  the  West.  He  left  Tucson  as  surveyor  under  T. 
F.  White  in  1876,  surveyed  most  of  the  territory  on  the  Gila  River 
and  in  the  San  Rafael,  Santa  Cruz  and  Sonoita  Valleys.  He  also 
lived  twelve  years  in  Bisbee.  He  was  engaged  in  mining  until  ap- 
pointed by  Governor  Hunt  to  succeed  Colonel  A.  J.  Doran  as  Super- 
intendent of  the  Arizona  Pioneers'  Home.  By  birth  and  breeding 
Mr.  Coldwell  is  a  Southerner,  and  the  instincts  and  courteous  manners 
of  the  true  Southerner  have  been  a  part  of  his  inheritance.  His 
brother,  N.  C.  Coldwell,  is  a  well  known  corporation  attorney  in  San 
Francisco;  another  brother,  Judge  William  M.  Coldwell,  was  States 
Attorney  at  El  Paso,  Texas,  and  his  father  was  at  one  time  Judge  of 
the  Supreme  Court  of  Texas.

RAYMOND  REMPEL  EARHART,  Treasurer  of  Santa  Cruz  County, 
has  had  a  variety  of  experience,  but  railroading  has  always  been  his 
main  occupation,  and  he  is  still  a  member  in  good  standing  of  the 
Brotherhood  of  Locomotive  Engineers.  He  was  born  in  Athens,  Ohio, 
and  received  the  benefits  of  the  public  schools  of  that  State.  After 
having  served  his  time  as  fireman,  he  served  six  years  as  an  engineer 
on  the  Hocking  Valley.  In  1906  he  came  to  Arizona  to  take  a 
position  with  the  Mowery  Mining  Company,  twenty-eight  miles  from 
Nogales,  the  pioneer  mine  of  that  section,  and  continued  in  their 
employ  as  engineer,  guard,  and  finally  as  manager,  until  he  was 
called  to  the  County  Treasurer's  office.  He  is  the  son  of  George  H. 
and  Annie  Love  Earhart.  His  mother  is  still  residing  in  Columbus, 
Ohio.  "Ray,"  as  he  is  knowrn  to  his  friends — and  he  has  made 
many  since  he  came  to  Arizona — is  a  progressive  Democrat,  and  is 
one  of  the  influential  members  of  the  party  council,  although  having 
been  in  the  State  but  a  few  years.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Elks,  and 
belongs  to  Tucson  Lodge  385.  He  was  united  in  marriage  with 
Miss  Bessie  Florence  Day,  of  Forest,  Illinois,  in  1902,  and  to  the

him  was  divided  from  the  original  Graham  County.  He  was  first 
elected  to  that  position  in  1884,  and  his  administration  was  so  satis- 
factory that  he  was  re-elected  by  a  large  majority,  and  much  of  the

State's  pioneers.  In  his 
early  years  here  he  drove

vorably known  by  the  old- 
timers.  The  year  before  the 
Timber  Culture  Act  was 
fl  repealed  he  took  up  a  claim 
\  of  160  acres  and  proved  on 
same,  and  part  of  that  prop-

been  for  years  a  well  known 
business  man  of  Florence, 
where  he  has  taken  an  ac- 
tive part  in  the  councils  of

years  w7as  a  member  of  the 
Democratic  Central  Com- 
mittee. At  present  he  is 
the  Chairman  of  the  Coun- 
ty Central  Committee,  and  ex-officio  member  of  the  State  Democratic 
Central  Committee.  In  1900  he  was  elected  a  member  of  the  Board 
of  Supervisors,  and  by  them  chosen  Chairman.  When  a  vacancy 
occurred  recently  in  the  Board,  he  was  chosen  to  fill  out  the  unexpired 
term.  He  has  been  a  member  of  the  town  council  since  the  town  of 
Florence  was  incorporated.  He  was  elected  to  the  23rd  Legislature, 
and  ran  ahead  of  his  ticket,  thereby  giving  evidence  of  the  high  esteem 
in  which  he  is  held  in  his  county.  During  his  term  in  the  Legislature 
he  succeeded  in  having  passed  an  appropriation  bill  making  it  possible 
to  erect  the  bridge  at  Florence,  which  has  proven  a  vast  benefit  to  the 
people  of  that  section  and  aided  greatly  in  its  development,  since  it

ANDREW  JACKSON  MOORE,  the  Chief  of  Police  of  the  City  of 
Phoenix,  is  one  of  those  romantic  figures  that  link  the  wild  and  woolly 
past  with  the  staid  and  law-abiding  present.  Much  of  his  life  he  has 
been  connected  with  the  department  of  justice  in  this  State,  and  ever 
since  the  organization  of  the  police  department  of  Phoenix  he  has  been 
a  dominant  factor  in  seeing  that  the  laws  wrere  observed.  A  self-made 
man,  he  has  steadily  risen  to  his  present  high  position  entirely  through 
his  own  efforts  and  abilities.  Chief  Moore  was  born  in  Prescott, 
Arizona,  in  1875.  His  father  was  also  named  Andrew  Jackson 
Moore.  His  parents  died  when  he  was  very  young,  and  he  was 
thrown  on  his  own  resources.  In  1897  he  first  became  a  peace  officer 
under  Sheriff  Orme.  From  May,  1898,  to  August,  1898,  he  was 


:,ss 


W  HO      S      WHO 


a  packer  in  the  service  of  the  United  States  government,  and  was  sta- 
tioned at  St.  Louis.  He  then  became  sick,  and  rested  until  1900, 
when  he  was  appointed  a  prison  guard  at  the  Arizona  penitentiary. 
In  1903  he  first  entered  the  police  department  under  Chief  McKinney. 
At  that  time  the  police  department  consisted  only  of  Moore  and  his 
chief.  The  department  began  to  grow,  and  when  it  was  expanded  in 
1906  Moore  was  made  chief.  All  through  his  official  career  Chief 
Moore  has  shown  unusual  detective  ability,  and  has  made  a  particular 
study  of  capturing  felons.  In  this  branch  of  the  service  he  has  been 


A.  J.  Moore 


unusually  successful,  and  is  credited  with  many  important  captures. 
He  was  the  right  hand  man  of  Attorney  General  George  Purdy 
Bullard,  who  was  then  the  District  Attorney.  In  1905  Moore, 
through  a  brilliant  piece  of  detective  work,  captured  Florentine  San- 
chos,  who  had  murdered  a  man  for  50  cents  and  was  sentenced  to 
twenty  years'  imprisonment.  He  also  captured  Hernandez  and  his 
pal  who,  in  1905,  robbed  the  Hammond  Place  of  $700  worth  of  jew- 
elry, which  was  found  in  a  river  bed,  together  with  other  loot.  In

1897,  after  a  running  pistol  fight,  in  which  thirteen  shots  were  fired 
at  Moore,  he  captured  a  bad  Mexican  under  the  bed  of  his  house.  In 
1899  Chief  Moore  was  married  to  Miss  Ida  May  McCullough,  of 
Phoenix,  and  they  make  their  home  on  Westmoreland  Street.  Mr. 
Moore  is  a  highly  respected  member  of  the  Elks  and  Knights  of 
Pythias.  On  September  Ib,  1912,  while  Chief  Moore  and  three  of 
his  assistants  were  engaged  in  quelling  a  disturbance  which  began  in  a 
saloon  during  a  Mexican  celebration,  he  was  seriously  injured  by  a 
Mexican  who  attacked  him  with  a  knife  after  six  or  seven  of  the 
offenders  had  been  safely  lodged  in  jail.  The  Chief  was  stabbed 
three  times,  his  clothes  cut  in  many  places,  and  his  condition  was  so 
critical  that  his  life  was  despaired  of  for  weeks.  He  has  fully  re- 
covered, however,  and  is  again  at  his  post,  standing  higher  than  ever 
in  the  esteem  of  his  fellow  citizens,  and  with  renewed  energy  looking 
after  the  interests  of  the  city's  peace  and  well-being  . 


JULIUS  THEODORE  FARQUHAR  was  born  in  Burnet  County,  Texas, 
May  10,  1872.  He  is  the  son  of  Ambrose  Nelson  and  Callia 
Johnston  Farquhar.  Mr.  Farquhar  was  educated  in  the  public  and 
high  schools,  and  early  learned  photography  in  one  of  the  best  equipped 

studios  and  with  one  of  the  best 
photographers  in  the  State  of 
Texas.  At  the  age  of  21  he  had 
established  his  own  studio,  and  has 
been  in  business  for  himself  since 
then,  with  the  exception  of  a  few 
years  when  he  was  employed  by  the 
United  States  Geological  Survey 
as  photographer.  He  came  to 
Douglas  in  March,  1902,  and  in 
1908  removed  to  Globe,  where  he 
opened  a  studio  at  No.  162  West 
Bailey  Street,  which  has  since  been 
his  headquarters.  Mr.  Farquhar 
does  a  grade  of  work  that  is  rarely 
excelled  either  in  detail  or  quality 
of  finish  in  the  large  studios  of  the 
East,  and  is  recognized  as  a  thor- 
ough master  ot  his  profession.  Mr. 
Farquhar  recently  purchased  com- 
plete paraphernalia  for  taking  panoramic  views  and  has  been  making 
a  large  number  in  Gila  County,  including  pictures  of  the  Roosevelt 
Dam.  He  as  a  member  of  the  Knights  of  Pythias,  Moose  and  Red- 
men,  and  is  actively  interested  in  the  fraternal  life  of  Globe.  Mrs. 
Farquhar,  who  was  Miss  Emma  Cecelia  Monroe,  is  also  very  well 
known  and  popular  in  the  vicinity.

JOSEPH  H.  GRAY,  Secretary  of  the  Warren  District  Commercial 
Club,  at  Bisbee,  was  born  in  New  Jersey  in  1869.  He  was  ad- 
mitted to  the  practice  of  law  in  1890,  and  followed  that  profession 
for  ten  years,  when  he  entered  the  newspaper  field.  He  came  to

Arizona  in  1906,  and  has  since  been  connected  with  the  Douglas 
International,  Douglas  Dispatch,  Tucson  Star  and  Bisbee  Review, 
resigning  the  editorship  of  the  latter  paper  to  assume  his  present 
position  with  the  Commercial  Club.  Mr.  Gray  is  a  member  of 
the  Elks. 


CLEVELAND  C.  THOMPSON,  Manager  for  Arizona  and  Sonora  of 
the  Germania  Life  Insurance  Company  of  New  York,  was  born  in 
Washington  County,  Kentucky,  October  9,  1867.  His  lineage  is  of 
that  sturdy  Virginia  stock  that  peopled  Kentucky  in  her  early  days. 
He  enjoys  the  distinction  of  being  related  to  some  of  the  most  dis- 
tinguished families  of  that  State,  among  them  Kentucky's  present

governor,  Honorable  James  B.  McCreary,  and  the  late  Charles  J. 
Bronston,  one  of  the  most  noted  criminal  lawyers  Kentucky  has 
known.  When  Mr.  Thompson  was  but  two  years  of  age  the  family 
removed  to  Clinton  County,  Missouri,  where  he  received  his  earlv 
education.  He  was  afterwards  graduated  with  distinction  from 
Plattsburg  College.  He  then  engaged  in  teaching,  and  while  thus 
employed  was  Secretary  of  the  Missouri  Valley  Teachers'  Association. 


C.  C.  Thompson 


Having  a  natural  aptitude  for  politics,  he  easily  became  one  of  the 
best  known  and  most  aggressive  young  Democrats  in  Northwestern 
Missouri,  and  was  one  of  the  youngest  Clerks  of  the  District  Court 
in  the  State.  He  came  to  Arizona  about  eight  years  ago,  and  located 
in  Bisbee,  where  he  is  well  known,  but  for  several  years  he  has  been 
located  in  Phoenix,  from  which  city  he  covers  the  extensive  territory 
allotted  him.  In  his  present  position  he  has  a  wide  acquaintance, 
and  his  friends  are  co-extensive  with  this  acquaintance.  The  company 
which  Mr.  Thompson  represents,  The  Germania  Life  Insurance 


WHO'S     WHO 

Company  of  New  York,  ranks  among  the  strongest  and  most  reliable 
insurance  companies  in  the  United  States.  Their  classification  of 
risks  and  conservative  management  are  unexcelled,  while  their  long 
experience  and  unblemished  record  enable  them  to  write  one  of  the 
most  practical  and  economical  policies  known  to  the  insurance  world. 
The  annual  cash  dividends,  beginning  the  first  year  and  increasing 
annually,  may  be  applied  to  reducing  the  premiums,  thus  securing  to 
the  policy  holder  his  insurance  at  the  least  possible  cost,  together  with 
the  "total  disability  clause,"  which  guarantees  that  if  the  insured  be- 
comes totally  disabled,  through  sickness  or  accident,  the  company  pays 
the  premiums,  making  this  a  very  desirable  company.  Mr.  Thompson 
is  one  of  the  best  known  insurance  men  in  the  State,  and  by  fair  deal- 
ing and  honest  representations  has  won  an  enviable  reputation.  He 
is  also  prominently  identified  with  the  leading  Democrats  of  the  State, 
and  took  an  active  part  in  organizing  the  progressive  Democracy, 
which  gave  to  Arizona  its  Constitution  and  first  administration.  He 
was  the  first  commissioned  Notarv  Public  in  the  State  of  Arizona. 


EUGENE  WILDER  CHAFIX  was  born  in  East  Troy,  Wisconsin, 
November  1,  1852.  Eugene  was  the  ninth  in  a  family  of  thirteen 
children — six  girls  and  seven  boys.  His  father,  Samuel  Evans 
Chafin,  was  born  in  Weston,  Vermont,  and  his  mother,  Betsy  Almira 
Pollard,  in  Surrey,  New  Hampshire,  where  they  were  married, 
March  5,  1836.  His  mother's  oldest  brother,  Dr.  Amos  Pollard, 
perished  in  the  battle  of  the  Alamo,  Texas.  Mr.  Chafin's  father 
died  October  14,  1865,  which  left  the  care  of  the  farm  largely  in  his 
hands.  He  attended  the  district  and  graded  schools  and  was  gradu- 
ated from  the  University  of  Wisconsin  June  17,  1875,  with  the  degree 
of  LL.  B.,  and  the  same  day  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  the  Supreme 
Court  of  Wisconsin.  He  then  went  to  Waukesha  and  practiced  law 
until  October  1,  1901,  when  he  moved  to  Chicago  and  became  Super- 
intendent of  the  Washington  Home,  an  institution  for  the  treatment 
of  inebriety,  and  there  he  made  a  thorough  study  of  the  effects  of 
alcohol  on  the  human  system.  While  practicing  law  at  Waukesha 
in  1877  he  was  elected  Justice  of  the  Peace,  held  the  office  three  terms 
and  was  elected  Police  Justice  for  two  years;  was  a  member  of  the 
School  Board  and  Public  Library  Board,  and  President  of  the  Wau- 
kesha County  Agricultural  Society  three  terms.  While  a  resident  of 
Chicago  he  was  admitted  to  the  bar  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Illinois, 
and  in  1909  to  the  bar  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United  States  at 
Washington,  D.  C.  In  1881  he  left  the  Republican  party  and  be- 
came a  Prohibitionist,  and  has  taken  an  active  part  in  every  campaign 
since.  While  he  has  never  sought  the  nomination  for  any  office,  he 
has  frequently  been  placed  on  the  ticket.  After  the  admission  of 
Arizona  to  the  union  he  was  the  candidate  of  his  party  for  Congress

at  the  first  election,  in  December,  1911.  He  cast  his  first  vote  in 
Arizona  at  Tucson,  for  the  Constitution  under  which  she  became  a 
State.  He  was  a  delegate  to  the  National  Prohibition  Convention 
in  1884,  and  every  one  since,  and  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Platform  in  1900;  was  a  member  of  the  National  Committee  of  the 
Piohibition  party  for  Wisconsin  from  1888  to  1896,  and  is  a  member 
now  from  Arizona.  Having  joined  the  Order  of  Good  Templars  at 
fourteen  years  of  age,  it  may  be  said  he  then  started  his  career  as  a 


Eugene  Wilder  Chafin 


temperance  advocate,  and  no  kind  of  temperance  work  has  since  es- 
caped him.  He  has  been  a  member  of  the  Sons  of  Temperance  and 
Temple  of  Honor.  Also  an  Odd  Fellow  and  member  of  the  Inde- 
pendent Order  of  Foresters  and  High  Chief  Ranger,  and  of  the 
United  Order  of  Foresters,  of  which  he  was  one  of  the  founders  and 
first  High  Counselor.  At  the  National  Convention  of  the  Prohibi 
tion  party  in  Columbus,  Ohio,  in  1900,  without  the  knowledge  or 
consent  of  Mr.  Chafin,  his  old  friend,  A.  G.  Wolfenbarger  of  Nebras- 
ka, in  one  of  the  most  unique  speeches  ever  made  in  a  nominating  con- 
vention, presented  his  name  as  the  "choice  of  Nebraska"  as  candidate

fur  President.  It  took.  (  )n  the  third  ballot,  out  of  1070  votes, 
Mr.  Chafin  received  636  and  was  declared  the  nominee  of  the  Prohi- 
bition party  for  President  of  the  L'nited  States.  Dr.  Aaron  S.  \Vat- 
kin».  ot  Ada,  Ohio,  was  nominated  for  Vice  President.-  In  1912  Mr. 
Charin  was  nominated  by  acclamation  for  President  and  Dr.  Watkins 
for  Vice  President.  Mr.  Chafin  is  the  author  of  "The  Voters'  Hand 
Hook,"  1876;  "Lives  of  the  Presidents,"  1896,  and  "Lincoln,  the 
Man  of  Sorrow,"  1908.  His  unpublished  popular  lectures,  which  he 
uses  for  Chautauqua  work,  are:  "Washington  as  a  Statesman," 
"Against  Capital  Punishment,"  "How  the  United  States  Grew,"  and 
"Conventional  Lies."  Since  1904  he  has  devoted  his  entire  time  to 
lecture  work.  He  was  one  of  the  founders,  in  1893,  and  is  still  a 
member  of  the  famous  "Phantom  Club"  of  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin. 
It  is  the  most  unique  "club"  in  America.  At  its  annual  meetings 
papers  are  read,  principally  on  historical  subjects.  It  has  published 
three  volumes  of  "Phantom  Club  Papers."  Its  President  is  Judge 
Tames  G.  lenkins  of  Milwaukee,  a  grandson  of  the  distinguished 
Chancellor  Walworth  of  New  York.  November  24  1881,  Mr. 
Chafin  married  Carrie  A.  Hunkins,  of  Waukesha.  Their  first  child 
was  born  February  22,  1884,  and  died.  The  other,  born  March  17, 
1893,  Miss  Desdemona,  is  attending  school  at  the  University  of  Ari- 
zona, at  Tucson.  The  family  removed  to  Tucson,  Arizona,  in  Oc- 
tober. 1909,  bought  a  home,  and  say  they  are  going  to  stay  there  for 
life,  thev  like  it  so  well. 


H.  W.  ASBURY,  Manager  of  the  Crystal  Ice  Si  Cold  Storage  Com- 
pany, Phoenix,  is  an  expert  refrigeration  and  electrical  engineer.  Mr. 
Asbury  is  also  one  of  the  owners  of  this  plant,  which,  prior  to  its 
purchase  by  the  present  Company,  in  February,  1913,  was  knowrn  as 
The  People's  Ice  and  Fuel  Company.  Mr.  Asbury  was  born  ;n 
Macon,  Missouri,  January  25,  1878,  and  is  the  son  of  Andrew  J.  and 
Jennie  Fleming  Asbury.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1900,  and,  locating 
in  Tucson,  was  interested  in  mining.  He  then  went  to  San  Fran- 
cisco and  Los  Angeles,  as  ice  and  refrigeration  engineer,  erecting  and 
installing  plants  in  various  places.  For  eight  years  prior  to  his  com- 
ing to  Phoenix  he  wTas  manager  of  the  Navajo  Ice  &  Cold  Storage 
Company,  the  largest  plant  of  its  kind  in  the  entire  Southwest,  which 
included  also  an  electric  light  and  power  plant,  which,  under  Mr. 
Asbury's  direction,  was  operated  with  remarkable  efficiency  and 
economy.  As  a  result  of  this  form  of  management  the  company's 
prices  on  ice  were  the  lowest  throughout  Arizona  and  New  Mexico. 
Though  the  Crystal  Ice  &  Cold  Storage  Company  has  been  but  re- 
cently reorganized,  its  success  will  doubtless  equal,  if  not  exceed,  that 
of  the  Navajo  Company  during  the  years  Mr.  Asbury  wras  in  charge 
of  their  plant.  He  is  well  known  through  California  and  Arizona, 
both  in  business  and  fraternallv.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Masons,  in

EDWARD  LEANDER  Mix,  of  Nogales,  Clerk  of  the  Superior  Court  of 
Santa  Cruz  County,  was  born  in  Fargo,  North  Dakota,  in  1888.     His 

parents,  Jones  B. 
and  Mary  E.  Steele 
Mix,  were  natives 
of  West  Virginia, 
and  pioneers  of  Ari- 
zona. After  finish- 
ing  the  public 
schools  Mr.  Mix 
completed  a  business 
course  and  soon  aft- 
erward took  up  cler- 
ical work  for  his 
uncle,  L.  W.  Mix, 
in  Sonora,  Mexico. 
He  was  bill  clerk 
and  bookkeeper  for 
Roy  &  Titcomb,  a 
prominent  firm  of 
Nogales,  for  several 
years,  which  position 
he  held  until  he  was 
elected  to  his  present 
office.  He  has  al- 
ways been  an  active 
worker  for  the  Re- 
publican party,  but 
this  is  his  first  offi- 
cial position.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Elks  Lodge  and  takes  a  promi- 
nent part  in  the  fraternal  and  social  life  of  Nogales. 


In  Navajo  County  the  voters  appear  to  have  given  serious  consid- 
eration to  the  selection  of  capable  men  for  the  office  of  Supervisors, 
men  who  have  been  residents  of  the  State  so  long  that  they  may  well 
be  termed  pioneers,  and  who,  therefore,  are  well  versed  in  what  should 
constitute  a  well  conducted  administration  ;  and  the  people  are  fully 
confident  that  affairs  in  the  county  will  be  judiciously  attended  to  and 
expenditures  wisely  made.  The  Supervisors  are  all  property  owners, 
and  men  who  are  largely  interested  in  the  pursuits  which  are  the  main 
industries  of  the  county,  whose  business  interests  have  gradually  de- 
veloped to  their  present  proportions  through  some  years  of  prudent 
direction,  and  whose  standing  is  such  that  nothing  but  the  best  is  ex- 
pected of  them  in  their  official  capacity.  They  have  been  chosen 
because  of  their  fitness  for  the  position.

phone  Company.  Mr.  Richards  is  the  son  of  Joseph  H.  and  Mary 
Willie  Richards,  and  was  born  in  Utah,  where  he  also  received  his 
education.  Having  been  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in 
1907-1908,  he  has  the  advantage  of  the  experience  afforded  him  in 
these  years.  He  was  married  October  12,  1896,  to  Miss  Cora  Cross, 
and  they  have  three  sons  and  three  daughters.  His  home  and  business 
are  at  present  at  St.  Joseph. 


EZRA  T.  HATCH,  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Navajo 
County,  and  one  of  the  most  successful  and  thoroughly  up  to  date 
ranchmen  and  cattlemen  of  the  State,  was  born  on  a  ranch  in  Idaho 
in  1864,  and  has  practically  spent  his  entire  lifetime  in  his  present 
business.  His  education  was  obtained  in  the  public  schools  of  Idaho, 
but  at  the  age  of  fourteen  he  came  to  Arizona  and  for  the  past  34 
years  he  has  been  in  close  touch  with  matters  pertaining  to  the  de- 
velopment of  the  State.  He  first  located  at  Woodruff,  where  he 
remained  two  years,  and  then,  though  extremely  young  to  assume  re- 
sponsibilities, took  up  land  at  Savior.  He  is  now  owner  of  a  large 


!   N      A  R  I  Z  O  N  A 


irrigated  farm  as  well  as  a  large  dry  farm,  and  in  addition  raises 
cattle.  Mr.  Hatch  is  the  son  of  Lorenzo  H.  and  Alice  Hansen  Hatch, 
the  latter  a  native  of  England.  His  father  is  one  of  the  early  western 
pioneers,  having  crossed  the  plains  in  the  winter  of  1849-1850  and  set- 
tled in  Idaho.  Mr.  Hatch  was  married  in  1890  to  Miss  Maria 
Stanchferd,  and  they  have  four  sons  and  four  daughters.  Mr.  Hatch 
has  never  been  actively  interested  in  politics  nor  desirous  of  holding 
office,  and  it  was  solely  because  of  his  broad  knowledge  of  county 
affairs  and  general  conditions  that  his  friends  wished  to  have  him  rep- 
resent the  county  in  the  office  of  Supervisor,  knowing  well  that  his 
integrity  and  business  ability  would  insure  his  becoming  an  able  and 
prudent  official  in  this  capacity.  That  the  people  of  the  county  gen- 
erally approved  their  judgment  was  evidenced  by  the  large  vote  that 
Mr.  Hatch  received  both  at  the  primaries  and  the  election. 

BARNETT  STILES,  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Navajo 
County,  comes  of  a  public  spirited  family.  His  father  served  with 
distinction  in  the  Mexican  War.  Barnett  Stiles  has  the  honor  of 
receiving  the  highest  vote  polled  in  Navajo  County  when  he  was 
elected  Supervisor  on  the  Democratic  ticket  for  the  long  term.  Barney 
Stiles,  as  he  is  familiarly  called  by  his  friends,  is  a  self-made  man 
whose  "word  is  as  good  as  his  bond."  He  is  the  youngest  son  of  John 
B.  and  Susan  Rodgers  Stiles,  and  was  born  in  Richmond,  Texas,  on 
the  14th  of  November,  1867.  He  received  his  education  in  Meridian, 
Texas.  At  the  age  of  nineteen  he  came  to  Arizona  and  has  since  been 
engaged  in  the  cattle  business.  On  July  23,  1906,  he  was  married  to 
Miss  Leora  Stanard,  and  they  have  since  made  their  home  in  Winslow. 


It  seems  to  have  long  been  the  good  fortune  of  Apache  County  to 
be  successful  in  having  business  men  in  charge  of  county  affairs,  es- 
pecially in  charge  of  the  Supervisors'  office,  and  the  present  Board  is 
no  exception  to  the  rule.  This  being,  in  reality,  the  buying  depart- 
ment of  the  county  and  the  office  through  which  such  a  vast  amount 
of  the  county  business  must  be  done,  it  must  be,  indeed,  highly  gratify- 
ing to  the  residents  of  Apache  to  know  that  their  present  Board  of 
Supervisors  is  composed  of  business  men,  wrho  have  made  a  success  of 
their  own  business  affairs,  and  should,  therefore,  be  well  qualified  to 
fill  the  positions  to  which  they  have  been  elected.  Each  one  of  them 
has  been  a  resident  of  the  State  since  childhood,  knows  affairs  and  con- 
ditions, and  is  able  to  cope  with  any  problem  which  may  arise.  The 
Chairman  has  not  only  ability,  but  experience  gained  in  a  former 
term  of  four  years  service  as  Supervisor.  All  are  property  owners, 
always  or.  the  lookout  for  leaks  in  the  county  finances  and  ready  to 
check  the  same,  and  their  administration  bids  fair  to  be  one  of  which 
the  incumbents  of  the  office  and  the  people  who  elected  them  may  be 
justly  proud.

WHO     S     WHO 


J.  R.  ARMIJO,  Chairman,  brought  to  the  office  a  fund  of  valuable 
experience,  and  because  of  his  special  knowledge  of  the  affairs  of  the 
office,  was  made  Chairman  of  the  Board.  A  former  Supervisor,  he 
has  also  been  County  Recorder  and  filled  other  official  positions,  but 
his  regular  occupation  has  been  that  of  sheepman,  of  which  business

he  has  a  thorough  knowledge.  He  is  a  Republican,  an  important 
factor  in  his  party,  and  his  majority  at  the  last  election  proves  that 
he  is  a  man  of  high  standing  in  county  affairs,  and  that  his  careful, 
conscientious  work  in  his  official  career  has  been  appreciated. 


HYRUM  J.  KNIGHT,  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Apache 
County,  who  received  the  largest  vote  of  the  three  candidates  for  the 
position,  is  well  known  and  very  popular  in  Apache.  He  is  consid- 
ered an  authority  on  cattle  and  stock  raising,  for  some  time  having 
been  superintendent  of  the  Lohn  H.  Cattle  Company,  and  in  fact, 
having  grown  up  in  the  business  and  reached  his  present  position  from 
that  of  cow  puncher.  Mr.  Knight  has  an  interest  in  the  company  of 
which  he  is  superintendent  and  other  valuable  interests  in  that  vicin- 
ity, and  is  well  versed  in  conditions  and  property  values  throughout 
the  northern  part  of  the  State.  Pleasing,  popular  among  a  large 
circle  of  acquaintances,  and  a  young  man  who  is  highly  esteemed,  his 
future  from  a  political  standpoint  looks  excellent.  He  married  Vliss 
Lucinda  Sherwood,  whose  family  is  well  known  in  that  section. 


P.  B.  CANDELARIA,  third  members  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of 
Apache  County,  is  a  property  holder  who  has  the  interests  of  tax- 
payers in  mind  at  all  times,  and  while  not  a  believer  in  false  economy, 
feels  that  the  affairs  of  the  county  should  be  conducted  as  carefully

and  conscientiously  as  those  of  the  individual,  and  in  accordance  with 
this  idea  it  is  his  wish  to  do  his  share.  His  father  was  one  of  the 
early  pioneers  of  Arizona  and  a  member  of  one  of  the  old  and  promi- 
nent Spanish-American  families  of  New  Mexico.  Mr.  Candelaria  is  a 
sheepman,  and  while  this  is  the  first  official  position  he  has  ever  held, 
his  knowledge  of  conditions  in  the  State,  especially  regarding  stock 
growing,  the  principal  industry  of  Apache  County,  and  business  ability 
which  he  has  demonstrated,  make  him  well  adapted  to  the  position, 
and  his  record  thus  far  has  been  highly  pleasing  to  those  interested. 


THEODORE  LOPEZ,  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  is  one  of 
the  well  known  young  politicians  of  the  State  and  was  the  party  can- 
didate for  the  office  of  recorder  in  the  last  election,  being  defeated  by 
a  small  majority.  A  graduate  of  St.  Michael's  College  of  Santa  Fe, 
New  Mexico,  he  is  well  qualified  for  the  position  he  now  holds,  and 
the  records  of  the  board  will  be  kept  in  good  order  during  his  term. 
He  was  chosen  from  a  large  field  of  candidates  because  of  his  well 


Theodore   Lopez 


known  qualifications,  and  his  popularity.  Mr.  Lopez  married  Miss 
Mary  Ruiz,  a  daughter  of  a  well  known  attorney,  who  held  numer- 
ous positions  in  the  State  before  he  moved  to  Gallup,  N.  M.,  where 
he  is  now  practicing  law.  To  the  union  two  children  have  been  born, 
Benigno  and  Gilbert.  Mr.  Lopez  has  a  herd  of  fine  cattle  on  his 
ranch  at  Beaver  Dam  Draw,  and  is  one  of  those  progressive  stockmen 
who  are  always  looking  toward  the  improvement  of  the  breeds.  His 
father,  Benigno  Lopez,  was  appointed  postmaster  at  Concho  and  held 
the  office  for  three  years,  Theodor?  Lopez  acting  as  his  assistant. 


WHO     S      WHO 


MRS.  JOSEPHINE  BRAWLEY  HUGHES,  wife  of  ex-Governor  L.  C. 
Hughes,  \\as  horn  near  Meadville,  Pa.  She  had  the  training  and 
experience  of  well  established  farm  life,  finished  her  education  at  the 
Kdinboro  Normal  School  and  taught  in  the  public  schools  two  years. 
She  was  married  to  L.  C.  Hughes  in  July,  1868,  and  came  to  Tucson 
in  1872,  just  one  year  after  Mr.  Hughes  had  located  here,  having  made 
the  trip  by  rail  to  San  Francisco,  thence  by  steamer  to  San  Diego,  and 
thence  by  stage  500  miles  to  Tucson,  traveling  with  her  little  daughter 
in  her  arms,  five  days  and  five  nights  without  halting  save  to  change 
horses,  anil  at  a  time  when  the  hostile  Apaches  were  raiding  that  re- 
gion, rendering  the  stage  journey  most  hazardous  as  well  as  fearfully 
strenuous,  and  one  requiring  endurance,  nerve  and  courage  —  the  pro- 
nounced traits  of  character  of  Arizona  pioneer  women.  Mrs.  Hughes 
was  the  third  American  woman  to  locate  permanently  in  Tucson,  of 
whom  she  and  Mrs.  Lord,  wife  of  Dr.  Charles  H.  Lord,  are  still  liv- 
ing, Mrs.  Scott,  wife  of  Judge  Scott,  the  third  of  the  trio,  having  re- 
cently passed  away.  In  1873,  Mrs.  Hughes  was  appointed  the  first 
woman  public  school  teacher  in  Arizona,  and  established  the  first  pub- 
lic school  for  girls  in  the  Territory.  Co-education  was  so  strongly 
opposed  by  the  natives  that  separate  schools  for  boys  and  girls  were 
rendered  necessary.  In  1875  she  was  appointed  Commissioner  for 
Arizona  to  the  Woman's  Department  of  the  Centennial  Exposition, 
held  in  Philadelphia  in  1876,  and  with  the  family  journeyed  back  to 
Pennsylvania,  traversing  the  same  route  by  which  she  had  come,  and 
again  running  the  Apache  gauntlet,  to  perform  with  patriotic  pride 
the  distinguished  trust  reposed  in  her  by  Arizona. 

In  1877  she  joined  the  small  group  of  American  ladies,  and  gave  a 
strong  hand  in  raising  funds  for  the  erection  of  the  first  Protestant 
Church  in  Arizona  —  the  structure  nowT  in  the  City  Park  —  which  was 
constructed  under  the  auspices  of  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Missions. 
Shortly  thereafter,  upon  the  coming  of  Reverend  George  H.  Adams, 
the  pioneer  Methodist  Missionary  to  Arizona,  Mrs.  Hughes,  having 
been  a  lifelong  Methodist,  was  the  leading  spirit  in  organizing  Meth- 
odism in  Tucson  and  aided  in  constructing  the  brick  church,  then  the 
corner  of  Pennington  Street  and  Stone  Avenue,  which  was  her  especial 
pride  for  many  years,  for  there  were  initiated  most  of  the  reforms  of 
Arizona.  In  this  church  temperance  societies,  adult  and  juvenile, 
were  organized,  and  Miss  Frances  Willard  preached,  prayed,  lectured, 
and  organized  the  temperance  torces  of  Arizona  in  the  W.  C.  T.  U., 
of  which  Mrs.  Hughes  was  soon  thereafter  made  Territorial  President 
and  the  responsibility  of  the  work  fell  to  her  lot.  Its  doors  were 
opened  to  all  distinguished  divines  and  to  reformers  of  all  classes,  and 
there  wTere  heard  evangelists,  educators,  and  all  learned  men  who  pass- 
ed this  way  through  Arizona.  Mrs.  Hughes  served  as  President  of 
the  W.  C.  T.  U.  several  years,  during  which  she  secured  the  passage 
of  the  Sunday  Rest  Bill  by  the  Legislature  in  1887,  and  it  was  during 
the  struggle  to  enact  this  law  that  she  discovered  the  powrer  of  the

ballot  in  legislation.  This  resulted  in  her  securing  Mrs.  Laura  M. 
Johns,  of  Kansas,  a  national  organizer,  to  come  to  Arizona  and  aid  in 
organizing  the  suffrage  sentiment — created  by  the  Arizona  Daily  Star 
—into  a  Territorial  Association,  of  which  Mrs.  Hughes  was  elected 
president.  In  retiring  from  the  Presidency  of  the  W.  C.  T.  U.  to 
take  up  the  Suffrage  cause,  Mrs.  Hughes  said :  "Let  us  secure  the  vote 
for  women  first,  then  the  victory  for  home  and  temperance  will  soon 
mlltM."  At  the  Constitutional  Convention  in  1891  a  strong  fight  was 
made  for  incorporating  an  Equal  Rights  provision  and  was  lead  by 
General  William  Herring.  Mrs.  Hughes,  then  Territorial  President, 
and  Mrs.  Johns,  National  Organizer,  were  invited  to  present  the 
suffrage  cause,  which  they  did  in  two  masterly  efforts,  an  entire  after- 
noon session  having  been  devoted  to  the  discussion  in  which  these  pio- 
neer suffragists  participated  by  invitation.  They  remained  during  the 
entire  session  of  the  convention  and  came  nigh  winning  the  equality 
clause  for  the  constitution.  They  then  made  a  personal  campaign,  or- 
ganizing suffrage  clubs  in  every  county  in  Arizona,  which  resulted  in 
the  question  of  woman's  right  to  the  ballot  becoming  a  living  and 
dominant  issue  in  every  succeeding  legislature.  As  the  Record  shows, 
the  bill  passed  the  Council  in  1891  by  a  vote  of  10  to  2,  and  was  de- 
feated in  the  Assembly;  in  1893  it  passed  the  House,  but  was  defeated 
in  the  Council,  and  met  a  similar  fate  in  1895  and  again  in  1897. 
while  in  1899  it  passed  the  House  and  died  in  Committee  of  Council, 
and  in  1901  passed  both  houses,  but  was  vetoed  by  Governor  Brodie. 
This  veto  proved  a  shock  to  the  suffrage  cause,  but  did  not  wholly 
discourage  its  aggressive  advocates.  It  merely  caused  them  to  change 
their  policy  to  one  of  quiet  educational  work  for  the  cause  ;  temperance 
and  kindred  reforms  as  well  as  the  educational,  religious  and  chari- 
table causes  which  had  for  their  purpose  the  building  of  a  state,  an- 
chored in  the  soundest  principles  which  tell  for  "God  and  home  and 
native  land,"  were  all  included  in  their  work. 

As  one  of  the  mother  builders  of  the  state  for  more  than  forty 
years,  Mrs.  Hughes  now  rejoices  in  gathering  in  the  sheaves  of  two 
generations  of  seed  sowing,  while  looking  with  hope  for  greater 
achievements.  And  it  is  to  such  women  as  Mrs.  Hughes  and  her  co- 
workers,  conscientious,  competent  and  cheerfully  persistent,  that  Ari- 
zona owes  a  vast  debt  of  gratitude,  not  only  because  of  their  energy  of 
purpose  or  faithfulness  of  zeal  in  so  arduous  an  undertaking  for  the 
general  good,  but  because  of  the  great  unconscious  influence  of  their 
strong  and  admirable  personalities,  which  could  not  fail  to  aid  in 
moulding  public  sentiment  in  favor  of  the  nobler  things  which  they 
sought  to  accomplish. 

The  fruits  of  marriage  were  three  children :  Gertrude,  now  wife  of 
Professor  Sherman  M.  Woodward ;  John  T.  Hughes,  State  Senator, 
and  Josephine,  deceased  at  the  age  of  two  years.  The  old  residence, 
erected  at  No.  158  Court  Street,  has  been  their  home  since  1875,  and 
is  one  of  the  historic  spots  of  Arizona.

MRS.  MARY  GRACE  WILLARD  was  born  in  Platville,  Wisconsin,  78 
years  ago  of  famous  pioneer  stock.  Her  father,  Colonel  James  Russell 
Vineyard,  was  one  of  Wisconsin's  foremost  citizens  and  prominently 
associated  with  its  early  history  in  both  a  political  and  literary  way. 

In  the  year  1852  she  was  mar- 
ried to  Joel  Willard,  a  young 
civil  engineer,  and  the  same  year 
the  two  journeyed  with  their 
parents  and  the  entire  families 
of  each  across  the  plains  to  the 
gold  fields  of  California.  Her 
reminiscences  of  that  memor- 
able trip  constitute  a  most  inter- 
esting record.  They  settled  in 
and  near  Sacramento,  where 
Mr.  Willard  engaged  in  the 
stock  business.  In  1870  she 
journeyed  with  her  husband  and 
nine  children  to  Pine  Valley, 
Nevada,  and  was  one  of  the  pio- 
reers  of  that  section.  In  1879, 
her  husband,  whose  failing 
health  made  a  change  impera- 
tive, started  overland  to  Ari- 
zona, accompanied  by  four  of 
his  sons,  but  he  died  en  route, 
and  left  this  brave  and  fearless 
woman  to  guide  the  destinies  of  the  seven  boys  and  girls  who  were  left 
to  her  care,  the  two  oldest  daughters  having  been  married  prior  to  this. 
With  undaunted  courage  she  instructed  her  sons  to  resume  their  jour- 
ney to  Arizona,  where  she  joined  them  as  soon  as  possible  and  the 
family  settled  in  the  Verde  Valley.  Mrs.  Willard  has  always  been 
prominent  in  religious,  temperance  and  suffrage  work,  in  all  of 
which  she  is  yet  active  to  a  great  degree  in  the  vicinity  of  her  home 
in  Cottonwood,  Yavapai  County.  She  has  four  sons  living,  Charles 
D.,  Rudolph  R.,  G.  MacDonald  and  James  R.,  and  one  daughter, 
Mrs.  Jennie  Goodwin,  in  Los  Angeles.  Her  remaining  daughter, 
Mrs.  Frances  Willard  Munds,  makes  her  home  at  Prescott,  but  is 
known  throughout  Arizona  as  the  able  champion  of  woman  suffrage, 
in  which  cause  she  has  been  an  intense  worker  for  15  years.  During 
this  time,  amidst  the  vicissitudes  attendant  upon  her  efforts,  when 
hopes  of  success  were  changed  in  an  almost  inconceivable  way  into 
despair,  and  fulfillment  seemed  as  far  away  as  ever,  the  enduring 
spirit  of  the  pioneer  displayed  by  her  mother,  and  her  persistent  assur- 
ance of  ultimate  success  were  found  by  Mrs.  Munds  to  be  a  never 
failing  source  of  encouragement.  Notwithstanding  the  hardships  of

the  pioneer  life  in  which  Fate  has  cast  her  lot  during  much  of  her  78 
years.  Mrs.  Willard  is  remarkably  well  preserved  and  is  beloved  by 
the  people  far  and  near,  and  to  the  younger  generation  she  is  known 
as  "Aunt  Marv". 


FRANCES  LILIAN  MUXDS,  or,  as  she  prefers  to  be  known,  Frances 
Willard  Munds,  was  born  near  Sacramento,  California,  and  has 
spent  her  entire  life,  except  four  years  spent  at  school  in  Pitt?field, 
Maine,  in  the  States  of  California,  Nevada  and  Arizona.  Her  an- 
cestors were  famous  in  the  political  and  pioneer  history  of  this  great 
West.  Her  maternal  grandfather,  Colonel  James  Russell  Vineyard, 
was  a  member  of  the  legislature  of  Wisconsin  when  that  State  was  still 
a  Territory,  and  was  also  a  member  of  its  Constitutional  Convention. 
From  the  time  it  became  a  State  he  served  continuously  as  State 
Senator  until  he  resigned  his  seat  to  migrate  to  the  goldfields  of  Cali- 
fornia in  1852.  Here  again  he  was  a  member  of  the  legislature, 
elected  from  Los  Angeles  County,  and  had  received  the  Democratic 
nomination  for  United  States  Senator  from  California,  but  his  death 
occurred  before  the  campaign  was  fairly  begun.  He  was  a  man  of 
such  public  distinction  that  the  flags  of  the  city  of  Los  Angeles  were 
lowered  to  half  mast  during  the  time  elapsing  from  his  death  to  his  in- 
terment. He  was  a  lifelong  Democrat  and  also  a  member  of  the 
Masonic  order.  Her  paterral  grandfather  was  a  member  of  the 
famous  Lewis  &  Clark  expedition  and  was  highly  commended  for  his 
bravery  on  that  perilous  and  history  making  trip.  Mrs.  Munds  is 
the  daughter  of  Mrs.  Mary  Grace  Willard,  of  Cottonwood,  Yavapai 
County,  who  has  been  a  resident  of  this  State  since  1879,  and  wTas  a 
pioneer  in  both  California  and  Nevada.  She  is,  therefore,  thoroughly 
imbued  with  the  true  spirit  of  the  pioneer,  and  as  a  heritage  from  her 
Mrs.  Munds  has  undoubtedly  been  endowed  with  her  chief  character- 
istics, a  willingness  tc  attempt,  and  the  ability  to  achieve,  though  years 
of  effort  be  necessary  to  effect  the  consummation  of  her  plans.  Mrs. 
Munds'  early  childhood  was  spent  in  Nevada,  where  educational  ad- 
vantages were  limited,  and  her  earliest  recollections  of  making  a  wish 
are  connected  with  a  children's  party,  when  told  to  do  so  by  an  older 
person,  and  her  wish  was  that  she  be  sent  to  school.  A  few  years 
later  her  wish  was  granted,  when  she  accompanied  her  sister  and  her 
sister's  husband  to  Maine,  where  for  four  years  she  attended  Central 
Institute,  Pittsfield,  Maine,  which  is  the  fitting  school  for  Bates  Col- 
lege. She  then  came  to  Arizona,  where  her  mother  and  brothers 
were,  and  taught  for  two  years  in  the  country  schools  of  Yavapai 
County.  On  March  5,  1890,  she  was  married  to  John  L.  Munds,  a 
young  cattleman,  who,  a  few  years  later,  as  Sheriff  of  Yavapai  Coun- 
ty, became  known  throughout  Arizona  for  his  daring  and  bravery. 
She  is  the  mother  of  three  children.  The  eldest,  William  Harold,  is 
studying  mining  engineering  in  the  University  of  Arizona,  being  a

member  of  the  graduating  class  of  1913,  and  two  daughters,  Sadie 
Grace  and  Mary  Frances.  Mrs.  Munds  became  actively  interested 
in  suffrage  work  in  Arizona  15  years  ago,  and  was  made  secretary 
of  the  first  State  Suffrage  organization,  since  when  she  has  been 
prominent  in  all  the  suffrage  agitation  that  has  been  known  in  the 
State,  which  is  practically  all  that  has  ever  been  done.  She  was  one 
of  the  three  women  who  attended  the  legislature  and  worked  for  the 
passage  of  the  Suffrage  Bill  in  1903,  when  it  was  passed  by  both 
houses,  but  vetoed  by  Governor  Brodie.  This  was  a  blow  that  de- 
moralized the  movement,  but  the  forces  were  soon  reorganized  on  a 
different  plan,  with  a  State  Central  Committee,  of  which  Mrs. 
Munds  was  Chairman.  The  recent  victorious  campaign  was  con- 
ducted entirely  by  the  members  of  this  committee  under  Mrs.  Munds' 
supervision.  Its  entire  cost  was  less  than  $2,200,  which  she  raised 
personally,  several  hundred  dollars  having  been  a  personal  contribu- 
tion. Mrs.  Munds  has  been  asked  to  allow  her  name  to  go  before 
the  people  of  Yavapai  County  for  Senator  at  the  next  election,  and 
received  the  nomination  for  State  Representative  to  the  International 
Woman  Suffrage  Alliance,  in  Budapest,  June  1913,  the  executive  hav- 
ing requested  Governor  Hunt  to  appoint  her  officially.  At  the  close 
of  the  recent  campaign,  when  deluged  by  telegrams  of  congratulation, 
the  two  she  most  values  were  from  her  husband  and  son,  received  be- 
fore it  was  absolutely  known  that  success  had  been  attained.  Her  son, 
William  H.  Munds,  cast  his  first  vote  for  the  triumphant  cause.  Mr. 
John  L.  Munds  is  a  southern  Democrat,  and  Mrs.  Munds  leans 
towards  progressive  Democracy. 

LAURA  GREGG  CANNON,  lecturer  and  organizer  in  the  suffrage 
movement,  is  the  wife  of  Joseph  Cannon,  also  a  well  known  organizer, 
whose  efforts  have  been  devoted  for  years  to  the  interest  of  labor. 
Mrs.  Cannon  came  to  Arizona  three  years  ago,  then  Miss  Laura 
Gregg,  as  representative  of  the  National  American  Woman  Suffrage 
Association  and  special  advocate  of  Woman  Suffrage  in  the  state,  and 
did  her  first  work  in  the  north,  where  she  remained  several  months, 
spending  the  following  summer  in  Tucson.  Mrs.  Cannon  is  a  native 
of  Kansas,  and  was  reared  and  educated  there.  When  very  young  she 
became  deeply  interested  in  the  question  of  suffrage  for  women,  soon 
became  associated  with  the  national  organization,  and  has  developed 
into  one  of  their  most  able  and  interested  workers,  and  without  doubt, 
one  of  the  most  effective  talkers  ever  engaged  in  the  work  or  on  any 
public  platform.  She  is  a  woman  of  rare  charm  and  a  most  pleasing 
personality,  which  coupled  with  her  high  intelligence  and  great  force 
of  character  make  her  a  wonderfully  convincing  speaker,  and  during 
her  stay  in  Arizona,  it  is  generally  conceded,  she  wielded  a  strong  in- 
fluence in  molding  public  sentiment  in  favor  of  her  chosen  theme. 
With  workers  from  various  parts  of  the  state  she  made  an  address 
before  the  Legislature,  and  were  successful  in  securing  what  they

GERTRUDE  HUGHES  WOODWARD,  daughter  of  L.  C.  and  Josephine 
B.  Hughes,  was  born  in  Meadville,  Pa.,  July,  1869,  and  with  her 
mother  came  to  Arizona  in  1872.  At  an  early  age  she  attended  St. 
Joseph's  Academy,  Tucson,  and  later  was  sent  to  Snell's  Seminary  for 

young  ladies  at  Oak- 
land, Cal.  After  two 
years  she  was  entered  in 
Linden  Hall  Seminary, 
a  Moravian  institution 
at  Lititz,  Pa.,  from 
which  she  was  graduat- 
ed in  1888  and  took  a 
post  graduate  course  in 
1889.  She  then  enter- 
ed the  New  England 
Conservatory  of  Music, 
Boston,  and  spent  four 
years  studying  music, 
dramatic  art,  physical 
culture  and  languages. 
Having  been  graduated 
in  1 894  she  was  engag- 
ed as  Professor  of  Dra- 
matic Art,  English, 
History,  and  Physical 
Culture  at  the  Univer- 
sity of  Arizona,  which 
position  she  held  for 
four  years,  the  first  wo- 
man instructor  honored 
by  appointment  as  a 
member  of  the  faculty  of  the  University,  for  which  she  enjoys  as  mark- 
ed a  distinction  as  her  mother,  who  was  the  first  woman  public  school 
teacher  in  the  state,  just  twenty-one  years  previously.  Both  are  ardent 
suffragists.  In  1898  she  married  Professor  Sherman  Woodward,  a 
member  of  the  University  faculty,  who  continued  work  in  Arizona 
for  a  time,  when  he  was  tendered  and  accepted  a  more  advanced  and 
lucrative  position  as  Professor  of  Hydraulics  and  Electric  Engineering 
with  the  University  of  Iowa.  In  1911,  accompanied  by  her  two 
children,  Miriam  and  Ronald,  Mrs.  Woodward  enjoyed  a  year's 
European  trip,  in  which  was  included  the  British  Isles,  principally  as 
an  educational  trip  for  the  children,  who  are  being  trained  for  a  pro- 
fessional life.  Before  and  since  her  majority,  Mrs.  Woodward  has 
been,  like  her  parents,  very  much  interested  in  all  reforms  of  the  20th 
century,  especially  suffrage,  temperance,  and  all  which  tells  for  true 
American  womanhood.

WHO     S      WHO 


MRS.  INEZ  H.  LEE,  member  of  the  Arizona  Equal  Suffrage  Central 
Committee  from  Graham  County,  believes  most  thoroughly  in  Equal 
Rights  to  all,  a  theory  which  has  been  fully  exemplified  in  her  home 
life.  She  is  the  wife  of  David  Lee,  the  proud  mother  of  a  large  and 

happy  family,  and  while  discipline 
and  obedience  are  in  evidence,  the 
family  relationship  is  that  of  com- 
rades rather  than  of  parents  and 
children.  From  her  New  Eng- 
land and  Swiss  parentage  she  in- 
herits a  love  of  liberty  and  free- 
dom, which  she  claims  is  the  herit- 
age of  the  daughter  as  well  as  of 
the  son,  and  with  her  native  tact 
and  energy  she  has  battled  in  the 
face  of  opposition,  and  even  ridi- 
cule, to  aid  in  establishing  that 
equality.  Arizona  should  now  be 
both  proud  and  grateful  for  the 
services  of  such  women  as  she  and 
thankful  to  realize  that  their  la- 
bors have  been  rewarded  in  the 
State.  The  oft  advanced  theory 
that  a  competent  housewife  has  no 
time  for  outside  interests  is  ably 
disputed  in  the  light  of  the  lives  and  examples  of  Mrs.  Lee  and  her 
many  associates. 


ROSA  GOODRICH  BOIDO,  M.  D.,  president  of  the  Equal  Suffrage 
Club  of  Pima  County,  is  particularly  well  known  in  a  professional 
way  and  for  the  work  she  has  done  for  the  benefit  of  the  suffrage  ques- 
tion in  this  vicinity.  Dr.  Boido  was  born  in  Navasota,  Texas,  Febru- 
ary 24,  1870,  and  is  the  daughter  of  Rosa  Meador  and  Briggs  Good- 
rich. Her  father  was  one  of  the  old  time  attorneys  of  Arizona,  having 
come  here  in  1873,  and  was  Attorney  General  for  the  Territory.  He 
practiced  law  in  Tombstone  in  its  prosperous  days  as  a  member  of  the 
firm  of  Goodrich,  Street,  Smith  &  Goodrich.  Dr.  Boido  was  edu- 
cated in  Pacific  Methodist  College,  Santa  Rosa,  Cal.,  and  Cooper 
Medical  College,  San  Francisco,  and  for  some  years  has  been  prac- 
ticing her  profession  in  Tucson.  She  is  examining  physician  for  the 
Maccabees,  Knights  and  Ladies  of  Security  and  Fraternal  Brother- 
hood. The  work  of  the  Suffrage  Club  of  Pima  County  was  carried 
on  largely  by  five  women,  Mrs.  Hughes,  Mrs.  Haskin,  Dr.  Boido, 
Mrs.  Nowell,  and  Dr.  Clara  M.  Schell,  who  felt  that  their  long  and 
earnest  efforts  were  amply  repaid  when  the  right  of  suffrage  was  ac- 
corded the  women  of  Arizona,  in  the  fall  of  1912.  In  addition  to  her

professional  life  and  interest  in  matters  of  public  importance,  Mrs. 
Boido  is  a  homemaker,  and  with  her  husband,  Dr.  Lorenzo  Boido,  a 
practicing  physician,  and  children,  Rosalind  and  Lorenzo,  Jr.,  makes 
her  home  in  Tucson.  Dr.  Boido  is  superintendent  of  Scientific  Tem- 
perance for  the  W.  C.  T.  U.  of  Arizona. 


MRS.  EMMA  B.  COLEMAN,  member  of  the  Arizona  Central  Equal 
Suffrage  Committee,  was  born  in  Illinois,  January  12,  1840,  but  is  one 
of  the  earliest  pioneers  of  Arizona,  and  might  well  be  christened  the 
Mother  of  Suffrage  in  Apache  and  Graham  Counties.  In  the  spring 
of  1888  when  the  first  International  Council  of  Women  was  held  in 
Washington,  D.  C.,  the  call  for  freedom  was  wafted  across  the  arid 
plains  and  rustled  in  the  tall  pines  that  sheltered  her  Alpine  home, 
awray  in  the  mountains  of  Arizona.  That  call  found  an  echo  in  her 
heart,  and  she  responded,  the  first  woman  in  Arizona  to  become  a 
member  of  the  National  Woman  Suffrage  Association.  She  has  since 
been  very  active  for  the  cause,  and  with  good  results,  in  Arizona.

W  H  O      S       WHO 


Mrs.  Coleman  was  a  delegate  from  Graham  County  to  the  Constitu- 
tional Convention  held   in    Phoenix  in   1911,  and  in  connection  with 

delegates  from  other  counties, 
worked  very  hard  to  have  a  Suf- 
frage plank  incorporated  into 
the  Constitution,  but  without 
avail.  She  has  been  a  consistent 
and  earnest  worker  for  the  cause 
of  Equal  Suffrage  all  her  life, 
and  though  many  times  defeat- 
ed, she  has  never,  at  any  time, 
lost  hope,  but  has  continually 
held  to  the  time  honored  motto: 
"It  is  right,  and  right  will  pre- 
vail." She  is  happy  today  In 
the  knowledge  that  her  desires 
have  been  realized  in  Arizona 
and  in  the  cherished  hope  that 
they  will  soon  be  realized  throughout  the  nation.  Mrs.  Coleman  has 
been  a  home-maker  above  all,  and  agrees  that  the  right  of  suf- 
frage shall  not  cause  to  deteriorate  in  the  slightest  degree  either  a 
woman's  femininity  or  her  efficiency  as  a  home  maker  and  mother. 


MRS.  ABBIE  O.  HASKIX,  vice  president  of  the  Equal  Suffrage  Club 
of  Tucson,  and  member  of  the  State  Central  Committee  for  Pima 
County,  has  been  one  of  the  most  persistent  and  devoted  workers  for 
the  cause  of  Suffrage  in  Arizona,  and  in  the  campaign  of  1912,  which 

resulted  so  gloriously  for 
those  interested,  she  was  one 
of  the  few  who  stood  firmly 
by  the  cause.  As  a  member 
of  the  State  Central  Com- 
mittee, Mrs.  Haskin  or- 
ganized the  first  Suffrage 
Club  in  Pima  County,  of 
which  Dr.  Rosa  Boido  was 
elected  first  president.  Mrs. 
Haskin  was  later  elected 
vice  president.  This  club, 
through  the  efforts  of  the 
few,  succeeded  in  develop- 
ing and  crystallizing  the 
suffrage  sentiment  that 
finally  lead  to  success  in 
November,  1912,  at  the 

polls.       Pima  was  one  of  the  counties  which  polled  a  large  majority 
for  equal  suffrage,  and  to  Mrs.  Haskin  and  her  associates  most  of  the

credit  is  due  for  this  victory.  Mrs.  Haskin  has  been  a  resident  of 
Tucson  for  many  years,  having  come  here  from  Iowa,  her  native  State, 
to  accept  a  position  in  the  city  schools.  She  is  the  daughter  of  Thomas 
Howe  and  Charlotte  Spaulding  Canfield,  and  was  born  and  educated 
in  Jones  County,  Iowa.  She  was  married  in  Medeapolis,  Iowa,  and 
came  immediately  to  Tucson.  Mrs.  Haskin  is  now  a  widow.  She 
has  one  daughter,  Mrs.  Charlotte  L.  Stanton.  Mrs.  Haskin  is  an 
active  member  of  Pueblo  Lodge  No.  6,  Maccabees,  and  has  for  years 
been  actively  associated  with  the  w-ork  of  the  W.  C.  T.  U.  in  the 
State,  having  been  especially  interested  during  the  time  when  the  State 
conventions  have  been  held  in  Tucson,  as  she  has  always  been  among 
those  who  attended  to  the  dettail  work  of  the  convention. 


MRS.  RUTH  MAY  NOWELL,  special  newspaper  correspondent  and 
secretary  treasurer  of  the  Pima  County  Equal  Suffrage  League,  is  the 
daughter  of  Colonel  J.  P.  and  Ella  Duffer  Conners,  and  was  born  in 

Clinton,  Mo.,  February  28, 
1889.  Mrs.  Nowell  was  edu- 
cated in  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  and 
at  St.  Vincent's  Academy,  San- 
ta Fe,  N.  M.  Her  father 
was  prominent  in  politics  in 
the  latter  state  and  wras  a  per- 
sonal friend  of  many  of  the 
well  known  public  men  of  the 
state,  among  them  Senators 
Anderson  and  Bursum.  Mrs. 
Nowell  was  very  active  during 
the  recent  campaign  for  suf- 
frage and  was  one  of  the  espec- 
ially hard  workers  for  the  cause 
in  the  final  conflict  whose  ef- 
forts were  effective  in  bringing 
about  the  desired  result.  Her 
husband,  Bailey  Nowell,  was 
connected  with  the  Citizen 
Publishing  Company,  of  Tuc- 
son, for  five  years,  and  they 
made  their  home  in  the  latter 
city  until  recently,  when  they 
removed  to  California,  and  are 
now  located  in  Venice.  They 
have  two  children,  Elmer  and 
Dora  May.  Mrs.  Nowell  is  member  of  the  Daughters  of  the  Revolu- 
tion, Women's  Relief  Corps,  and  the  Ladies  of  the  Maccabees  of  the

Lucy  Terrill   Ellis 


LUCY  TERRILL  ELLIS,  pioneer  kindergartner  of  Arizona,  has  com- 
pleted her  thirteenth  year  in  this  work  in  Phoenix.  Her  school  is  a 
portable  house,  and  during  the  greater  portion  of  the  year  the  work 
is  conducted  in  the  open  air.  Miss  Ellis  is  a  native  of  Missouri, 
where  she  was  educated  and  prepared  for  her  kindergarten  work. 
Her  locating  in  Phoenix  was  a  mere  matter  of  chance,  as  she  came 
here  first  to  visit  relatives,  was  in  a  short  time  submissive  to  the  spell 
of  Arizona's  charms,  and  at  the  suggestion  of  people  who  realized 
the  need  of  such  an  opportunity  as  her  school  presented  to  their  little 
ones,  decided  to  remain  and  engage  in  private  kindergarten  work. 
From  the  beginning,  her  special  qualifications  for  this  work  were 
recognized,  and  her  school  has  been  a  constantly  increasing  success 
and  a  continued  source  of  joy  and  benefit  to  the  little  ones,  whether 
the  children  of  residents  or  tourists,  for  there  have  been  included  on 
her  roll  children  from  almost  every  State  in  the  Union,  and  even

from  London  and  Paris,  who  have  been  brought  to  Phoenix  for  the 
winter  by  their  parents.  Miss  Ellis  is  also  a  writer  of  merit  on 
kindergarten  work,  and  keeps  thoroughly  abreast  of  any  advancement 
made  along  these  lines.  She  has  recently  introduced  the  world- 
famous  Montessori  methods  into  her  school.  She  is  second  vice  presi- 
dent and  associate  editor  of  the  Children's  Book-Shop,  Homecroft 
Hall,  Chicago.  As  charter  member  of  the  Woman's  Club  and 
organizer  and  first  President  of  the  Conservation  Club,  of  Phoenix, 
she  is  very  well  known  in  club  life  in  Arizona.  She  is  State  President 
of  the  Woman's  National  Rivers  and  Harbors  Congress,  and  Chair- 
man of  the  Conservation  Department  of  the  Arizona  Federation  of 
Women's  Clubs,  and  at  the  recent  federation  meeting  in  Douglas  was

Miss  C.  LOUISE  BOEHRINGER,  Superintendent  of  Schools  in  Yuma 
County,  the  only  woman  Superintendent  in  Arizona,  who  is  well 
knowrn  as  an  educator  in  several  States,  was  born  thirty-five  years  ago 
in  Morrison,  Illinois.  Her  parents,  Jacob  and  Louise  Greenawald 
Boehringer,  came  to  America  shortly  after  the  close  of  the  Civil  War. 
They  removed  to  St.  Louis  when  she  was  four  years  old,  where  she 
entered  the  kindergarten  at  the  age  of  five,  and  there  acquired  her  first 
knowledge  of  the  English  language.  She  later  attended  the  public 
schools,  but  as  the  family  returned  to  Illinois  when  she  was  about 
ten,  her  education  was  completed  in  that  State.  Having  been  grad- 
uated from  the  High  School  she  took  a  two  years'  course  at  the  State 
Normal,  at  Normal,  Illinois,  then  a  critic  course  at  the  DeKalb 
Normal,  from  which  •-'he  received  her  diploma  in  1902.  Mean- 
while, however,  she  had  teaching  experience  in  the  rural  and 
grade  schools,  and  has  since  held  various  positions  of  responsibility. 
She  was  Director  of  Normal  Department,  Genessee,  Illinois,  from 
1903  to  1905,  and  in  charge  of  the  Training  School  of  the  State 
Normal  at  Cape  Girardeau,  Missouri,  for  one  year.  While  in  the 
latter  position  the  new  Normal  at  Springfield,  Missouri,  was  opened, 
and  Miss  Boehringer  was  asked  to  organize  and  superintend  the 
Training  School,  which  position  she  accepted  and  filled  for  five  years. 
The  following  year  she  spent  in  study  in  New  York  City,  and  in 
1911  received  a  diploma  in  supervision  from  Teachers'  College,  New 
York,  and  the  B.  S.  degree  from  Columbia  University.  The  next 
year  she  was  Superintendent  of  the  Springfield,  Illinois  Training 
School  for  Teachers,  and  resigned  this  position  to  spend  the  following 
year  with  her  family  in  Yuma.  Miss  Boehringer  has  been  recog- 
nized as  an  authority  in  the  matter  of  courses  of  study  for  children 
for  six  years  by  the  Missouri  State  Department,  and  is  author  of  the 
work  in  literature,  language  and  nature  study  in  the  Missouri  State 
Course  of  Study  for  Rural  and  Village  Schools.  She  has  also  been 
an  active  club  worker  and  member  of  the  most  progressive  clubs  in 
the  various  communities  in  which  she  has  lived,  and  now  holds  mem-

winter.  Miss  Boehringer  has  always  been  interested  in  rural  life 
and  its  problems,  and  five  years  ago  purchased  a  small  ranch  near 
Yuma;  here  she  has  spent  a  part  of  each  year,  and  during  the  past 
year  made  her  home.  She  first  became  identified  with  educational 
work  in  the  county  by  teaching  in  the  rural  schools  and  speaking 
before  the  county  institutes.  When  the  present  recall  election  was 
first  discussed,  Miss  Boehringer  was  approached  by  several  and  asked 
to  become  candidate  for  the  office  of  County  Superintendent.  She 
consented  and  was  the  first  woman  candidate  in  the  field,  but  later 
three  other  women  announced  their  candidacy,  and  the  campaign 
was  an  intense  one.  The  general  feeling  was  that  a  woman  should 
fill  the  position,  because  it  deals  largely  with  young  women,  many  of 
whom  are  far  away  from  home,  and  because  this  was  the  first  oppor- 
tunity to  recognize  woman  in  an  elective  position  since  Arizona 
granted  suffrage  to  its  women.  Miss  Boehringer,  wrhose  unusual 
qualifications  for  the  position  had  been  recognized,  wras  a  popular 
candidate  from  the  beginning,  and  was  elected  by  a  surprising  ma- 
jority. Since  her  election  the  feeling  displayed  toward  her  has 
been  the  most  cordial,  even  by  those  who  voted  for  her  opponents, 
and  many  have  assured  her  of  their  interest  and  support  for  the 
welfare  of  the  schools.  She  has  high  ideals  and  standards  for  the 
schools,  which  are  substantiated  by  her  valuable  experience  in  other 
pioneer  situations.  It  is  her  aim  to  raise  the  office  of  County  Super- 
intendent from  one  that  is  largely  clerical  to  one  that  will  do  con- 
structive work  for  the  schools  of  Yuma  County,  and  so  great  has 
she  has  been  in  office,  no  doubt  is  felt  that  her  strong  personality,  wide 
experience  and  exceptional  ability  will  enable  her  to  thoroughly  de- 
velop her  ideals,  to  the  great  benefit  of  Yuma  County  schools.

courtesy  and  efficiency.  As  Clerk  and  Treasurer  of  the  City  of 
Flagstaff  he  became  thoroughly  well  known,  and  his  reputation  for 
accuracy  was  established  when  he  retired  from  office  and  left  the 
books  in  perfect  order  for  his  successor,  and  by  his  thorough  knowl- 
edge of  property  values,  his  sound  judgment  and  undoubted  integrity, 
he  has  continued  to  merit,  as  County  Assessor,  the  esteem  which  he 
earned  in  former  public  positions.  Mr.  Doyle  has  practically  lived 
his  entire  life  in  his  present  home,  his  father  having  been  a  pioneer  of 
that  region,  and  none  is  better  fitted  than  he  to  fairly  estimate  values 
thereabout.  He  was  married  October  10,  1907,  to  Miss  Pearl 
Miller,  and  they  have  since  made  their  home  in  Flagstaff.

Thomas  P.   Thompson 


THOMAS  P.  THOMPSON,  Assessor  of  Santa  Cruz  County,  was 
born  in  1884  in  Caldwell,  Texas,  was  educated  in  the  public  schools 
of  that  town,  and  had  one  year  in  High  School.  Mr.  Thompson  is 
owner  of  a  fine  ranch  in  the  San  Rafael  Valley,  and  was  for  some 
time  an  active  worker  in  the  State  Assessors'  Association.  He  has 
devoted  a  great  deal  of  study  to  the  matter  of  land  values  and  assess- 
ments, and  has  made  a  number  of  valuable  suggestions  to  the  State 
Association.  He  is,  therefore,  undoubtedly  well  fitted  to  meet  the 
requirements  of  his  office  with  entire  satisfaction  to  the  taxpayers  of 
Santa  Cruz,  and  as  this  is  his  first  political  office  and  he  led  the  ticket 
in  the  County,  he  was  presumably  elected  not  from  political  motives, 
but  because  of  his  peculiar  fitness  for  the  work.  He  thoroughly 
knows  the  county,  as  he  has  been  employed  in  railroad  work  and  been 
engaged  in  business  in  Nogales  before  devoting  his  time  to  ranching. 
Though  a  young  man,  Mr.  Thompson  is  exceptionally  well  informed

and  an  earnest  worker,  and  thus  far  the  results  of  his  efforts  as 
Assessor  of  Santa  Cruz  have  been  most  satisfactory.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  Odd  Fellows.  Mr.  Thompson  was  married  in  Decem- 
ber, 1912. 


GUY  CRITTENDEN  WELCH,  Under  Sheriff  of  Cochise  County,  was 
born  at  Greeley,  Colorado,  April  15,  1879.  He  is  the  son  of  William 
Pringle  and  Threse  Crittenden  Welch.  He  took  the  entire  course 
in  the  common  schools  and  the  freshman  year  at  the  State  Normal 

School  of  Colorado,  at  Greeley. 
After  leaving  the  Normal,  he  was 
employed  for  two  years  in  a  store, 
and  for  a  short  time  with  a  sur- 
veying party.  May  1,  1898,  he 
became  a  member  of  Company  D 
of  the  First  Colorado  Volunteers, 
and  served  until  July  15,  1899. 
He  was  present  at  the  capture  of 
Manila,  and  was  on  detached  ser- 
vice during  the  balance  of  his  term 
through  the  Philippine  campaign. 
After  the  close  of  the  war  Mr. 
Welch  remained  in  Manila,  and 
for  the  next  five  years  was  asso- 
ciated with  the  American  Com- 
mercial Company.  He  was  after- 
wards engaged  in  the  sail  and 
awning  business  for  a  short  time. 
Returning  to  the  United  States  he 
took  a  position  with  the  Union 
Iron  Works  for  a  few  months, 
then  returned  to  Manila  on  the 
transport  Dix  with  a  load  of  live 
stock.  He  went  to  Seattle  in 
June,  1905,  and  was  employed  by  a  lumber  company  in  the  State  of 
Washington  for  a  short  time;  later  in  the  same  year  he  proceeded  to 
Colorado  and  was  with  the  Colorado  Supply  Company  in  the  mer- 
cantile business  for  eight  month* ;  then  he  took  a  course  in  the 
Colorado  University.  In  1907  he  came  to  Arizona  and  was  em- 
ployed by  the  Copper  Queen  Consolidated  Mining  Company  in  the 
mercantile  department  until  1910,  when  he  accepted  a  position  with 
the  Green  Cattle  Company  as  bookkeeper.  In  1911  he  was  promoted 
to  the  superintendency  of  the  company,  in  which  position  he  remained 
until  he  accepted  his  present  appointment  as  Under  Sheriff.  Mr. 
Welch  has  never  taken  an  active  part  in  politics  and  this  is  his  first 
public  office.  He  was  married  March  23,  1912,  to  Miss  Grace 
Winifred  Tarbell,  and  thev  make  their  home  in  Tombstone.

Cornelius  O'Keefe  and   Family 

CORNELIUS  O'KEEFE,  American  Inspector  of  Customs  at  Nogales, 
was  born  in  Ireland,  August  5,  1864.  He  is  the  son  of  John  and 
Margaret  Toomey  O'Keefe.  "Con"  O'Keefe,  as  he  is  familiarly 
known,  came  to  this  country  with  his  father  in  1875,  and  located  in 
Glenns  Falls,  New  York.  In  1880  he  came  to  Arizona,  was  first 
employed  in  the  mines  at  Clifton,  for  a  short  time  in  Tombstone,  and 
then  removed  to  Long  Beach,  California,  where  he  worked  on  the 
Bixby  ranch  for  three  years.  Returning  then  to  Arizona,  he  lived 
successively  in  Yuma,  Prescott  and  Jerome,  having  been  engaged  in 
general  merchandise  business  for  nine  years  in  the  latter  place.  In 
1899  Mr.  O'Keefe  joined  with  George  Mitchell,  Colonel  Greene  and 
William  Adamson  in  the  organization  of  the  Cobre  Grande  Copper 
Company,  of  Cananea,  which  was  finally  merged  with  the  Greene 
Consolidated,  and  was  its  first  general  manager.  He  opposed  the 
merger,  but  a  compromise  was  finally  effected.  He  then  engaged  in 
mining  on  his  own  account  in  the  Altar  District,  Mexico,  but  in  1903 
sold  out  his  interests  to  capitalists  and  removed  to  Nogales.  The 
following  year  he  was  elected  County  Treasurer  on  the  Republican 
ticket,  one  of  the  first  officials  of  Santa  Cruz  elected  on  that  ticket.  In 
June,  1908,  President  Roosevelt  appointed  him  Collector  of  the  Port 
of  Nogales,  and  President  Taft  reappointed  him  in  1912.  His  com- 
mission expires  August  16,  1916.  His  right  to  hold  a  Federal  office 
has  been  questioned  on  the  ground  that  his  father  was  not  a  citizen  of

the  United  States,  but  in  February,  1912,  Attorney  General  Mc- 
Veagh  decided  the  question  in  Mr.  O'Keefe's  favor,  and  his  record 
in  office  is  an  excellent  one.  In  both  official  and  private  life  Mr. 
O'Keefe  is  held  in  high  esteem.  He  was  married  at  Prescott  in 
September,  1894,  to  Miss  Hannah  Shay,  and  to  them  have  been  born 
one  daughter,  Margaret,  and  three  sons,  John,  Charles  and  Cor- 
nelius, Jr.,  all  bright,  energetic,  and  apparently  endowed  with  the 
spirit  of  the  true  Arizonan.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  O'Keefe  are  well  known 
and  highly  esteemed  throughout  Santa  Cruz  County,  both  for  their 
civic  interest  and  as  trustworthy  friends.

Charles   Kreuder 

CHARLES  KREUDER,  manager  of  the  meat  department  of  the 
Arizona  Copper  Company  store,  was  born  in  New  York  City  in 
1865,  and  is  the  son  of  Charles  and  Elizabeth  Kreuder.  He  was 
educated  in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  city,  then  learned  butcher- 
ing and  was  engaged  in  that  business  there  for  a  number  of  years. 
He  has  been  in  Arizona  seventeen  years,  five  of  \vhich  were  spent  in 
Tombstone,  where  he  conducted  a  restaurant  during  its  second  boom- 
ing period,  and  the  last  five  have  been  spent  in  his  present  position 
at  Clifton.  Mr.  Kreuder  is  a  Democrat  in  politics,  but  not  actively 
interested  in  party  workings,  and  fraternally  is  associated  with  the 
Elks,  Knights  of  Pythias,  Loyal  Order  of  Moose,  in  the  latter  order 
being  Dictator  of  the  local  lodge. 


SAMUEL  FRIST,  of  the  firm  of  Bassett  &  Frist,  Douglas,  was  born 
in  Wilmington,  Delaware,  in  1856.  He  is  the  son  of  J.  R.  Frist, 
a  farmer  and  machine  forger  of  Wilmington,  and  a  descendant  of  one 
of  the  pioneer  families  of  the  city.  Mr.  Frist  was  educated  in  the 
public  schools  of  his  native  city,  but  in  every  respect  may  be  called  a 
self-made  man.  On  coming  to  the  West  he  located  in  Oklahoma 
City,  and  there  he  first  engaged  in  the  flour  and  grain  business  in 
1880.  With  Oscar  T.  Bassett  and  his  son,  Charles  N.  Bassett,  he 
has  been  associated  in  business  since  1886.  Mr.  Frist  went  into 


IN      ARIZONA 


Oklahoma  City  on  the  first  train  that  ran  in  from  the  south,  and  was 
one  of  the  pioneers  of  the  city,  the  train  having  entered  the  city  April 
22,  1889.  Some  years  later  he  spent  three  years  in  Los  Angeles 
County,  California,  as  General  Superintendent  in  charge  of  the  gen- 
eral development  of  a  fruit  farm,  and  during  his  residence  there  the 
older  Bassett  died,  and  on  Charles  Bassett's  becoming  of  age  the 
property  was  sold.  Shortly  afterward  the  present  firm  of  Bassett  & 
Frist  was  formed,  and  in  1903  Mr.  Frist  came  to  Douglas  to  take  an 
active  part  in  the  management  of  the  business  of  the  firm,  which  is  one 
of  the  largest  fuel  and  feed  firms  in  the  State.  Mr.  Frist  was  married 
in  Vermillion  County,  Indiana,  to  Miss  Dora  Houghland,  a  native  of 
that  State. 


JOSEPH  P.  GIDEON,  Sheriff  of  Mohave  County,  is  one 
of  the  earliest  pioneers  of  the  state,  having  been  in  Arizona 
forty  years.  A  large  part  of  his  time  has  been  spent  in  the  offi- 
cial life  of  the  state,  as  he  has  served  as  sheriff  a  number  of  times,  as 
well  as  holding  other  positions,  and  his  record  during  that  time  was 
such  that  when  he  made  the  race  for  Sheriff  he  was  elected  by  a  pleas- 
ing majority.  When  he  came  to  Arizona  two  score  years  ago  he  first 
landed  in  Mohave,  and  has  practically  made  this  his  home  since  that 
time,  although  he  has  spent  considerable  time  in  Gila,  Cochise,  Pima, 
Yavapai  and  other  southern  counties.  He  has  always  been  interested 
in  mining.  He  was  born  in  Mississippi  in  1852,  his  parents  being 
Lewis  H.  and  Sarah  M.  Gideon.  He  takes  pride  in  the  civic  develop- 
ment of  the  town  and  state,  is  interested  in  the  fraternal  life,  being 
a  member  of  the  Elks  Lodge,  and  has  made  many  friends  during  the 
years  he  has  spent  in  the  State.  As  an  officer  he  is  fair,  fearless  and 
faithful  to  the  interests  of  his  constituents,  and  those  who  elected  him 
have  reason  for  congratulation  because  of  the  excellent  manner  in 
which  he  has  conducted  the  affairs  of  the  offce. 


J.  W.  MORGAN,  County  Recorder  of  Mohave,  is  one  of  the  earliest 
pioneers  of  the  State,  and  during  his  long  residence  here,  as  well  as  in 
Nevada  and  California,  has  been  interested  in  the  mineral  wealth  of 
the  community  in  which  he  resided.  A  life-long  Democrat,  he  has 
been  a  power  in  the  party  since  he  voted  for  Samuel  J.  Tilden,  the 
first  and  only  president  for  whom  he  cast  a  ballot  until  the  recent 
election,  as  he  has  resided  in  the  Territory  of  Arizona  from  that  year. 
Mr.  Morgan  held  numerous  official  positions,  having  been  County 
Recorder  and  Clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  nearly  a  score  of 
years  ago.  He  also  served  as  Deputy  Sheriff,  Deputy  Recorder  and 
Justice  of  the  Peace  during  the  Territorial  days.  He  was  born  in 
San  Francisco  in  1854.  His  father  Benjamin  Morgan,  was  one  of 
the  forty-niners  of  California,  an  early  prospector  and  miner,  and 
afterward  entered  the  mercantile  business.  His  mother,  formerly

Miss  Eliza  Pritchard,  was  also  a  pioneer  of  that  section.  J.  W. 
Morgan  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  California,  graduated 
from  the  Lincoln  Grammar  School  and  afterward  from  Heald's  Busi- 
ness College.  This,  together  with  a  good  business  training,  made  him 
well  fitted  to  hold  the  positions  to  which  he  has  been  elected.  The 
records  of  the  County  of  Mohave  are  said  to  be  excelled  by  none  in 
the  State,  and  during  the  years  in  which  Joseph  W.  Morgan  has  been 
connected  with  the  office,  are  fully  up  to  the  standard.  No  man  in 
the  State  has  a  wider  acquaintance,  nor  is  there  a  man  more  familiar 
with  the  early  history  of  the  Territory  than  Joseph  Morgan,  who 
lived  in  Globe,  Phoenix,  and  other  large  towns  of  Arizona  during  the 
early  days.  He  is  a  typical  Arizona  pioneer,  having  spent  most  of  his 
life  here,  and  he  intends  to  remain  here  the  rest  of  his  days,  his  inter- 
ests being  in  Mohave  County.  He  is  interested  in  the  Cleopatra 
copper  mine,  in  the  Cerbat  district,  and  also  has  a  number  of  gold 
prospects  in  that  district.  He  was  employed  as  Assistant  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Golden  Gem  for  several  years  in  the  early  days  of  the 
district,  and  later  acquired  some  of  the  valuable  property  of  the  sec- 
tion. Mr.  Morgan  married  Miss  Marian  L.  Terry  in  1894,  and 
they  have  one  son,  Joseph  Terry  Morgan,  at  present  a  student  in  Cali- 
fornia. He  is  a  member  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.  and  a  trustee  of  the 
order. 


THOMAS  DEVINE,  Treasurer  of  Mohave  County,  was  well  quali- 
fied for  the  position  when  he  was  chosen  by  the  voters  of  the  County, 
having  previously  been  Treasurer  of  Coconino  County  before  he  came 
to  the  county  famed  throughout  the  Southwest  as  a  gold  producer. 
When  he  completed  his  term  of  Treasurer  of  Coconino  there  was  not 
a  better  kept  set  of  books  in  the  State,  every  cent  had  been  accounted 
for,  and  the  books  were  arranged  so  as  to  show  at  a  glance  the  county's 
financial  standing.  A  staunch  Democrat  of  the  old  school,  he  was 
elected  in  Coconino,  a  Republican  stronghold,  and  wras  among  the 
leaders,  having  received  a  flattering  majority  at  the  primaries  and 
election.  His  parents,  Thomas  and  Martha  Dobbin  Devine,  both 
came  from  Ireland  and  were  among  the  pioneers  of  Michigan.  Mr. 
Devine  was  born  on  a  farm  in  Michigan  in  1869,  and  was  educated  in 
the  common  schools  of  Kansas,  where  his  family  had  removed  when 
he  was  but  four  years  old.  Having  finished  school  and  spent  several 
years  on  the  Kansas  farm,  young  Devine  started  his  career  as  a  rail- 
road man  with  the  Missouri  Pacific  at  Kansas  City,  later  served  an 
apprenticeship  with  the  Union  Pacific  as  blacksmith,  then  came  to 
Arizona  and  took  a  position  with  the  A.  L.  &  T.  Co.,  at  Flagstaff, 
which  he  held  for  one  year,  when  he  became  brakeman  for  the  com- 
pany on  their  log  train.  Here  he  met  with  an  accident  which  pre- 
vented his  working  for  more  than  a  year,  when  he  took  a  position  with 
the  Flagstaff  Electric  Light  Company.  He  was  then  elected  Treas- 
urer of  the  county  for  two  succeeding  terms,  the  second  time  writh  a

much  larger  majority  than  the  first.  Upon  the  completion  of  his 
second  term  he  moved  to  Mohave  County,  where  he  had  purchased 
tin-  Beale  Hotel,  which  he  has  since  conducted.  Mrs.  Devine  wa> 
Miss  Amy  Ward,  of  Illinois.  They  have  two  sons — Thomas,  Jr., 
and  Andrew,  and  one  daughter — Mrs.  May  Beecher.  Mr.  Devine 
belongs  to  the  Elks,  having  become  a  charter  member  of  Flagstaff 
Lodge,  and  never  transferred. 


Benjamin  Franklin  Hopkins 

BENJAMIN  FRANKLIN  HOPKINS,  the  member  of  the  Board  who 
received  the  highest  vote  of  all  the  candidates  for  that  office,  spent  his 
boyhood  days  in  the  Middle  West.  He  was  born  in  Kansas,  lived 
then  in  Illinois  and  later  in  Missouri,  where  he  was  educated  in  the 
common  schools.  He  has  traveled  extensively  through  the  United 
States,  Canada  and  Al-aska,  and  has  lived  for  a  time  in  Porto  Rico. 
He  has  lived  also  in  California,  where  he  was  engaged  in  the  making 
of  artesian  wells,  and  in  New  Mexico.  For  fourteen  years  he  has 
been  active  in  the  political  life  of  Arizona,  his  first  residence  here 
having  been  Flegstaff.  He  was  born  in  1861,  and  is  the  son  of 
Benjamin  Franklin  and  Cynthia  Ann  Downing  Hopkins.  In  July, 
1904,  he  married  Miss  Ellen  J.  George,  and  they  have  one  son,

ELGIN  B.  HOLT,  President  and  General  Manager  of  the  Cerro  de 
Plata  Mining  Company,  and  Walter  E.  Holt,  Vice  President  and 
Director  of  the  same  Company,  have  exemplified  in  their  careers  the 
indomitable  spirit  of  the  true  Westerner  who  has  a  fixed  purpose  in 
life.  Elgin  B.  Holt  was  born  September  4,  1873,  at  Harrison,  Ark., 
and  Walter  E.,  September  3,  1875,  at  the  same  place.  Their  parents 
were  Isham  R.  and  Lydia  Ryan  Holt.  Their  family  consisted  of 
eight  children,  Alice,  Ernest,  May,  Isham,  Jr.,  Alfred,  Elgin,  \Valter 
and  Valeria,  of  whom  Alfred  and  Ernest  have  passed  to  "that  bourne 
from  which  no  traveler  returns."  In  1879  the  father  took  up  a 
homestead  along  the  San  Francisco  river,  near  Alma,  New  Mexico, 
and  engaged  in  cattle  raising.  They  were  sixty-five  miles  from 
Silver  City,  the  nearest  railroad  point,  and  one  hundred  and  fifty  miles 
from  the  county  seat.  Mr.  Holt  was  an  educated  and  progressive 
man,  who  realized  the  importance  of  giving  his  children  an  education, 
so  they  were  supplied  with  profitable  books,  and  magazines  and  news- 
papers reached  the  home  regularly.  Through  the  efforts  of  Mr. 
Holt  a  school  wras  established  in  the  neighborhood,  and  was  a  rare 
innovation  in  that  isolated  country.  The  family  prospered  and  in 
1892  the  question  of  better  educational  facilities  for  the  younger 
children  presented  itself,  and  in  its  solution  Mr.  Holt  rented  ?  farm 
at  Las  Cruces,  New  Mexico,  for  two  years,  and  with  Mrs.  Holt  and 
the  four  younger  children  removed  there,  in  order  that  they  might 
attend  the  New  Mexico  Agricultural  College.  This  college,  not- 
withstanding its  name,  embraced  in  its  curriculum  many  branches  not 
pertaining  to  agriculture.  Having  completed  the  regular  course, 
Elgin  and  Walter  took  up  the  mining  engineering  course,  from  which 
the  former  was  graduated  in  1897  and  the  latter  in  1899.  After 
Elgin's  graduation  he  and  his  brother  Isham  renred  their  father's 
cattle  business  and  conducted  it  for  six  years,  or  until  they  became 
bankrupt  through  speculating  in  cattle  on  the  ranges.  Elgin  then 
took  a  post-graduate  course  of  three  months  in  assaying  at  the  college 
from  which  he  had  been  graduated,  for  during  all  these  years  his 
purpose  had  been  to  go  ultimately  into  Sonora,  Mexico,  and  explore 
its  mineral  resources.  Ernest  had  become  intrested  in  mining  down 
there  with  others,  and  they  owned  what  was  known  as  the  Santo  Nino 
Copper  Mines  on  the  Yaqui  River.  In  1900  Ernest  was  killed  by  a 
revolver  falling  from  his  cot  to  the  floor  and  exploding.  After  his 
death  the  property  was  turned  over  to  James  Goodman  of  Mistras 
Prietas  as  trustee  for  the  owners.  He  entered  into  an  agreement 
with  Colonel  W.  C.  Greene,  of  Cananea,  whereby,  for  a  controlling 
interest,  the  latter  was  to  finance  the  Santo  Nino  mines.  In  1903  the 
Santo  Nino  proposition  collapsed.  Ernest  Holt  discovered  this 
property.  In  1902  Elgin  went  into  Mexico  to  investigate  the  condi- 
tion of  his  brother's  interests.  He  contracted  coast  fever  at  Guay- 
mas,  returned  to  El  Paso  in  the  winter  of  that  year,  and  hunted  in 
the  Sierra  Madres  for  a  taxidermist  company  until  spring.  In  the

summer  he  worked  in  a  custom  assay  office  at  Douglas.     During  1903 
and   1904  he  served  as  Deputy  Sheriff  of  Cochise  County.       The 
following  April,  while  making  an  arrest,  a  notorious  character,  whom 
he  had  testified  against  in  court,  shot  him  in  the  thigh,  intending  |to 
take  his  life.       After  his  recovery  he  went  back  to  New  Mexico  to 
the  family  home,  wThere  he  recuperated  during  the  following  winter. 
After  Walter's  graduation  in  1899  he  entered  the  United  States  Cus- 
tom Service  as  ore  sampler  at  El  Paso,  Texas.       In  the  spring  of  1905 
he  agreed  to  furnish  Elgin  with  the  money  for  a  prospecting  trip  into 
Sonora,  and  in  June  Elgin  arrived  at  Santa  Ana,  outfitted  and  pro- 
ceeded to  the  Altar  district,  where  he  prospected  for  two  years  and 
made  locations.       In  1907  he  financed  a  property  through  Dr.  P.  J. 
Parker,  of  San  Diego,  California,  and  it  became  known  as  the  Com- 
pania  Silver  Mine.       They  shipped  one  carload  of  ore  from  near  the 
surface,  which  proved  fairly  rich,  but  the  panic  of  1907  caused  the 
mine  to  close  down.       In  1908  Walter  joined  his  brother  and  they 
opened  an  assay  office  at  Magdalena,  in  which  they  were  moderately 
successful.       In  1910  money  was  forthcoming  to  resume  operations 
at  the  mine.       Elgin  took  charge  and  was  allowed  $75  a  month  for 
expenses,  but  no  salary.       The  Holt  Brothers  had  turned  over  all  but 
10  per  cent  of  the  stock  to  the  company.       Contrary  to  the  orders  of 
the  San  Diego  men,  none  of  whom  had  practical  knowledge  of  mining, 
Mr.  Holt,  upon  resumption  of  work,  started  a  tunnel  100  feet  lower 
down  on  the  mountain  side,  through  country  rock,  to  get  to  the  ore 
body.       He  had  figured  that  in  250  feet  he  would  strike  the  main 
ledge,  and  when  within  26  feet  of  that  distance  his  principals  wrote 
that  they  would   furnish  $250,    Mexican   money,    to    complete  the 
tunnel  to  that  point,   upon  condition  that  he  would   relinquish  his 
claim  for  personal  expenses.       He  sent  in  his  resignation,  gave  instruc- 
tions to  the  three  Mexican  miners  to  keep  at  work,  and  left  the  mine. 
Fifteen  days  later  he  concluded  to  return  and  see  howr  the  work  was 
progressing,  and  had  to  walk  twelve  miles,  because  he  had  no  money. 
He  managed  to  subsist  on  the  victuals  which  the  Mexicans  shared 
with  him.       Within  a  few  feet  of  the  distance  he  had  figured  on, 
he  struck  the  vein.       The  head  of  the  company  moved  to  the  mine, 
and  trouble  began  in  earnest.       He  insisted  that  operations  should  be 
conducted  according  to  his  orders,  against  which  Mr.  Holt  protested. 
He  insisted  also  on  taking  out  only  ore  that  was  uncovered  in  the 
course  of  further  development  work,  while  Mr.  Holt  wanted  to  ship 
ore  from  the  rich  vein  already  opened  up,  and  use  the  money  in  the 
vigorous    prosecution    of    exploration  wrork.       However,  Mr.  Holt 
shipped  a  carload  of  ore  taken  from  a  point  away  from  the  rich  lead, 
and  it  proved   unprofitable.       The   President  then  compromised  by 
agreeing  that  the  company  would  furnish  money  for  further  develop- 
ment, and  that  the  Superintendent  should  have  absolute  control  of  the 
work ;    but  the  next  morning  the  same  old  story  was  repeated,  orders 
emanating  from  the  usual  source,  and  Mr.  Holt  resigned.     The  result 


WHO'S    WHO 

was  that  the  mine  \vas  finally  stripped  of  its  rich  ore,  the  money  spent 
in  ill-directed  development  and  the  property  finally  abandoned.  The 
company  had  furnished  only  about  $7000  up  to  the  time  Mr.  Holt 
laid  bare  ore  worth  from  $50,000  to  $60,000.  Thus  Mr.  Holt  lost 
two  years  of  his  time  from  a  financial  standpoint,  but  gained  an  ex- 
perience which  has  since  been  invaluable  to  him.  He  afterwards 
bonded  two  other  properties  to  Boston  people,  and  raised  money  in 
Philadelphia  for  the  development  of  another  mine.  One  of  the 
Boston  people's  mines  looked  good,  and  considerable  smelting  ore  was 
developed.  The  Philadelphians  did  not  have  time  to  prove  their 
property  before  a  series  of  revolutions  began,  and  work  had  to  be 
abandoned  on  all  these  propositions.  After  resigning  from  the  Com- 
pania  mine  superintendency,  Mr.  Holt  returned  to  Magdalena  and 
joined  his  brother  in  the  assay  office,  and  they  took  advantage  of  every 
opportunity  to  keep  posted  on  developments  in  the  mining  regions  of 
Sonora.  One  day  Captain  J.  C.  Besley,  a  well  known  mining 
operator  of  Hermosillo  , dropped  into  the  office,  and  in  the  course  of 
the  next  few  days  he  and  the  Holt  Brothers,  having  a  strong  interest 
in  common,  became  quite  intimate,  and  as  a  result  of  this  intimacy  has 
developed  the  most  interesting  portion  of  this  narrative.  The  prop- 
erty known  as  the  Cerro  de  Plata  mine  is  located  in  the  Magdalena 
district,  Sonora,  46  miles  from  Nogales.  It  was  discovered  in  1906 
by  a  Mexican  vaquero  named  Pedro  Alvares,  whose  horse  fell  while 
chasing  a  steer  up  a  steep  hillside.  In  rising,  the  hoofs  of  the  horse 
broke  into  the  surface  of  the  rocks,  and  the  color  of  the  fractured  stone 
attracted  the  attention  of  the  rider,  who  found,  upon  examination, 
that  it  was  "horn"  silver,  a  rich  chloride  of  that  metal.  Taking  in 
twTo  others,  Alvares  denounced  the  property  and  commenced  work. 
They  took  out  a  small  shipment  of  the -ore,  which  yielded  handsome 
returns  from  the  smelter,  but  having  only  slight  knowledge  of  min- 
eralogy, they  overlooked  some  of  the  richest  rock,  and  threw  over  the 
dump  tons  and  tons  of  the  best  ores.  The  present  management  had 
men  working  many  days  with  burros,  gathering  the  wasted  values, 
and  realized  rich  returns  from  their  shipment.  Not  meeting  with 
much  success  in  their  development,  Alvares  and  his  associates  bonded 
the  property  to  a  California  company,  who  did  not  have  much  better 
results,  and  abandoned  the  property  and  threw  up  their  bond.  Soon 
afterwrard  the  mine  was  sold  through  Captain  Besley,  of  Magdalena. 
to  some  Kentucky  capitalists  for  $25,000  gold.  The  purchasers 
formed  a  Mexican  corporation  and  continued  active  operations  for 
some  months  on  the  strength  of  a  report  made  by  an  expert  Kentucky 
examiner,  who  stated  that  the  mine  was  very  valuable  and  there  \vas 
great  wealth  exposed  from  the  very  grass  roots.  The  first  manager 
•was  inexperienced,  and  after  a  few  months  of  unproductive  effort 
was  replaced  by  another,  who  showed  no  better  returns  for  expenses 
incurred  during  several  months,  and  the  mine  was  shut  do\vn.  An 
eminent  mining  engineer  sent  to  investigate  the  property  during  the 


I  N      A  R  I  Z  O  N  A  633 

mine's  idleness  reported  that  as  a  commercial  proposition  the  property 
was  of  no  value,  although  he  admitted  it  contained  some  good  ore. 
Having  lost  faith  in  it,  after  two  years'  idleness  its  owners  placed  the 
mine  upon  the  market  and  requested  Captain  Besley  to  find  a  pur- 
chaser. After  his  accidental  meeting  with  the  Holt  boys  they  made 
a  careful  examination  of  the  property  and  decided  that  there  was  suffi- 
cient rich  ore  in  sight  to  warrant  their  taking  over  the  property,  which 
they  did  through  Captain  Besley.  About  October  1,  1911,  the  les- 
sees, who  had  associated  with  themselves  Mr.  O.  S.  Bovey  of  Magda- 
lena,  commenced  operations  with  only  the  credit  of  Holt  Brothers  be- 
hind them.  Mr.  Walter  E.  Holt,  being  an  experienced  miner  and 
assayer,  took  charge  of  the  work,  and  within  eighteen  days  the  two 
miners  employed  took  out  the  first  carload  of  ore,  which  assayed  113 
ounces  of  silver  to  the  ton.  The  force  was  slightly  increased,  and 
another  and  larger  carload  was  extracted,  which  assayed  110.6  ounces 
to  the  ton.  Continued  development  and  investigation  disclosed  the 
peculiar  formation  which  had  caused  the  repeated  failures  to  follow 
the  ore  under  former  management,  and  this  knowledge  has  led  to  the 
success  attained  by  the  present  management.  After  some  time  Mr. 
Bovey  sold  his  interest  to  Holt  Brothers,  who  continued  work  and 
met  with  highly  gratifying  success.  In  July,  1912,  they  made  a  deal 
with  Messrs.  Roy  &  Titcomb,  Inc.,  Nogales,  to  build  a  mill  and 
cyanide  plant  for  treatment  of  the  ores,  the  contracting  firm  taking 
an  interest  in  the  enterprise  and  receiving  other  valuable  considera- 
tions. Mine  development  and  ore  shipments  continued  until  thirty- 
one  lots  of  high  grade  ore  had  been  shipped,  mostly  in  carloads, 
aggregating  more  than  1400  tons  and  averaging  117  ounces  of  silver 
to  the  ton.  The  mill  was  started  November  5,  1912,  and  as  a  result 
of  the  first  five  weeks'  run  there  were  shipped  to  the  Selby  Reduction 
&  Refining  Works,  near  San  Francisco,  26,000  ounces  of  fine  silver  in 
fhe  form  of  bars  and  precipitates.  In  one  section  the  ore  found  assays 
as  high  as  150  ounces  to  the  ton.  Indications  at  present  are  that  the 
time  is  not  far  distant  when,  to  realize  the  best  results,  there  will  be 
necessary  an  installation  which  will  handle  an  output  of  100  tons  of 
ore  daily.  The  properties  of  the  Cerro  de  Plata  Mining  Company 
embrace  about  150  acres  of  ground,  and  include  two  denouncements— 
the  Cerro  de  Plata  proper  and  the  Dos  Hermanos.  Since  taking 
over  these  properties  under  bond  and  lease  in  October,  1911,  Holt 
Brothers  have  developed  the  mine,  as  described,  shipped  great  quan- 
tities of  high  grade  ore,  erected  the  mill,  which  is  in  successful  opera- 
tion, and  are  shipping  bullion  and  precipitates.  They  have  paid  the 
Kentucky  owners  the  purchase  price,  and  recently  all  the  shares  in  the 
Cerro  de  Plata  Company  have  been  transferred  to  Holt  Brothers,  who 
have  parcelled  them  among  themselves  and  their  associates.  The 
last  annual  meeting  was  held  in  February,  1913,  and  the  following 
were  elected  directors:  Elgin  B.  Holt,  Walter  E.  Holt,  E.  Titcomb, 
R.  W.  Balch  and  W.  A.  O'Connor.  The  officers  are  as  follows:

deserve  all  the  success  to  which  they  have  attained.  From  Magda- 
lena  to  Nogales  there  is  no  man,  Mexican  or  Amercian,  but  has  a 
kindly  word  for  them.  Their  word  is  considered  as  good  as  their 
bond,  their  credit  is  practically  unlimited  on  either  side  of  the  line, 
and  they  are  still  the  hustling,  hard  working  men  they  were  before 
Dame  Fortune  smiled  upon  them.

GEORGE  JANUEL,  of  Nogale?,  was  born  at  Gaimersheim,  Germany, 
on  April  15,  1879,  and  is  the  son  of  Charles  and  Anna  (Tiefenbock) 
Januel.  He  was  educated  at  Ingelstadt,  to  which  place  his  parents 
moved  when  he  was  a  lad.  George  arrived  in  the  United  States  on 
April  29,  1904,  went  to  St.  Louis  and  remained  there  until  Novem- 
ber of  the  same  year.  He  then  went  to  Houston,  Texas,  but  ip 
April,  1905,  moved  to  Beaumont,  Texas,  where  he  remained  for  two 
years.  He  next  located  in  Nogales,  where  he  has  since  resided. 
The  only  near  relative  Mr.  Januel  now  has  living  is  a  brother,  who 
resides  in  Mexico.  George  is  Past  Chancelor  of  No.  13,  Knights  of 
Pythias,  of  Nogales.  This  young  man  is  of  that  class  of  Germans 
whom  the  people  of  the  United  States  regard  as  among  our  most 
desirable  citizens.  No  man  in  Nogales  is  more  highly  respected  by 
his  acquaintances  than  is  Mr.  Januel.  He  owns  the  leading  barber 
shop  in  the  place,  and  strict  attention  to  business  has  brought  him 
financial  success.  He  gives  employment  to  several  people.  He  has 
in  his  place  of  business  one  of  the  largest  collection  of  antlers  in  the 
State,  one  of  which  has  never  been  classified.  An  intelligent 
and  much  traveled  Englishman  vainly  tried  to  purchase  this  curious 
specimen  of  antlered  creatures,  being  anxious  to  present  the  head  to 
the  English  Museum  of  Natural  History.

WHO     S     WHO 


JAMES  A.  HOWELL,  City  Clerk  and  Treasurer  of  Douglas, 
Arizona,  is  a  native  of  Nevada,  having  been  born  in  White  Pine,  in 
1872.  His  father,  Amazon  C.  Howell,  was  one  of  the  pioneers  of 
that  section,  and  well  known  as  a  cattleman.  His  mother,  Mary  A. 
Tyler  Howell,  came  from  a  well  known  family  of  Missouri.  Before 
assuming  his  present  position,  Mr.  Howell  had  the  benefit  of  a  varied 
experience  as  a  cattleman,  legislator,  banker  and  merchant.  He  first 
came  to  Cochise  County  in  1878,  with  his  parents,  who  engaged  in 
the  cattle  business.  Mr.  Howell  served  one  term  in  the  Territorial 


James  A.  Howell 


Legislature  in  1904  and  1905,  and  then  took  up  banking.  He  has 
served  as  Assistant  Cashier  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Tombstone, 
and  as  Cashier  of  the  Citizens  Bank  of  Benson.  The  latter  was  sold 
to  the  Bank  of  Benson,  and  Mr.  Howell  was  afterward  Manager  of 
the  Turkey  Track  Cattle  Company,  at  Naco,  for  some  time.  He 
went  to  Douglas  in  1908  to  take  the  position  of  Cashier  in  the  Arizona 
Bank  and  Trust  Company,  which  he  held  for  several  years  and  re- 
signed to  take  charge  of  the  San  Bernardino  Market,  of  which  he 
was  then  owner,  but  disposed  of  after  being  elected  to  his  present 
position.  He  is  still  interested  in  the  First  National  Bank  of  Tomb- 
stone and  the  Arizona  Bank  and  Trust  Company,  holding  a  block  of 
stock  in  each.  He  is  also  interested  in  the  cattle  business,  being 
owner  of  a  ranch  and  cattle  in  the  Sulphur  Springs  Valley.  He  is  a 


IN      ARIZONA 


member  of  the  Knights  of  Pythias  and  Moose  Lodges.  In  1904  Mr. 
Howell  was  united  in  marriage  with  Miss  Frankie  J.  Todd,  of  Los 
Angeles,  California,  a  descendant  of  one  of  the  best  known  families 
in  the  State. 

MALCOMB  FRASER,  Secretary  of  the  Prescott  Chamber  of  Com- 
merce, and  Immigration  Commissioner  of  Yavapai  County,  is  one  of 
the  best  known  and  most  capable  publicity  men,  not  only  in  Arizona, 
but  in  the  entire  country.  Mr.  Fraser  was  born  in  San  Francisco 

in  the  middle  seventies,  educated  in 
California,  and  made  his  home  there 
until  ten  years  ago,  when  he  went 
to  London.  During  his  stay  in 
England,  he  was  retained  for  sev- 
eral years  by  the  California  promo- 
tion Committee  of  San  Francisco  as 
their  European  agent.  His  em- 
ployment has  been  principally  in 
newspaper  work,  and  he  has  had  ten 
years'  experience  in  the  editorial  de- 
partments of  newspapers  in  London, 
Eng.,  Omaha,  Neb.,  and  San  Fran- 
cisco. He  came  to  his  present  posi- 
tion in  March,  1911,  from  the  copy 
desk  of  the  San  Francisco  "Evening 
Bulletin."  In  the  comparatively 
short  time  Mr.  Fraser  has  been  Sec- 
retary of  the  Prescott  Chamber  of 
Commerce,  the  city  has  received, 
through  his  articles  on  its  resources, 
a  vast  amount  of  publicity  through- 
out the  United  States,  and  he  has 
taken  a  particular  pride  in  vaunting 
to  "frost-bitten  easterners"  the  advantages  of  Arizona's  marvelous 
climate.  In  the  entire  County  of  Yavapai  the  three  principal 
industries,  mining,  stock-raising  and  agriculture,  have  received  a 
decided  impetus  because  of  his  efforts  to  foster  their  development. 
The  telling  power  in  Mr.  Fraser's  publicity  articles  is  that  while  they 
depict  in  a  most  attractive  manner  the  opportunities  offered  by  the 
climate  and  resources  of  Prescott,  Yavapai  County  or  Arizona  in 
general,  they  are  sane  and  sensible,  such  as  must  appeal  to  the  person 
of  sound  judgment,  and  are,  therefore,  productive  of  the  best  results. 
And  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  has,  in  a  most  substantial  manner, 
shown  its  appreciation  of  the  work  done  by  Mr.  Fraser.  The  recent 
visit  to  Arizona  of  Sir  Gilbert  Parker,  the  noted  author  and  statesman, 
has  accomplished  more  than  any  other  one  incident  of  recent  years  in 
giving  Arizona  world-wide  publicity.  This  visit  was  the  result  of 
Mr.  Fraser's  suggestion  when,  having  read  that  Sir  Gilbert  Parker 


W  HO     S      WHO 


was  on  his  way  to  America  in  search  of  health,  he  telegraphed  to  him 
an  invitation  to  try  the  recuperative  qualities  of  Arizona's  climate,  this 
invitation  having  been  sent  as  a  greeting  on  his  landing  in  New  York. 
It  was  accepted  and  the  results  were  most  gratifying.  Mr.  Eraser 
is  also  seriously  interested  in  the  good  roads  movement,  was  one 
of  the  organizers  of  the  Arizona  Good  Roads  Association  when  per- 
manently organized  in  1911,  and  he  has  since  been  its  Secretary.  He 
was  married  in  London  in  1906.  Mrs.  Eraser  is  a  native  of  Tacoma, 
Washington,  and  is  an  artist  and  writer  of  exceptional  ability.  At 
the  age  of  17  she  was  chief  of  the  art  staff  of  the  "San  Francisco  Post," 
and  some  of  her  posters  made  for  papers  in  that  city  were  sold  at 
exhibitions.  She  subsequently  worked  on  the  "Call"  and  "Bulletin" 
of  that  city  as  special  interviewer,  and  in  London  was  writer  of 
special  signed  articles.  Both  she  and  Mr.  Fraser  are  now  thorough 
Arizonans,  and  the  latter's  statement,  "You  can't  beat  Arizona  the 
world  over,"  should  carry  some  weight,  as  he  is  in  position  to  make 
comparison  with  various  sections. 


THOMAS  HENRY  BATE,  one  of  Arizona's  leading  photographers, 
and  owner  of  the  Bate  Photo  Craft  Shop,  was  born  at  Storm  Lake, 

Iowa,  October  16,  1880.  He 
is  the  son  of  Thomas  Henry 
and  Laura  E.  Lemm  Bate. 
Mr.  Bate  began  business  on 
his  own  account  in  Califor- 
nia in  1897,  but  after  two 
years  removed  to  Arizona 
and  located  in  Prescott, 
where  his  studio  now  is.

HARRY  J.  KARNS  is  the  son  of  Samuel  D.  and  May  B.  Karns,  and 
was  born  in  Jamestown,  N.  Y.,  May  17,  1880.  Their  three  other 
sons,  Charles  D.,  Robert  H.  and  William  Elliott,  are  all  residents 
of  Santa  Cruz  County.  The  story  of  Harry  Karns'  life,  if  written 

in  detail,  would  be 
reple'.e  with  pathos, 
tragedy  and  romance  ; 
the  visitation  of  a  ter- 
rible accident  befallen 
a  bright  and  ambitious 
young  man,  disfiguring 
him  for  life,  nearly 
causing  the  loss  of  his 
sight,  and  even  his  life; 
the  fidelity  of  Miss 
Mollie  I.  Nash,  who 
refused  to  be  released 
from  her  engagement 
to  marry  him,  but 
helped  nurse  him  back 
to  health  ;  the  loss  of 
his  every  dollar,  and 
the  building  up  of  a 
modest  fortune  in  a 
few  years  by  one  so 
handicapped.  The  fam- 
ily moved  to  Kansas 
when  Harry  was  but 
one  year  old,  and  in 
1888  they  moved  to 
Denver,  where  they 
made  their  home  until 
1892,  and  removed  to 
Pittsburgh.  In  the  lat- 
ter city  Harry  attend- 
ed school  until  1897,  then  engaged  in  the  oil  business  in  West  Virginia 
with  his  father.  In  1899  he  went  to  Wellsville,  Ohio,  and  after 
two  week?  a  flowing  well  caught  fire  and  he  was  enveloped  in  the 
flames.  He  was  burned  almost  beyond  recognition,  was  hurried  to 
his  home  in  Pittsburgh,  and  for  weeks  hovered  between  life  and  death. 
As  a  result  of  this  accidert  he  was  confined  to  bed  for  six  months,  and 
for  one  year  was  unable  to  perform  any  work.  When  able,  he  was 
taken  to  the  Hospital  at  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  Philadelphia, 
where  a  partially  successful  operation  was  performed  on  his  eyes.  On 
December  21,  1900,  Mr.  Karns  and  Miss  Nash  were  married,  and 
two  beautiful  children  have  blessed  their  union.  In  March,  190; , 
Mr.  Karns  secured  employment  with  the  Pipe  Line  Division  of  the

Standard  Oil  Company  at  Cygnet,  Ohio,  and  in  1903  resigned  to 
accept  a  position  in  Chicago  with  the  Cudahys  as  leaser  of  ground, 
but  before  the  expiration  of  a  year  removed  to  Kentucky,  where  he 
operated  and  contracted  for  himself  in  the  oil  fields  until  1906.  He 
then  went  to  Goldfield,  Nevada,  where  he  met  with  a  fair  degree  of 
success,  and  in  1907  located  in  Nogales.  With  R.  H.  McCray  he 
built  the  Myra  mill,  twenty  miles  from  Nogales,  on  the  Mexican 
side,  for  the  purpose  of  working  50,000  tons  of  ore  on  the  dumps, 
and  because  the  mill  was  not  ready  on  the  day  stipulated,  suit  was 
instituted  against  them.  Under  a  peculiar  interpretation  of  the  Mex- 
ican laws,  they  lost  the  suit,  of  which  the  judge  informed  them  prior 
to  the  handing  down  of  his  decision.  He  added  that  the  plaintiff 
would  pay  all  costs,  including  fees  of  defendants'  counsel,  if  they 
would  agree  not  to  appeal  the  case,  and  being  without  funds,  defend- 
ants accepted  the  offer.  Having  nothing  left  but  an  old  two- 
cylinder  automobile,  Mr.  Karns  put  this  in  public  service,  and  this 
formed  the  nucleus  about  which  was  formed  the  present  business  of 
Karns  Brothers,  contractors,  dealers  in  automobiles  and  accessories, 
and  specialists  in  machinery  and  petroleum  products.  The  most 
important  contract  yet  undertaken  by  the  firm  was  the  water  plant  for 
the  town  of  Nogales,  which  they  completed  at  a  contract  price  of 
$52,000.  Mr.  Karns  is  a  member  of  the  Democratic  County  Cen-

W.  H.  CLARK  was  born  at  Cheshire  Harbor,  Massachusetts, 
August  22,  1859,  was  reared  and  educated  in  the  States  of  Massachu- 
setts, Connecticut  and  New  York.  In  the  early  70's  his  father  served 
two  terms  as  sheriff  of  Rensselaer  County,  New  York.  In  1876 

Mr.  Clark  left  the  family  home  in 
New  York  for  Connecticut,  where 
for  more  than  a  year  he  was  con- 
nected with  a  small  country  news- 
paper. In  1878,  when  attacked  by 
wanderlust,  he  started  on  a  trip  West, 
stopped  a  while  at  St.  Louis,  and 
thereafter  traveled  with  pack  outfit 
through  western  Kansas,  Colorado, 
New  Mexico  and  northern  Arizona, 
to  the  Gila  Valley,  thence  out  through 
Silver  City,  New  Mexico,  and  re- 
turned to  the  East.  After  spending 
a  year,  in  the  spirit  of  adventure,  on 
freighting  schooners  on  Long  Island 
Sound,  he  tired  of  the  sailor's  life, 
and  on  December  18,  1880,  went  to 
New  York  and  enlisted  in  the  United 
States  cavalry,  served  full  five  years, 
and  was  honorably  discharged  at  Fort 

Apache,  Arizona,  in  December,  1885.  In  June,  1884,  at  Wingate, 
New  Mexico,  he  married  Miss  Augusta  M.  Schulz,  of  Pottsville,  Pa. 
As  a  member  of  Troop  K,  Fourth  Cavalry,  under  Colonel  R.  S.  Mc- 
Kenzie  and  Colonel  William  Royal,  he  was  in  the  campaigns  against 
the  Utes  in  Colorado  and  Utah,  the  Cibicu  outbreak  in  Arizona,  after 
the  killing  of  Captain  Hendig  and  troops  on  the  Cibicu  Creek,  in  the 
Apache  Reservation,  and  through  a  portion  of  the  Geronimo  cam- 
paign. After  being  discharged  from  the  army  he  proceeded  to  Mas^a- 
chusetts  with  his  wife,  but  after  three  years  returned  to  Arizona,  lo- 
cated at  Holbrook,  where  they  have  since  lived,  and  where  they  con- 
ducted a  hotel  until  1909.  During  these  years  Mr.  Clark  has  also 
been  operating  various  other  lines  of  business,  such  as  merchandise, 
general  agency,  brokerage  and  commission,  and  government  contract- 
ing, and  at  the  present  time  is  operating  in  real  estate,  land  scrip, 
cattle,  sheep  and  ranches.  During  the  last  two  years  Mr.  Clark  has 
been  Commissioner  of  Immigration  for  Navajo  County.  He  has 
always  taken  an  active  interest  in  the  Republican  politics  of  the  Terri- 
tory and  County,  and  has  been  a  member  of  the  Central  Committee 
continuously  since  1890.  In  1900  he  was  an  active  alternate  delegate 
to  the  Republican  National  Convention  in  Philadelphia.  In  191] 
Mr.  Clark  promoted  the  Navajo  Development  Company,  a  holding 
company  with  a  capital  of  $5,000,000,  the  members  of  which  have 
since  incorporated  the  Navajo  Southern  Railway  Company,  to  build

seventy-five  miles  of  common  carrier  railroad,  which  has  a  capital  of 
53,500,000;  and  the  Navajo  Lumber  &  Timber  Company,  with  a 
capital  of  52, .^00. 000;  and  it  is  confidently  expected  that  within  two 
years  these  companies  will  be  operating  under  the  largest  timber  con- 
tracts that  the  United  States  government  has  ever  awarded.  These 
corporations  have  completed  their  surveys,  put  up  their  bonds  with  the 
government,  paid  a  deposit  on  the  timber,  and  not  one  dollar's  worth 
of  stock  in  the  enterprise  has  been  sold.  Mr.  Clark  is  secretary  of 
each  of  these  companies,  and  has  been  the  leading  spirit  in  the  organ- 
ization and  work  of  all  of  them.  His  years  in  politics,  in  helping 
select  men  for  various  offces,  and  his  active  interest  in  everything  for 
the  benefit  of  the  State  and  County,  have  given  him  a  wonderful 
insight  into  conditions  throughout  the  State,  of  the  possibilities  to  he 
developed  therein,  have  made  him  a  keen  judge  of  men  and  aiiairs, 
and  one  of  Arizona's  most  valuable  and  highly  esteemed  citizens.  He 
is  a  charter  member  of  Winslow  Lodge,  Xo.  536,  B.  P.  O.  E. 


HENRY  MEADE  WOODS,  Manager  of  the  Calumet-Copper  Creek 
Mining  Company,  at  Winkelman,  first  came  to  Arizona  in  1882. 
Born  at  Lowell,  Vermont,  April  26,  I860,  he  was  educated  first 
in  the  public  schools,  and  was  graduated  from  the  University  of  Ver- 
mont with  the  class  of  1880.  He  was  later  graduated  from  the 
Chicago  School  of  Law.  He  came  to  this  State  as  the  representative 
here  of  the  Santa  Fe  Railroad,  and  remained  for  several  years.  He 
went  to  Guthrie,  Oklahoma,  in  1893,  as  editor  and  publisher  of  the 
Oklahoma  Medical  Journal,  The  Baptist  Visitor  and  The  Plymouth 
Herald.  In  1904  he  returned  to  Arizona,  this  time  as  representative 
of  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad.  Mr.  Wood  is  a  member  of  one  of 
the  early  time  families,  widely  knowrn  in  Vermont,  whose  history  is 
closely  associated  with  that  of  the  State,  two  of  his  collateral  ances- 
tors on  his  mother's  side,  Asabel  Peck  and  John  W.  Meade,  having 
been  Governors  of  the  State.  His  mother's  brother,  Honorable 
Cornelius  S.  Palmer,  is  now  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Special  Pleas  in 
Vermont.  In  1881  Mr.  Palmer  was  Chief  Justice  of  South  Dakota, 
through  appointment  made  by  President  Garfield.  Mr.  Woods' 
father,  Edwin  Woods,  together  with  his  brothers,  Samuel,  of  Lodi, 
and  Horace,  of  Modoc  County,  California,  were  original  argonauts 
of  '49,  the  latter  two  never  having  returned  to  Vermont,  but  re- 
mained in  California,  where  they  acquired  wealth  and  reared  families. 
Their  daughters,  grand  children  and  great  grand  children  are  now 
native  sons  and  daughters  of  California  and  Arizona.  Mr.  Woods 
was  happily  married  October  13,  1884,  to  Miss  Emma  Bodge  Peck, 
and  they  have  three  sons,  William  Edwin,  Walter  Foss  and  Lugene 
Peck.  William  Edwin  Woods  is  General  Manager  of  the  "Mid-

now  controlling  McClure's  Magazine,  and  originators  of  Boyce's 
Weeklies.  Though  a  man  of  intense  public  spirit,  with  a  keen 
interest  in  matters  of  local  or  State  advancement,  Mr.  Woods'  busi- 
ness connections  have  been  such  that  he  has  not  found  it  feasible  to 
take  much  active  part  in  affairs  as  office  holder.  He  served  one  term 
as  Justice  in  Gila  County,  but  was  obliged  to  decline  the  candidacy 
for  delegate  to  the  Constitutional  Convention.  He  has,  however, 
exercised  much  influence  in  the  upbuilding  of  educational  advantages 
and  of  churches  in  Arizona.  He  was  State  President  of  the  Amer- 
ican Protective  Association  for  Kansas  in  1894,  and  made  a  campaign 
of  the  State  as  candidate  for  Railroad  Commissioner  in  1895.  Mr. 
Woods  is  also  a  member  of  the  National  Geographic  Society,  and  a 
special  authority  on  the  Apache  Indians;  an  officer  of  the  Woodmen, 
and  was  a  Phi  Delta  Theta  of  the  University  of  Vermont,  class  of 
1880.  He  is  owner  of  the  Intervale  Farm,  in  Graham  County,  of 
much  property  in  Winkelman,  and  through  the  Ray  fire  of  June, 
1912,  lost  a  large  and  valuable  block  of  property  in  that  town.  A 
busy  man,  with  varied  interests,  both  corporation  and  personal,  re- 
quiring close  attention,  Mr.  Woods  has  yet  found  time  to  do  much

prior  to  the  late  Republican  convention  in  Chicago,  Mr.  Woods  was

F.  M.  LAYTON,  Treasurer  and  Tax  Collector  of  Graham  County, 
was  born  in  Kaysville,  Utah,  in  1876,  his  parents  being  Christopher 
Jr.  and  Jane  E.  Bodily  Layton,  both  of  whom  still  reside  on  the  old 
homestead.  After  having  completed  the  public  school  course,  Mr. 
Layton  took  a  short  course  at  the  University  of  Utah,  after  which 
he  was  associated  with  the  Barnes  Banking  Company  at  Kaysville 
until  he  came  to  Arizona.  Here  he  took  a  position  with  Layton, 
Allred  &  Co.,  and  worked  in  the  stores  of  this  firm  both  at  Thatcher 
and  Clifton.  He  was  also  employed  by  the  Shannon  Copper  Com- 
pany for  two  years  and  made  an  excellent  record.  He  was  nomi- 
nated by  the  Republican  party  and  overcame  a  normal  Democratic 
majority  of  about  six  hundred,  being  one  of  the  three  Republicans 
elected  in  the  County.  Mr.  Layton,  owing  to  his  having  been  elected 
in  Graham  County,  is  considered  one  of  the  strongest  factors  of  his 
party,  and  inasmuch  as  he  is  a  young  man  his  friends  expect  that  he 
will  become  a  prominent  figure  in  State  politics.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints,  and  has  spent  two 
years  as  missionary  in  Colorado.  He  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss 
Emma  D.  Ellsworth,  third  daughter  of  James  H.  Ellsworth  of  Saf- 
ford,  who  is  one  of  the  best  known  pioneers  of  Graham  County,  and 
to  the  union  have  been  born  four  daughters,  Emma,  Thelma,  Zella 
and  Maggie. 


WILLIAM  E.  BROOKS,  Representative  from  Gila  County,  was  born 
in  Lee  County,  Alabama.  He  was  graduated  from  Yale  University 
in  1897,  and  served  as  a  soldier  during  the  Spanish-American  war. 
He  was  been  a  resident  of  Arizona  since  1903,  and  has  made  his  home 
in  both  Graham  and  Gila  Counties,  where  he  has  been  connected 
with  mining  enterprises.  In  the  campaign  of  1910  Mr.  Brooks  was 
very  active  in  support  of  the  principles  of  the  initiative,  referendum, 
recall  and  direct  primary,  and  was  a  member  of  the  convention  that 
chose  delegates  to  the  Constitutional  Convention.  He  was  elected  to 
the  First  State  Legislature,  and  in  the  regular  session  was  Chairman 
of  the  Committee  on  Appropriations.  He  opposed  extravagance  in 
the  State  departments,  but  voted  for  appropriations  to  enable  the 
various  departments  to  properly  perform  the  duties  for  which  they 
are  maintained.  He  has  steadfastly  advocated  liberal  appropriations 
for  the  maintenance  and  improvement  of  Arizona's  educational  insti- 
tutions, and  has  worked  earnestly  for  free  text  books  in  the  public 
schools  and  for  a  limitation  of  the  hours  of  working  women.  Thor- 
oughly realizing  that  Arizona's  public  domain  must  not  be  squandered, 
he  believes  that  liberal  terms  should  be  given  to  bona  fide  settlers,  and 
is  an  advocate  of  the  early  opening  of  the  great  reservations  that  are 
keeping  in  idleness  great  tracts  of  land  that  should  serve  as  homes  for 
the  citizens  of  Arizona.

John   T.    Dunlap 

JOHN  T.  DUNLAP,  ex-mayor  of  the  City  of  Phoenix,  and  one  of  its 
well  known  real  estate  dealers,  was  born  in  Haynesville,  Illinois,  but 
until  his  coming  to  Arizona  sixteen  years  ago,  spent  practically  his  en- 
tire life  in  Missouri,  where  the  family  had  removed  when  he  was 
but  three  weeks  old.  His  parents,  David  and  Martha  Mclnnes  Dun- 
lap,  were  both  reared  and  educated  in  Philadelphia,  were  married 
there,  and  then  removed  to  Illinois.  Having  grown  to  manhood,  John 
T.  Dunlap  became  associated  with  the  business  life  of  Kansas  City 
and  for  eight  years  was  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Staley  &  Dunlap,  but 
owing  to  illness,  disposed  of  his  business  interests  and  came  to  Phoenix 
in  1896.  Mr.  Dunlap  still  has  in  his  possession  a  farm  in  Clay  county, 
Mo.,  which  was  purchased  with  the  first  money  he  earned,  when  a  boy. 
On  coming  to  Phoenix  he  immediately  entered  the  real  estate  busi- 
ness, in  which  he  has  attained  great  success  and  a  reputation  for  fair 
dealing  which  places  him  in  the  first  ranks  among  realty  operators  in 
the  city.  Mr.  Dunlap  is  a  Democrat  and  soon  after  locating  in

Phoenix  became  interested  in  local  politics.  The  party  chose  him 
several  times  as  their  representative  in  the  Council  from  the  Third 
Ward,  and  once  as  Mayor.  Business  demands,  however,  were  grad- 
ually requiring  more  of  his  time  and  attention,  and  it  soon  seemed 
advisable  to  devote  his  energies  solely  toward  that  end,  which  necessi- 
tated his  withdrawal  from  any  active  interest  in  city  or  political  mat- 
ters. His  influence  in  a  quiet  way  has  continued  to  aid  in  civic  im- 
provement and  has  been  of  no  little  importance  in  shaping  the  history 
of  the  city  for  almost  a  score  of  years.  In  1912  Governor  Hunt  ap- 
pointed Mr.  Dunlap  a  member  of  the  Commission  to  select  a  site  for 
the  Industrial  School,  the  other  members  of  the  commission  named 
being  John  J.  Hawkins,  ex-Justice  of  the  Supreme  Court,  and  Loren 
Felix  Vaughn,  Esq.,  of  Phoenix.  Their  selection  of  the  Old  Fort 
Grant  site  in  Graham  county  was  considered  an  admirable  one  for 
the  purpose.  Fraternally  Mr.  Dunlap  is  associated  with  the  Knights 
of  Columbus,  B.  P.  O.  E.,  Royal  League,  and  Knights  of  Pythias. 


FRANK  W.  ROGERS,  State  Game  Warden,  was  appointed  to  this 
position  by  Governor  Hunt  on  January  28,  1913.  Mr.  Rogers  was 
born  in  the  Province  of  Ontario,  Canada,  in  1867,  and  came  to  the 
United  States  in  1881.  He  has  been  practically  self-educated,  his 
school  advantages  having  been  limited,  but  he  has  gleaned  much  from 
experience  and  observation  in  the  course  of  his  life  work  that  has 
been  a  valuable  substitute  for  the  opportunities  usually  afforded 
youth  in  our  country.  His  career  has  been  varied,  as  he  first  began 
work  as  a  farmer  boy,  was  later  employed  on  a  street  railway  and  in 
several  other  capacities  until  he  accepted  a  position  as  curator  of 
the  entire  collection  in  the  Zoological  Gardens  in  Rochester, 
New  York,  which  he  held  for  three  years,  during  which 
their  bird  collection  increased  very  materially.  He  met  with 
especial  success  in  rearing  birds  from  the  nest,  and  reared 
many  varieties  which  it  was  said  were  impossible  to  rear  in  cap- 
tivity. He  was  afterward  temporarily  in  charge  of  the  wonderful 
aviary  belonging  to  Mrs.  Thompson,  of  Canandaigua,  New  York, 
and  when  he  left  her  collection  numbered  5,000.  He  was  also 
employed  for  two  years  in  New  York  by  the  State  Zoological  Society, 
and  for  the  past  four  years  has  been  collecting  live  birds,  rodents  and 
reptiles  for  the  latter  society.  Mr.  Rogers  has  been  a  resident  of 
Arizona  but  six  years,  two  of  which  he  spent  in  the  Verde  Valley, 
studying  and  making  a  collection  of  the  birds  of  that  vicinity.  Dur- 
ing the  last  winter  Mr.  Rogers  was  in  the  Verde  Valley  he  con- 
ducted a  "free  lunch  counter"  or  "bread  line"  for  the  birds  and 
animals,  and  his  regular  patrons  numbered  more  than  two  hundred. 
During  the  State  Fair  of  1912  Mr.  Rogers  had  an  excellent  educa- 
tional exhibit,  and  at  the  fair  next  fall  he  expects  to  have  a  much 
larger  one,  the  one  last  year  having  attracted  so  much  attention  that 


W  110     S      \V  H  O 


Frank   W.   Rogers 


the  commissioners  have  decided  to  help  defray  expenses  of  another. 
He  is  a  son  of  E.  J.  and  Susan  V.  Rogers,  and  a  descendant  of  a 
prominent  old  New  England  family. 


JOHN  C.  POTTS,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Mohave 
County,  is  a  pioneer  of  Arizona,  having  been  a  resident  of  the  State 
more  than  forty  years.  He  was  born  in  Bedford  County,  Pennsylvania, 
and  though  now  in  his  seventy-fifth  year,  is  exceedingly  active. 
With  his  parents,  John  W.  and  Elizabeth  Coyle  Potts,  he  moved  to 
Iowa  the  year  the  State  was  admitted  to  the  Union.  It  was  then 
necessary  to  go  35  miles  to  the  postoffice  and  there  were  no  stage  lines 
at  the  time  in  that  vicinity.  It  is  unnecessary  to  state  that  educa- 
tional advantages  were  meagre.  At  the  beginning  of  the  Civil  War 
Mr.  Potts  was  a  resident  of  Nebraska  and  enlisted  in  the  First  Ne- 
braska Cavalry,  in  which  he  served  three  years  and  three  months,  and 
when  mustered  out  was  Captain.  In  1866  he  was  at  Fort  Phil  Kear- 
ney, and  left  a  month  before  the  massacre,  in  which  93  lives  were  lost. 
He  came  to  Arizona  in  1869,  having  lived  meantime,  in  addition  to 
the  States  mentioned,  in  Wyoming,  Colorado,  New  Mexico  and  Da- 
kota. He  lived  in  Prescott  before  it  became  Territorial  Capital,  and

John  C  .Potts 

after  three  years  removed  to  Mohave  County,  which  has  since  been 
his  home.  He  has  been  actively  identified  with  the  official  life  of  the 
County,  having  been  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  1873, 
when  the  County  Seat  was  at  Hardyville,  and  there  was  no  court 
house.  He  has  also  served  as  Deputy  Sheriff  and  two  terms  as  Sheriff. 
Mr.  Potts  has  always  been  interested  in  the  mining  development  of 
the  State,  and  at  present  is  interested  in  a  number  of  properties  in 
Mohave  County,  the  most  promising  of  which  are  the  Thumb  Butte 
Group,  several  miles  north  of  the  Gold  Road  Mine.  He  i?  a  charter 
member  of  the  first  Knights  of  Pythias  lodge  organized  in  the  state, 
No.  1  of  Prescott.  He  takes  much  interest  in  the  general  welfare  of 
the  community,  and  has  always  been  active  in  civic  improvement. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  G.  A.  R.  of  Phoenix,  is  especially  interested  in 
the  old  soldiers  of  the  State,  and  has  been  instrumental  in  securing 
stones  for  the  graves  of  those  who  died  in  Mohave  County.  Mr. 
Potts'  great  ambition  is  to  see  a  new  court  house  erected  during  his 
present  term,  and  if  this  aim  be  accomplished,  he  feels  he  will  be 
readv  to  retire  from  official  life.

WILLIAM  WILSON  PACE,  Senator  from  Graham  County,  was  born 
in  Spanish  Fork,  Utah,  in  June,  1857.  He  is  son  of  W.  D.  and 
Anne  Maria  Redd  Pace,  and  descendant  of  the  Pace  family  that  dates 
back  in  this  country  to  Revolutionary  times,  his  great  grandfather 
having  given  his  life  for  his  country  at  the  Battle  of  Bunker  Hill. 
The  Pace  family  is  also  numbered  among  the  oldest  in  the  West,  hav- 
ing come  West  in  1849,  when  the  Senator's  father,  then  a  boy  of 
fifteen,  walked  from  the  Mississippi  River  to  Los  Angeles,  and  spent 
Christmas  Day  in  Tucson.  Although  his  early  educational  advan- 
tages were  meagre,  in  comparison  with  those  of  the  youth  of  today 
in  actual  school  work,  Senator  Pace  has  had  the  advantages  gained 
from  extensive  travel  both  in  this  country  and  abroad,  and  this,  to- 
gether with  his  exceptional  native  ability  and  good  common  sense 
marks  him  as  a  man  of  worth.  Senator  Pace  is  serving  his  fourth 
term  in  the  Legislature,  and  is  member  of  the  most  important  com- 
mittees, being  on  the  Appropriations,  Corporations,  Judiciary,  Finance, 
Public  Lands,  Educational  and  Public  Institutions,  Suffrage  and  Elec- 
tions Committees,  and  is  Chairman  of  the  State  Accounting  and 
Methods  of  Business  Committee.  He  is  Vice  President  and  Gen- 
eral Manager  of  the  Thatcher  Implement  Company,  with  which  his 
sons  are  also  associated,  and  during  his  absence  in  attendance  at  the 
sessions  of  the  Legislature,  they  attend  to  the  business  of  the  company. 
Senator  Pace  was  married  in  January,  1878,  to  Miss  Catherine 
Raul  in,  and  one  year  later  they  came  to  Arizona,  which  has  since 
been  their  home.  They  are  the  parents  of  eight  children,  six  sons 
and  two  daughters. 


A.  A.  MOORE,  Representative  from  Yavapai  County,  is  the  oldest 
member  of  the  House,  and  was  born  in  Ohio  in  1834.  He  was  edu- 
cated in  the  public  schools  and  lived  in  Ohio  until  1858,  when  he 
removed  to  Kansas.  When  Marion  County,  Kansas,  was  organized, 
Mr.  Moore  was  one  of  its  first  Representatives  in  the  Legislature,  and 
was  re-elected  to  succeed  himself.  During  his  residence  in  Kansas  he 
was  engaged  as  rancher  and  Indian  trader.  In  1876  he  came  to 
Arizona,  and  for  some  years  resided  in  Prescott,  during  which  he  was 
member  of  the  City  Council  four  years.  Mr.  Moore's  home  at  pres- 
ent is  on  a  fine  ranch  at  Walnut  Grove,  where  he  is  interested  in 
farming,  mining  and  stock  raising.  During  his  residence  in  Yavapai 
Mr.  Moore  has  held  numerous  positions  of  trust  and  honor.  He  was 
one  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  four  years,  two  of  which  he  was 
Chairman;  in  1898  he  was  a  member  of  the  Legislative  Assembly, 
and  in  1910  was  delegate  to  the  Constitutional  Convention.  In 
1911  the  Democratic  party  again  honored  him  by  electing  him  to  the 
House  in  the  First  State  Legislature,  and  at  this  election  he  received 
the  highest  vote  of  the  Yavapai  candidates  for  the  House  of  Repre- 
sentatives. In  the  sessions  he  has  proven  an  earnest  worker  and  has 
served  on  the  following  committees:  Public  Lands,  Public  Health

and  Statistics,  Live  Stock,  and  Agriculture  and  Irrigation.  For  the 
past  quarter  of  a  century  Mr.  Moore  has  been  an  active  member  of 
the  Democratic  Central  Committee  of  Yavapai  County,  and  despite 
the  fact  that  he  is  Hearing  the  age  of  fourscore  yeais,  he  is  a  remark- 
ably well  preserved  man,  and  in  appearance  and  bearing  would  pass 
for  three  score. 


J.  AI.  BALI.,  one  of  the  Cochise  County  delegation  in  the  First 
State  Legislature,  and  one  of  the  best  equipped  pharmacists  in  the 
State,  has  proven  an  able  worker  in  the  lower  house  lor  any  cause 
which  he  champions.  Mr.  Ball  is  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Ball  & 
Bledsoe,  the  leading  druggists  of  Bisbee,  and  is  thoroughly  conversant 
with  the  requirements  and  details  of  the  drug  business.  His 
father,  Willis  T.  Ball,  was  a  druggist  in  Jeddo,  Missouri,  where  J. 
M.  Ball  was  born  in  18t>9,  and  was  educated  in  the  public  schools. 
Having  finished  the  course  there  he  took  first  an  academic  and  later 
a  special  course  in  pharmacy  at  the  University  of  Missouri,  Columbia, 
Missouri.  He  has  since  been  engaged  in  the  compounding  of  drugs, 
has,  in  fact,  been  in  the  drug  business  all  his  life.  On  coming  to 
Arizona,  in  1898,  he  held  a  position  as  pharmacist  for  a  time,  but 
soon  became  a  member  of  the  present  firm.  During  his  residence 
in  the  County,  Mr.  Ball  has  been  a  political  worker,  but  has  never 
previously  held  political  office.  At  the  regular  session  he  was  Chair- 
man of  the  Printing  Committee  and  member  of  Corporations,  Appro- 
priations, and  Mines  and  Mining  Committees,  and  at  the  special 
session  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Corporations  and  member 
of  Enrolling  and  Engrossing,  Printing,  and  Appropriations  Com- 
mittees. Mr.  Ball  is  a  member  of  the  Masonic  order,  and  has 
taken  every  degree  except  the  33rd. 


FRANCIS  JOSEPH  VAUGHAN,  Secretary  to  the  Speaker  in  the  House 
of  the  First  State  Legislature,  was  born  in  Brooklyn,  New  York, 
January  5,  1858,  and  is  the  son  of  Patrick  J.  and  Frances  McDonald 
Vaughan.  He  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  city, 
from  which  he  was  graduated,  and  later  attended  St.  Peter's  Academy 
of  the  same  city.  In  1873  he  joined  the  navy,  from  which  he  was 
honorably  discharged  after  serving  his  term,  and  in  1877  he  came  to 
Arizona.  He  first  located  at  Prescott,  but  after  a  short  time  re- 
moved to  what  is  now  Cochise  County,  and  lived  at  Charleston,  Ben- 
son, Tombstone  and  on  a  ranch  in  Galluro  Mountains,  working  suc- 
cessively as  school  teacher,  cattleman,  railroader  and  painter,  and  on 
several  occasions  he  acted  as  guide  for  the  soldiers  during  Apache 
uprisings.  In  short,  in  those  times  he  lived  the  life  of  the  Arizona 
frontiersman.  He  has  always  been  a  Democrat  of  the  progressive 
type,  and  as  member  of  the  Cochise  convention  in  August,  1910, 
helped  write  the  platform  of  that  county.  Mr.  Vaughan  is  the  sole

TAMES  P.  FALM.I.  did  his  first  \vork  in  Gila  County  in  December, 
1883,  for  Doctor  James  Douglas,  at  the  mines  now  known  as  the 
Christmas  mines,  and  later  at  the  Old  Dominion  mine;  and  he  is  one 
of  the  group  of  miners  whose  pictures  were  taken  about  the  year  1888. 

On  Thanksgiving  Day,  in  1890,  he  put  the 
first  pick  in  the  ground  for  the  Phelps  Dodge 
Company  at  the  Hoosier  mine,  and  was  fore- 
man for  that  company  for  several  years,  leav- 
ing their  employment  in  1896  when  the  treaty 
was  made  with  the  San  Carlos  Indians  for  the 
opening  of  the  San  Carlos  Strip.  Here  he 
and  H.  C.  Hitchcock  were  the  original 
locators  of  the  central  portion  of  the  group  of 
mines  now  held  by  the  Copper  Reef  Consol- 
idated Mines  Company,  and  are  large  stock- 
holders in  the  same.  Mr.  Faull  owns 
a  group  of  ten  claims,  these  being  the  east 
extension  of  the  Christmas  mines,  at  the 

end  of  the  Winkelman  railroad,  which  contain  several  veins  of  iron 
copper  sulphide  ore,  and  also  carries  good  gold  values.  He  also 
owns  the  California  group  of  four  patented  mines,  the  name  of  which 
are  the  California,  Arizona,  Monitor  and  Upper  Notch,  and  these 
are  almost  surrounded  by  the  United  Globe  mines,  which  are  owned 
by  the  Phelps  Dodge  Company,  and  are  situated  between  the  Grez 
shaft,  the  Kingdon  shaft,  the  Buckeye  shaft  and  the  StonewaU  mine. 
Leasers  have  worked  on  this  group  for  many  years,  and  it  is  said  that 
the  California  vein  is  the  strongest  vein  known  in  the  Globe  Mining 
District.  Outside  of  the  Old  Dominion  and  the  United  Globe  veins 
there  are  several  other  strong  veins  in  this  group.  All  of  these  veins 
are  running  directly  toward  the  ore  bodies  in  the  United  Globe 
ground. 


ENRIQUE  V.  ANAYA,  Mexican  Consul,  Tucson,  was  born  in  the 
City  of  Los  Angeles,  November  30,  1880.  He  is  the  son  of  Jesus 
and  C.  G.  Cordova  Anaya.  His  father  was  a  pioneer  of  California 
and  for  some  years  did  freighting  between  that  Slate  and  points  in 
Arizona.  The  family  removed  to  Sonora  in  1884,  but  Mr.  Anaya 
later  returned  to  Los  Angeles,  to  attend  the  public  schools,  and  there 
he  received  his  English  education.  He  subsequently  attended  the 
State  College  in  Hermosillo,  and  the  Institute  Baz.,  Mexico  City, 
where  he  completed  his  education.  From  1903  to  1907  he  was 
official  Spanish  interpreter  for  the  District  Court  and  the  County  of 
Pima,  and  from  April,  1907,  to  June,  1908,  he  was  Assistant  Cashier 
for  Banco  de  Sonora,  at  Chihuahua,  Mexico.  He  has  also  served  as 
Land  Attorney  and  Deputy  United  States  Marshal  for  Arizona,  and

as  Secretary  to  the  Yaqui  Peace  Commission  in  Sonora.  Being  an 
American  citizen  by  birth,  it  was  necessary  that  Mr.  Anaya  take  out 
citizenship  in  Mexico  in  order  to  fill  the  post  of  Consul,  to  which  he 
was  appointed  in  March,  1912.  He  is  a  Mason  of  the  32nd  degree,

David   L.    Edwards 


DAVID  L.  EDWARDS,  Road  Superintendent  of  Gila  County,  was 
born  in  Kentucky  in  1848.  His  father,  Alfred  Edwards,  a  native  of 
Kentucky,  was  a  farmer,  and  David  followed  in  his  footsteps,  his 
first  occupation  having  been  as  a  tiller  of  the  soil.  He  came  to  Ari- 
zona in  1891  and  settled  in  Globe,  where  he  engaged  in  mining  and 
smelting.  Gila  County  has  long  been  noted  for  the  interest  mani- 
fested by  its  residents  for  a  better  system  of  highways,  and  as  the 
turnpikes  of  Kentucky  wrere  remembered  by  Mr.  Edwards,  he  was 
anxious  to  see  the  same  grade  of  roads  in  his  new  home  county.  Too 
busily  occupied  otherwise  to  enter  the  political  field,  the  dream  of  some 
day  having  charge  of  the  roads  was,  however,  not  given  up  by  him, 
and  at  the  solicitation  of  his  friends  he  entered  the  contest  for  his 
present  position  at  the  last  primary  election  and  won  by  a  handsome 
majority  with  eleven  candidates  in  the  field.  At  the  polls  this  story 
was  repeated,  and  Mr.  Edwards  defeated  his  opponent,  one  of  the 
best  known  and  strongest  men  in  the  county.  Mr.  Edwards  was 
married  in  1875  to  Miss  Polly  Henderson,  and  to  the  couple  have 
been  born  ten  children,  all  of  whom  are  matured  and  well  known 
throughout  the  county,  except  George,  who  is  attending  the  High 
School  at  Globe.

the  public  schools  of  his  native  town  until  fifteen  years  of  age,  when 
desirous  of  studying  medicine,  but  not  having  the  necessary  financial 
backing,  he  entered  a  drug  store  as  an  apprentice,  and  after  serving 
three  years  became  registered  as  a  pharmacist.  He  continued  in  the 
drug  business  to  the  age  of  22,  when  he  came  to  Bisbee,  Arizona,  and

has  been  established  and  a  set  of  regulations  governing  the  Health 
Department  introduced  by  him  and  a  public  sewer  installed.  These 
have  formed  the  nucleus  about  which  has  developed  a  sanitary  condi- 
tion in  the  City  of  Douglas  which  causes  it  to  be  acknowledged 
throughout  the  Southwest  as  the  cleanest,  most  sanitary  and  most 
beautiful  city  of  the  section.  In  politics,  a  Democrat,  he  has  served

Dr.  Munson  is  the  son  of  John  Munson  and  May  Charlotte  Johnson, 
and  was  horn  in  Donovan,  Illinois,  in  1875.  His  parents  were  among 
the  pioneers  of  that  section,  which  was  but  a  swamp  when  they  took 
up  their  residence  there  in  1873.  By  dint  of  well  planned  and  dili- 
gent work,  however,  these  sturdy  pioneers  succeeded  in  making  of  the 
swamp  what  it  is  today  —  one  of  the  best  farming  districts  of  the 
country.  Here  Dr.  Munson  attended  the  common  schools  and  later 
took  a  seminary  course,  which  formed  the  basis  for  his  technical  work 
in  the  School  of  Optometry  in  Northern  Illinois  College,  from  which 
he  was  graduated.  This  was  supplemented  by  a  course  in  the  College 
of  Opthalmology  and  Otology  in  Chicago.  Mrs.  Munson,  wrho, 
prior  to  her  marriage  in  June,  1905,  was  Miss  Rae  Evelyn  Callahan, 
is  a  well  known  member  of  the  Woman's  Club  of  Phoenix,  and  is

that  city  June  27,  1872,  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  and  took 
her  degree  from  the  University  of  Chicago.  During  her  residence 
in  Arizona  she  has  been  an  ardent  worker  for  the  cause  of  woman 
suffrage,  and  was  one  of  the  many  workers  who  felt  amply  repaid  for 
their  sincere  efforts  when  the  cause  became  triumphant  at  the  last

ST.  MARY'S  HOSPITAL  AND  SANITORIUM  is  a  delightful  home  in 
the  "Land  of  Life-Giving  Sunshine."  It  was  the  first  hospital  estab- 
lished in  Arizona,  and  for  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  the  only 
one  in  Tucson,  and  was  opened  for  the  care  and  treatment  of  medical 
and  surgical  cases  in  May,  1880,  by  the  Sisters  of  St.  Joseph  of  Caron- 
delet.  Since  then,  however,  the  original  building,  a  two-story  stone 
one,  has  been  many  times  remodeled  and  enlarged  to  meet  the  require- 
ments of  constant  advancement  in  modern  surgery  and  therapeutics. 

The  hospital  is  situated  among  the  foothills  overlooking  the  City  of 
Tucson,  and  at  a  considerable  height  above  the  surrounding  country, 
thereby  commanding  an  excellent  view  of  one  of  the  most  picturesque 
portions  of  Southern  Arizona.  All  about  are  the  mountains,  re- 
splendent in  their  various  colorings,  and  enclosing  the  broad,  level 
plains  of  the  Santa  Cruz  Valley,  which  are  being  converted  into  fields 
and  gardens  productive  of  almost  every  variety  of  sub-tropical  vegeta- 
tion. Owing  to  the  moderate  altitude,  the  dry,  exhilirating  moun- 
tain air  and  the  glorious  sunshine,  Southern  Arizona  is  a  natural  sani- 
torium  for  throat  and  lung  diseases,  and  many  are  the  cures  effected  in 
its  climate.  Located  in  the  suburbs,  and  combining  the  conveniences 
of  the  city  with  the  advantages  of  the  country,  easy  of  access  and  sup- 
plied with  abundant  facilities  for  outdoor  life  and  recreation,  "SAINT 
MARY'S"  has  for  more  than  thirty  years  been  a  refuge  for  patients 
suffering  from  those  diseases. 

The  grounds  comprise  about  sixty  acres,  the  portion  adjacent  to  the 
buildings  being  tastefully  laid  out  with  flowers  and  shrubs,  lawns  and 
driveways  bordered  with  palms  and  pepper  trees.  The  remaining 
portion  comprises  the  hospital  farm  and  dairy.  Within  the  grounds 
are  the  hospital  proper  and  the  sanitorium.  The  hospital  proper 
contains  the  following  departments :  Private  rooms  and  wards  for 
medical  and  surgical  cases;  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad  department: 
a  recently  constructed  wing  containing  the  sterilizing,  anaesthesizing, 
operating  and  dressing  rooms,  and  a  well  equipped  pharmacy.  The 
operating  rooms  are  complete  and  thoroughly  up  to  date,  the  general 
equipment  of  glass,  nickel,  and  white  enameled  iron  furniture,  electric 
and  steam  sterilizers,  making  it  all  that  the  most  exacting  surgeon  could 
demand.  The  sanitorium,  erected  in  1900,  is  a  short  distance  to  the 
right.  It  is  unique  in  structure,  being  a  perfect  rotunda  two  stories 
high  and  having  an  open  court  fifty  feet  in  diameter  enclosing  a  gar- 
den. All  rooms  open  directly  on  spacious  verandas,  and  are  pro- 
vided with  double  doors  and  large  windows,  which  allow  free  access 
of  air  and  sunshine,  so  essential  to  the  treatment  of  tuberculosis. 
There  are  also  tent  houses  and  sleeping  porches  for  rhose  who  prefer 
them.  Each  department  is  under  the  personal  supervision  of  a 
Sister,  and  only  graduate  nurses  are  employed,  as  there  is  no  training 
school  in  connection  with  the  hospital.  All  buildings  are  heated  by 
steam,  lighted  by  electricity  and  provided  with  electric  callbells  and 


WHO'S    WHO 

telephone  service.  One  of  the  most  important  factors  in  the  treatment 
of  tuberculosis  is  nourishing  food,  and  realizing  this,  special  attention 
is  given  to  the  matter,  while  regulations  for  the  preservation  of  clean- 
liness and  the  avoidance  of  infection  of  any  kind  are  rigorously  en- 
forced, and  the  whole  air  is  that  of  a  home  rather  than  a  hospital.

dentistry  at  the  same  school,  from  which  course  he  was  graduated  in 
1896.  That  he  has  made  no  mistake  in  the  choice  of  profession  is

years,  and  has  served  as  its  Secretary  and  Treasurer.  Dr.  Baker  was 
born  June  8,  1880,  in  Merced  Falls,  California,  where  his  father,  W. 
N.  Baker,  was  a  prominent  merchant.  His  mother,  who  wTas  Miss 
Elizabeth  Willis,  died  when  he  was  three  years  old.  A  year  later  his 
father  married  Mrs.  Clara  A.  Clark,  who  has  been  more  than  a  mother 
to  him,  and  to  her  he  gives  credit  for  his  success.  Dr.  Baker  was 
educated  and  studied  dentistry  in  California,  having  attended  Modesto 
Grammar  School,  the  University  of  Southern  California,  and  the 
University  of  California,  at  Berkeley.  From  the  latter  he  received 
the  degree  D.  D.  S.  in  1903,  and  in  1912  took  a  post-graduate  course

Arizona,  and  opening  an  office  in  Williams,  for  the  following  four 
years  he  remained  there,  having  established  a  very  satisfactory  prac-

Cleaver  High.  He  was  educated  principally  in  the  public  schools  of 
Nebraska,  where  the  family  removed  when  he  was  but  eleven  years 
old.  In  1880  he  went  to  California,  and  worked  for  the  Pacific 
Coast  Steamship  Company  at  San  Diego,  and  later  engaged  in  livery 
business  there.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1894  and  settled  in  Bisbee, 
where  he  took  up  smelter  work  for  the  Copper  Queen  Company,  and 
was  afterward  employed  by  them  as  hoisting  engineer,  until  five 
years  ago  when  he  was  elected  to  his  present  office.  During  his  first 
term  he  won  such  an  enviable  reputation  by  the  manner  in  wrhich  he 
dispensed  justice  that  he  was  the  only  man  considered  for  the  office 
for  the  ensuing  term.  Judge  High  is  a  Republican  in  politics.  He  is 
a  well  known  member  of  the  Moose  and  Royal  Arcanum.  He  was 
married  May  12,  1890,  to  Miss  Margaret  Treanor.  Mrs.  High  is 
prominently  known  in  social  matters  in  Bisbee.

L.  I).  RICK.ETTS,  consulting  mining  engineer  for  a  majority  of  the 
mining  companies  in  Arizona,  and  several  in  Mexico,  who  makes  his 
headquarters  at  Cananea,  Mexico  was  born  at  Elkton,  Maryland,  De- 
cember 19,  1859,  the  son  of  Palmer  C.  and  Elizabeth  Getty  Ricketts. 
He  is  a  brother  of  Professor  Palmer  C.  Ricketts,  President  of  Rensse- 
laer  Polytechnic  Institute.  Dr.  Ricketts  was  graduated  from  the 
College  of  New  Jersey,  in  the  class  of  1881,  with  the  degree  of  Bache- 
lor of  Science.  He  was  chosen  a  Fellow  in  Chemistry  and  W.  S. 
Ward  Fellow  in  Economic  Geology  at  Princeton  University  immedi- 
ately following  his  gradua- 
tion and  after  two  years  of 
study  was  given  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Science  ( in 
course).  Following  this  Dr. 
Ricketts  worked  in  Colorado 
as  Mine  Surveyor,  and  for 
the  fifteen  years  following 
was  chiefly  occupied  in  recon- 
naissance and  geological  work 
and  mine  examination.  From 
1887  to  1890  he  was  geolo- 
gist for  Wyoming  and  then 
transferred  his  operations  to 
the  Southwest,  where  he  has 
since  been  steadily  engaged  in 
large  mining  projects.  He 
was  identified  with  the  ac- 
quisition of  the  property  now 
owned  by  the  Moctezuma 
Copper  Co.,  at  Nacozari, 
Mexico,  from  1899  to  1901, 
served  as  general  manager  of 

the  property  and  during  his  administration  the  concentrator  and  reduc- 
tion works  were  completed  and  the  mines  put  on  a  dividend-paying 
basis.  While  Dr.  Ricketts  has  had  extensive  experience  in  mine  ex- 
amination and  management,  identified  with  most  of  the  large  and  pros- 
perous mines  of  the  Southwest,  his  most  important  work  has,  un- 
doubtedly, been  in  the  construction  of  large  modern  smeking  and  con- 
centrating plants.  All  of  the  plants  erected  by  him  have  been  success- 
ful and  have  brought  about  great  decrease  in  the  cost  of  handling  the 
ores.  He  designed  his  first  large  concentrators  in  1897,  when  he  in- 
stalled one  each  for  the  Detroit  Copper  Mining  Co.,  and  the  Mocte- 
zuma Copper  Co.  In  1901,  Dr.  Ricketts  wrent  to  Globe  to  undertake 
the  construction  of  a  surface  plant  and  the  reopening  of  the  mines  of 
the  Old  Dominion  Copper  Mining  and  Smelting  Co.  He  took  this 
property  when  it  was  almost  wrecked,  and  under  his  administration 
it  was  put  on  a  sound,  producing  basis.  In  1903  he  was  appointed

Consulting  Engineer  to  the  Cananea  Consolidated  Copper  Co.,  took 
absolute  charge  of  the  design  and  construction  of  their  new  concen- 
trator and  upon  its  completion  went  to  Europe,  combining  pleasure 
with  business,  and  spent  a  great  deal  of  time  in  the  investigation  of 
modern  engineering  practice.  Returning  to  the  United  States  in 
1905,  Dr.  Ricketts,  utilizing  the  knowledge  gained  in  Europe,  con- 
structed a  large  coal  washing  plant  for  the  Dawson  Fuel  Company, 
at  Dawson,  New  Mexico,  which  has  a  washing  capacity  of  two  hun- 
dred tons  per  hour.  Its  construction  throughout  represents  the  high- 
est type  of  modern  development,  and  belt  conveyors  are  largely  used  in 
handling  the  materials.  The  various  plants  constructed  by  Dr.  Ricketts 
are  noted  for  the  excellence  of  design  and  material  and  the  sum  total 
of  their  cost  represents  many  millions  of  dollars.  In  1907  he  became 
President  and  General  Manager  of  the  Cananea  Consolidated  Copper 
Co.,  and  during  his  administration  the  works  of  the  company,  with  the 
exception  of  the  concentrators,  have  been  completely  overhauled  and 
rebuilt,  and  placed  upon  a  profitable  basis.  He  devotes  the  greater 
part  of  his  time  to  the  direction  of  the  company's  affairs,  but  in  addi- 
tion to  this,  he  has  been  in  demand  by  most  of  the  large  mining  inter- 
ests of  the  section  as  Consulting  Engineer.  For  some  years  Dr. 
Ricketts  acted  in  an  advisory  capacity  to  the  great  Phelps  Dodge  in- 
terests. He  was  chosen  Consulting  Engineer  for  the  Calumet  & 
Arizona  Copper  Co.  in  1911,  advising  it  in  the  design  and  construc- 
tion of  the  great  smelting  plant  recently  completed  at  Douglas.  The 
same  year  he  accepted  the  post  of  Consulting  Engineer  with  the  Ari- 
zona Copper  Co.,  Ltd.,  and  immediately  took  charge  of  the  construc- 
tion of  a  smelting  plant  which  the  company  has  just  completed.  He 
also  re-designed  and  enlarged  the  company's  concentrators  at  Clifton. 
Another  interest  which  Dr.  Ricketts  serves  in  this  capacity  is  the 
International  Smelting  &  Refining  Co.  He  is  the  author  of  "The 
Ores  of  Leadville  and  Their  Modes  of  Occurrence,"  "Geological 
Reports  of  the  Geologist  of  Wyoming,"  and  various  papers  for  techni- 
cal societies  and  periodicals.  His  paper  entitled  "Experiments  in  Re- 
verbatory  Practice  at  Cananea,  Mexico,"  secured  for  him  the  Gold 
Medal  of  the  Institution  of  Mining  and  Metallurgy  of  Great  Britain 
for  the  year  1910.  Dr.  Ricketts  is  extremely  active  in  affairs  of  the 
Southwest  and  is  interested  in  various  financial  and  development  pro- 
jects. Among  these  are  the  Morenci  Water  Co.,  of  which  he  is  Presi- 
dent and  Director ;  the  Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust  Company,  of  which 
he  is  Vice  President  and  Director;  he  is  also  director  of  the  Bank  of 
Bisbee,  and  the  Raritan  Copper  Works.  Dr.  Ricketts  is  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Regents  of  the  University  of  Arizona,  and  member  of 
the  American  Society  of  Engineers,  American  Institute  of  Mining 
Engineers,  American  Association  for  the  Advancement  of  Science, 
and  the  Institution  of  Mining  and  Metallurgy  of  Great  Britain.  He 
is  a  member  of  various  clubs,  among  them  the  Engineers'  Club  and 
the  Railroad  Club,  both  of  New  York.

MARCUS  AURELIUS  SMITH,  United  States  Senator  from  Arizona, 
served  many  years  as  Territorial  Delegate  in  Congress,  during 
which  he  accomplished  much  for  the  good  of  the  Territory,  although 
allowed  no  vote,  and  through  his  efforts  appropriations  for  various 
important  improvements  have  been  granted  Arizona.  Mr.  Smith 
is  a  native  of  Cynthiana,  Kentucky,  where  he  wras  educated  and 
was  graduated  from  the  Transylvania  University,  Lexington.  He 
studied  law  and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  Kentucky,  but  removed 
to  Arizona  in  1881.  Being  a  descendant  of  an  old  Southern  family, 
he  was  a  supporter  of  the  Democratic  party,  and  soon  began  to  be  in- 
terested in  political  affairs  in  Arizona.  The  year  following  his  arrival 
he  was  elected  prosecuting  attorney  of  Cochise  County,  and  in  this 
position  the  energy  with  which  he  prosecuted  lawbreakers  had  a 
gratifying  effect  in  bringing  about  a  more  desirable  condition,  and  his 
record  in  office  was  such  that  in  1886  he  was  elected  Delegate  to  Con- 
gress. Having  served  four  terms,  he  refused  the  nomination  in  1895, 
but  at  the  next  election  wyas  a  candidate  and  was  elected  the  two  suc- 
ceeding terms.  In  all  he  served  sixteen  years  as  Delegate  from  the 
Territory,  and  through  his  influence  various  acts  of  much  benefit  to 
Arizona  were  passed  by  Congress,  and  he  was  instrumental  in  procur- 
ing numerous  federal  appropriations  for  public  buildings,  irrigation 
projects  and  other  improvements.  Senator  Smith  was  one  of  the  first 
to  advocate  the  reclamation  of  arid  lands  by  the  government,  and 
aided  in  drafting  the  Reclamation  Act.  He  was  also  one  of  the 
original  advocates  of  single  Statehood  for  Arizona,  and  for  the  con- 
summation of  this  purpose  fought  earnestly  for  more  than  twenty 
years.  Senator  Smith  was  a  powerful  influence  in  drafting  the  State 
Constitution,  in  which  many  of  his  ideas  were  incorporated,  and 
having  accomplished  so  much  for  the  best  interests  of  Arizona  during 
Territorial  days,  with  the  coming  of  Statehood,  as  a  reward  for  his 
long  service  in  behalf  of  his  constituents,  he  was  chosen  to  his  present 
position  to  be  one  of  the  first  Senators  from  the  State  of  Arizona.  As 
Senator,  he  has  continued  his  work  in  behalf  of  Arizona  and  is  the 
father  of  various  measures  in  the  interests  of  the  State.  Mr.  Smith's 
home  is  at  Tucson,  where  he  engages  in  the  practice  of  his  profession 
when  not  devoting  his  attention  to  affairs  of  State,  and  is  a  member  of 
the  Old  Pueblo  Club,  Masonic  Order  and  Elks. 


HEXRY  F.  ASHURST,  United  States  Senator  from  Arizona,  who 
drew  the  long  term  at  the  first  State  election,  was  elected  without  an 
opposition  vote.  He  is  a  native  of  Nevada,  and  a  typical  westerner, 
and  has  lived  since  early  youth  in  Arizona.  When  he  had  barely 
attained  his  majority  he  was  elected  to  the  20th  Legislature,  and 
chosen  Speaker  of  the  House,  and  was  counted  a  fair  and  capable  offi- 
cial and  an  excellent  parliamentarian.  He  was  sponsor  of  the  bill 
which  gave  the  Normal  School  to  Flagstaff,  and  was  especially  active 
in  behalf  of  laws  beneficial  to  labor  interests.  By  profession  Mr.

Ashurst  is  a  lawyer,  and  has  made  a  specialty  of  criminal  law,  but  his 
occupations  have  been  varied,  and  he  has  had  training  in  practically  all 
the  industrial  pursuits,  and  is  as  well  versed  on  general  conditions  in 
Arizona  as  any  man  in  the  State.  Senator  Ashurst  was  admitted  to 
practice  by  the  Supreme  Court  of  Arizona  in  1897,  and  by  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  the  United  States  in  1908,  having  meantime  entered 
the  Law  Department  of  the  University  of  Michigan,  where  he  took 
special  lectures  in  law  and  political  economy.  In  1902  he  was  elected 
to  the  Territorial  Council  of  Arizona,  in  1904  was  elected  District 
Attorney  of  Coconino  County,  and  two  years  later  re-elected.  After 
the  expiration  of  the  latter  term  he  engaged  in  private  practice,  and 
\vas  employed  in  various  important  litigations.  He  was  one  of  the 
most  earnest  workers  for  Statehood  for  Arizona,  and  active  in  the  cam- 
paign for  the  progressive  Constitution  under  which  Statehood  was 
granted.  He  was  elected  from  Coconino  County,  and  despite  the  fact 
that  he  is  one  of  the  youngest  men  ever  elected  to  the  United  States 
Senate,  he  has  been  a  hard  worker,  and  has  wron  the  sincere  approval 
of  his  constituents.  Senator  Ashurst  has  labored  during  his  entire 
career  for  the  advancement  of  measures  for  the  development  of  Ari- 
zona and  its  resources,  and  has  given  special  attention  to  the  matter  of 
having  lands  set  apart  for  the  upbuilding  of  the  public  school  system. 
He  has  also  been  a  staunch  advocate  of  laws  for  industrial  improve- 
ment or  the  benefit  of  the  working  classes,  his  policy  being  the  develop- 
ment of  the  citizen  first,  and  property  next.  Since  taking  his  seat  in 
the  United  States  Senate  Senator  Ashurst  has  continued  his  fight  for 
progressive  legislation,  and  as  a  member  of  various  important  commit- 
tees, his  work  has  been  very  effective.  He  was  a  prominent  figure  in 
the  campaign  of  1912,  in  behalf  of  Wood  row  Wilson.  As  a  public 
speaker  Senator  Ashurst  has  acquired  a  wide  reputation,  as  he  is 
rated  among  the  most  powerful  orators  of  the  country,  and  his  excep- 
tional gift  in  this  respect  has  won  for  him  tremendous  popularity  both 
in  Arizona  and  in  his  capacity  as  the  State's  representative  in  the 
Upper  House  of  Congress.  Senator  Ashurst  was  married  in  1904  to 
Miss  Elizabeth  L.  Reno,  of  Flagstaff. 


CARL  HAYDEX,  first  Congressman  from  the  State  of  Arizona,  is  a 
native  of  the  State,  having  been  born  at  Tempe,  Maricopa  County, 
October  22,  1877.  His  father,  Charles  Trumbull  Hayden,  was  rear- 
ed and  educated  in  Connecticut,  and  was  recognized  as  a  striking  ex- 
ample of  New  England's  best  citizenship,  who  arrived  in  Arizona 
about  the  time  of  the  close  of  the  Civil  War,  and  was  known  as  the 
founder  of  Tempe,  and  his  mother  was  Sallie  Calvert  Davis,  origin- 
ally of  Arkansas.  Carl  Hayden  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of 
Tempe,  Tempe  Normal  and  Leland  Stanford  Junior  University,  and 
from  the  latter  was  graduated  with  honors.  For  a  time  he  was  en- 
gaged in  business  with  his  father  as  manager  of  the  firm  of  C.  T. 
Hayden  Company,  in  which  capacity  he  displayed  the  same  sound 


W  H  O  '  S     \V  H  O     IX     A  R  I  7  O  X    A  689 

business  judgment  as  characterized  the  methods  of  the  firm.  Coming 
from  a  long  line  of  progressive  Democrats,  Congressman  Hayden  is  an 
advanced  type  of  this  school,  hut  by  no  means  a  radical,  and  being 
possessed  of  many  of  the  substantial  and  enduring  traits  of  his  father, 
a  strong  and  genial  personality  and  propensity  for  making  friends, 
early  in  life  he  became  an  important  factor  in  Maricopa  County  poli- 
tics. His  first  political  office  was  treasurer  of  the  county,  to  which  he 
was  elected  by  an  overwhelming  majority.  In  1904  he  was  elected 
delegate  to  the  National  Convention,  and  in  1906  sheriff  of  Maricopa 
County,  to  which  office  he  was  re-elected  and  served  until  Arizona 
became  a  State.  In  December,  1911,  he  was  elected  to  the  Sixty- 
second  Congress  by  a  large  majority,  and  in  November,  1912,  when 
re-elected  Congressman,  received  the  highest  vote  polled  in  the  State. 
Congressman  Hayden  was  for  a  number  of  years  associated  with  the 
National  Guard  of  Arizona  and  at  the  time  of  his  resignation  held 
the  rank  of  Major.  He  was  an  ardent  and  energetic  worker  in  the 
organization,  and  its  present  high  state  of  efficiency  is  in  a  large 
measure  the  result  of  his  efforts.  Mrs.  Hayden,  who  was  formerly 
Miss  Nan  Downing,  is,  like  her  husband,  a  graduate  of  Stanford, 
having  taken  an  A.  B.  degree  there  in  1903.  Their  Arizona  home  at 
the  present  time  is  in  Phoenix. 


JOHN  JOSEPH  BIRDNO,  recently  appointed  by  President  Wilson  Re- 
ceiver of  the  United  States  Land  Office,  with  headquarters  at  Phoenix, 
is  best  known  for  the  results  he  accomplished  as  Chairman  of  the 
State  Democratic  Central  Committee  during  the  first  State  compaign, 
when  every  candidate  on  the  ticket  was  elected.  During  the  entire 
campaign  his  paper,  The  Graham  Guardian,  advocated  the  prin- 
ciples of  Democracy.  He  had  the  endorsement  of  the  entire  Democ- 
lacy  for  the  position,  and  was  the  only  man  seriously  considered  for 
the  place.  Mr.  Birdno  was  born  in  Logan,  Utah,  April  10,  1868. 
He  is  the  son  of  N.  W.  and  Mary  Farrell  Birdno.  Mr.  Birdno,  who 
i>  one  of  the  most  persistent  workers  for  the  development  of  Arizona's 
resources,  attended  public  school  in  Utah,  but  at  the  age  of  eight 
years  went  into  a  print  shop  and  has  since  remained  in  the  business, 
by  means  of  which  while  supporting  himself,  he  acquired  his 
education  and  by  the  time  he  was  eighteen  had  qualified  as  a  school 
teacher.  He  removed  to  Arizona  in  1884.  At  the  time  of  his  arrival 
the  Apache  Indians  were  on  the  warpath  and  during  the  next  few 
years  committed  some  of  their  worst  crimes.  Mr.  Birdno  taught 
school  for  several  years  in  Arizona,  but  in  1895  established  'The 
Graham  Guardian,"  now  the  leading  newspaper  of  that  section, 
through  whose  columns  he  has  argued  incessantly  for  the  upbuilding 
of  the  great  Gila  Valley.  A  man  of  force  and  foresight,  his  editorials 
have  been  an  important  factor  in  promoting  the  interests  of  the  Valley. 
Mr.  Birdno  has  been  prominent  in  political  affairs  since  he  reached  his 
majority  and  has  taken  a  leading  part  for  the  Democratic  party  in

every  campaign,  state  or  local.  He  was  appointed  assessor  of  Graham 
County  and  served  in  that  capacity  for  ten  years.  In  1905  he  in- 
creased the  assessments  on  mining  properties  several  million  dollars 
and  through  his  efforts  the  burden  of  taxation  on  the  people  was  re- 
duced fifty  per  cent.  Governor  Kibbey  declared  in  his  next  report  to 
the  Secretary  of  the  Interior  that  Mr.  Birdno  was  the  only  Assessor 
in  the  Territory  who  was  doing  his  duty.  Upon  him  as  Chairman  of 
the  State  Executive  Committee  devolved  the  necessity  of  directing  the 
party  in  the  first  State  election,  the  result  of  which  was  one  of  the 
most  complete  victories  in  the  history  of  State  politics.  He  is  Presi- 
dent of  the  Gila  Valley  Fair  Association,  and  Director  of  the  Bank  of 
Safford  and  the  Graham  County  Chamber  of  Commerce,  and  one  of 
the  leaders  in  development  of  the  Gila  Valley.  On  December  27, 
1889,  Mr.  Birdno  was  married  to  Miss  Ella  May  Johnson  at  Thatch- 
er, Arizona,  and  to  them  have  been  born  three  daughters,  Mildred 
May,  Blanche  Elizabeth  and  Mary  Lorraine.

CHARLES  L.  CUMMINGS.,  President  of  the  First  National  Bank  of 
Tombstone,  was  born  in  Oxford,  New  York,  in  1855,  was  educated 
and  passed  the  first  twenty-five  years  of  his  life  in  his  native  State. 
In   1880  he  located  in  Tombstone  and  for  the  next  four  years  was 
employed  by  the  Tombstone  Mill  &  Mine  Company,  and  for  almost 
four  years  succeeding  this  he   was   foreman   of   the   water  works   at 
Charleston.        For  a  year  he  was  engaged   in   the  meat   business   in 
Bisbee,  but  having  lost  everything  by  fire,  he  returned  to  Tombstone 
and  took  up  the  burden  of  life  under  rather  discouraging  conditions, 
but  bravely  overcame  difficulties  and  was  soon  engaged  in  business 
there  on  his  own  account.        He  became  largely  interested  in  stock- 
raising  and  bought  a  half  interest  in  a  ranch  in  the  Sulphur  Springs 
Valley.        Later  he  acquired  valuable  mining  interests  in  the  Swiss- 
helm  mountains,  and  both  these  enterprises  proved  satisfying  sources 
of   revenue.        He   subsequently   became   owner   of   the   Tombstone 
Pharmacy,  on  of  the  finest  business  holdings  in   the  city  during  its 
most  flourishing  days,  and  of  varied  interests  in  Tucson  and  Cali- 
fornia.       Mr.  Cummings  has  been  a  life-long  Republican,  and  has 
been  identified  with  all  the  important  undertakings  of  the  party.      In 
1894  he  was  elected  by  a  large  majority  to  the  lower  house  of  the 
Legislature,  and  during  his  term  made  a  notable  record  for  service. 
He  was  Chairman  of  the  Stock  Committee,  member  of  several  others, 
and  was  especially  active  in  preventing  the  passage  of  the  bill  dividing 
Cochise  County,  a  measure  which  was  bitterly  fought  at  this  session. 
He   was   also   largely    instrumental    in    preventing   the   passage   of   a 
measure  whose  only  purpose  was  to  thrust  directly  upon  the  working- 
man  and  other  consumers  the  cost  of  cattle  inspection,  and  had  the 
gratification  of  seeing  his  efforts  rewarded  by  the  placing  of  this  cost 
in  the  proper  channels.       In  1896  he  was  his  party's  candidate  for 
County  Treasurer,  and  in  1898  was  again  nominated  for  the  Assem- 
bly,  but   was   defeated   with   the   party.        He   served   one   term   as 
Treasurer  of  Tombstone.     Mr.  Cummings  is  known  over  the  entire 
State  as  a  man  whose  word  is  as  good  as  his  bond,  and  his  wide  inter- 
ests give  him  a  knowledge  of  general  conditions  wrhich  is  most  valu- 
able.    Many  of  his  friends  have  urged  him  to  seek  further  honors  un- 
der the  new  state  and  thus  round  out  his  career,  but  he  has  refused  to 
become  a  candidate  for  office.  As  president  of  the  First  National  Bank 
Mr.  Cummings  has  a  recognized  position  in  the  State,  this  being  one 
of  the  small  but  exceedingly  strong  banks  of  Arizona.       Its  capital 
stock  is  $25,000,  surplus  and  undivided  profits  almost  $24,000,  while 
its  total  resources  are  $236,000.       T.  R.  Brandt,  Cashier,  has  been 
with  the  institution  for  many  years,  and  among  its  Board  of  Directors 
are  some  of  the  old   reliable  citizens  and  business  men  of  Cochise 
County.        In  addition  to  Mr.  Cummings,  the  Board  includes  John 
Slaughter,  well  known  pioneer  and  cattleman,  William  Cowan  and 
August  Baron,  well  known  mining  men  of  Tombstone.

Epes   Randolph 


IN      ARIZONA  693 

EPES  RANDOLPH,  President  of  the  Arizona  Eastern  R.  R.  Co.  and 
the  Southern  Pacific  R.  R.  Co.  of  Mexico,  was  born  in  Lunenburg; 
County,  Virginia.  His  parents  were  also  natives  of  Virginia,  his 
father,  William  Eston  Randolph,  having  been  born  in  Clarke  Coun- 
ty, and  his  mother,  Sarah  Lavinia  Epes,  in  Lunenburg  County. 
Since  1876  Mr.  Randolph  has  been  almost  continuously  engaged  in 
railroad  work  in  some  of  its  phases.  From  that  year  until  1885  he 
was  in  continuous  service,  during  this  time  having  served  about  half 
a  dozen  companies,  the  principal  ones  of  which  wrere  the  Alabama 
Great  Southern,  the  Chesapeake,  Ohio  &  Southwestern,  and  the 
Kentucky  Central.  His  field  of  operation  during  this  time  was  in 
Kentucky,  Tennessee,  Alabama,  Mississippi,  Georgia,  Texas  and  Old 
Mexico,  and  his  work  was  location,  construction  and  maintenance. 
He  served  as  assistant,  locating,  resident  and  division  engineer.  In 
1885  he  was  appointed  chief  engineer  of  the  Kentucky  Central  R.  R., 
with  headquarters  at  Covington,  Ky.,  and  at  the  same  time  was 
chief  engineer  of  the  Cincinnati  Elevated  Railway,  Transfer  & 
Bridge  Co.,  both  of  which  were  Huntington  properties.  With  the 
latter  company  his  work  consisted  of  the  construction  of  a  double 
track  railway,  highway  and  footway  bridge  across  the  Ohio  River, 
and  connecting  the  town  of  Covington  with  Cincinnati,  while  on  the 
Kentucky  Central  he  was  in  charge  of  the  maintenance,  construction 
and  reconstruction  work.  Early  in  the  year  1890,  the  Kentucky 
Central  having  been  sold  to  the  Louisville  &  Nashville  and  the  bridge 
completed,  Mr.  Randolph  was  transferred  to  Lexington,  as  chief 
engineer  and  superintendent  of  the  Newport  News  &  Mississippi 
Valley  Co.,  the  Ohio  &  Big  Sandy  R.  R.  Co.  and  the  Kentucky  &  S. 
Atlantic  R.  R.  Co.,  which  position  he  held  until  1891,  and  was  then 
transferred  to  Louisville  as  chief  engineer  and  general  superintendent 
of  the  Chesapeake,  Ohio  &  Southwestern  and  the  Ohio  Valley  Compa- 
nies, which  were  also  Huntington  properties.  In  1894  he  resigned 
this  position  owing  to  ill  health,  and  spent  a  year  in  the  west  doing 
no  work  at  all,  except  giving  professional  advice  to  companies  which 
he  was  serving  as  consulting  engineer,  a  general  practice  in  this  line 
having  been  built  up  by  him  during  the  previous  ten  years,  in  which 
his  clients  consisted  of  railway  companies  and  municipalities.  This 
work  was  mainly  bridge  construction — foundation  and  superstructure, 
and  in  this  capacity  he  supervised  the  construction  of  the  bridge 
across  the  Ohio  connecting  Louisville  with  Jeffersonville,  Ind.,  which 
was  built  by  a  local  company  known  as  the  East  End  Improvement 
Co.,  and  was  sold  upon  completion  to  the  Chesapeake  &  Ohio  and 
the  Big  Eour  Companies.  In  1895  he  was  made  superintendent  for 
the  Southern  Pacific,  in  charge  of  its  lines  in  Arizona  and  New 
Mexico,  and  his  headquarters  were  in  Tucson.  After  six  years  in  this 
position  he  removed  to  Los  Angeles  to  accept  one  as  vice  president 
and  general  manager  of  the  Los  Angeles  Ry.  Co.  and  the  Pacific 
Electric  Ry.  Co.,  where  for  three  years  he  remained  locating,  build-

ing  and  operating  some  700  miles  of  electric  line.  Returning  to 
Tucson  in  the  fall  of  1904  he  became  president  of  the  Gila  Vallev, 
Globe  &  Northern  Ry.  Co.  and  the  Maricopa,  Phoenix  &  Salt  River 
Valley  R.  R.  Co.  in  Arizona  and  the  Cananea,  Yaqui  River  &  Pa- 
cific R.  R.  Co.  in  Mexico,  all  of  which  were  Harriman  properties. 
In  1909,  the  latter  having  been  absorbed  by  the  S.  P.  of  Mexico,  Mr. 
Randolph  was  elected  vice  president  and  general  manager  of  the 
company;  and  in  February,  1910,  the  other  two  roads  with  which  he 
was  associated  having  been  merged  into  the  Arizona  Eastern  R.  R. 
Co.,  he  was  elected  to  similar  position  in  the  new  company,  and  the 
following  year  he  was  elected  president  of  both  companies.  In  addi- 
tion to  his  duties  as  president  of  these  two  companies,  he  is 
president  of  the  California  Development  Co.,  a  large  irrigation  pro- 
ject operating  in  the  Colorado  Desert  in  the  State  of  California,  and 
in  Lower  California  in  the  Republic  of  Mexico.  The  company  now 
irrigates  some  250,000  acres  of  land  and  when  the  project  is  com- 
pleted will  irrigate  600,000  acres.  The  handling  of  this  enterprise 
involved  the  closing  of  a  crevasse  and  turning  the  waters  of  the  Colo- 
rado River  back  into  the  original  channel  after  the  same  had  flowed 
into  Salton  Sink  for  some  two  years  and  created  a  lake  50  miles  in 
length  by  15  miles  in  width,  maximum  depth  100  feet.  The  Colo- 
rado River  at  the  point  of  the  crevasse  is  120  feet  above  sea  level, 
and  the  bottom  of  Salton  basin  285  feet  below  sea  level.  Mr.  Ran- 
dolph was  married  in  January,  1886,  to  Miss  Eleanor  Taylor,  of 
Winchester,  Kentucky. 


MAJOR  CHARLES  HINE,  one  of  the  best  known  railway  executives 
in  America,  is  also  among  the  youngest,  having  been  born  on  March 
15,  1867,  at  Vienna,  Virginia,  in  which  suburb  of  Washington,  D.  C., 
he  still  retains  a  residence.  He  spent  his  boyhood  on  a  farm,  gradu- 
ated, 1885,  from  the  Washington,  D.  C.,  High  School,  and  entered 
the  employ  of  a  contractor.  In  a  competitive  examination  at  Alex- 
andria, Virginia,  he  won  a  cadetship  and  wras  graduated,  1891,  from 
the  United  States  Military  Academy,  West  Point,  standing  in  the 
middle  of  his  class,  but  being  first  in  tactics  and  in  discipline.  Grad- 
uated from  the  Cincinnati  Law  School  and  admitted  to  bar  1893. 
while  serving  as  Lieutenant,  United  States  Army.  As  cadet  and  as 
officer  acted  as  inspector-instructor  at  various  encampments  of  State 
militia.  Resigned  his  commission  as  Lieutenant,  1895,  and  began 
railway  work  as  freight  brakeman,  Cleveland,  Cincinnati,  Chicago  & 
St.  Louis  Railway  (Big  Four  Route),  with  which  company  he  re- 
mained for  four  years  in  various  capacities,  to  include  that  of  train- 
master of  the  Cincinnati-Indianapolis  district.  He  has  since  been 
employed  by  numerous  railways  and  other  corporations.  In  the 
course  of  the  career  he  has  worked  as  brakeman,  switchman,  yard- 
master,  emergency  conductor,  chief  clerk,  train  master,  assistant  su- 
perintendent, right-of-way  agent,  general  superintendent,  and  as  vice

president  and  general  manager,  besides  holding  various  unique  staff 
positions  while  doing  special  staff  work  of  different  kinds.  In  1907- 
1908  he  was  receiver  of  the  Washington,  Arlington  &  Falls  Church 
(electric)  Railway.  Major  Hine  has  made  reports  on  divers  features 
of  several  small  railways  and  of  the  following  larger  ones:  Chicago 
&  Alton ;  Chicago,  Rock  Island  &  Pacific;  St.  Louis  &  San  Francisco; 
Chicago  &  Eastern  Illinois;  Chicago,  Burlington  Si  Quincy;  Erie; 
Intercolonial  (of  Canada);  Prince  Edward  Island;  Delaware  & 
Hudson ;  Georgia  &  Florida ;  and  National  Railways  of  Mexico. 
From  July,  1908,  to  December,  1911,  as  organization  expert  of  the 
Union  Pacific  System — Southern  Pacific  Company  (Harriman  Lines) 
he  originated  and  installed  thereon  a  unit  system  of  organization, 
known  in  the  railway  world  as  "the  Hine  system."  Major  Hine, 
under  his  full  name,  Charles  DeLano  Hine,  is  a  magazine  and  edi- 
torial writer,  and  in  Virginia  a  farmer  and  real  estate  dealer.  Author 
of  "Letters  from  an  Old  Railway  Official  to  His  Son,"  first  series 
1904,  second  series  1911;  the  Railway  Age  Gazette,  New  York. 
He  served  in  the  siege  of  Santiago  de  Cuba,  Spanish-American  War, 
1898,  as  Major,  United  States  Volunteers.  In  1900  he  was  inspector 
of  safety  appliances  for  the  Interstate  Commerce  Commission. 
While  with  Gunn,  Richards  &  Co.,  1907,  assisted  in  revision  of 
business  methods,  Department  of  Interior,  Washington.  As  tem- 
porary special  representative  of  President  Taft,  1910,  outlined  a  pro- 
gram for  improving  organization  and  methods  of  all  executive  depart-

and  a  member  of  the  Army  and  Navy  Clubs,  Washington  and  New 
York ;  of  the  American  Club  in  the  City  of  Mexico,  and  of  the  Old 
Pueblo  Club,  Tucson,  Arizona,  where  he  has  been  located  since  Jan- 
uary, 1912,  as  Vice  President  and  General  Manager  of  the  Southern 
Pacific  Railroad  of  Mexico  (West  Coast  Route),  and  of  the  Arizona 
Eastern  Railroad,  both  included  in  the  Harriman  system. 


L.  H.  MAXNIXG,  Tucson's  most  enterprising  and  public  spirited 
citizen,  has  for  almost  thirty  years  materially  aided  in  furthering 
every  important  project  for  the  advancement  of  that  city.  Mr. 
Manning  was  born  in  Halifax  County,  N.  C.,  May  18,  1864,  and  is 
the  son  of  Honorable  Van  H.  and  Mary  Wallace  Manning.  His 
father  served  in  the  Confederate  Army  during  the  Civil  War  and  at 
its  close  was  Colonel  of  the  Third  Arkansas  Regiment.  The  Man- 
ning family  for  several  generations  lived  in  Mississippi,  and  for  ten 
years  after  the  close  of  the  war  Colonel  Manning  represented  the 
Second  Mississippi  Congressional  district  in  the  lower  house  of  Con- 
gress. He  was  also  an  attorney  of  great  prominence  in  the  state.  L. 
H.  Manning  completed  his  education  at  the  University  of  Missis- 
sippi, and  in  1884  came  to  Arizona  and  located  in  Tucson.  On  his 
arrival  he  took  up  newspaper  work,  and  served  as  reporter  on  both 
the  "Citizen"  and  the  "Star."  For  two  years  he  was  general  man-

\V  H  O     S      WHO 


atrer    of    the    Ice    <Sc    Electric    Company.       Later    he    entered    upon    a 
career  of  mining  and  engaged   in   the  handling  of   real  estate.      His 
mining  operations  comprise  holdings  in   several   districts  in  Arizona 
and   extend    into  old   Mexico,   and   in   both   places  he   has  conducted 
heavy    operations.      During    President    Cleveland's    first    administra- 
tion   Mr.    Manning   was   chief   of   the    Mineral    Department    in    the 
office  of  the  United  States  Survey,  and  in   1893,  at  the  beginning  of 
President  Cleveland's  second  term,  he  was  appointed  Surveyor-Gen- 
eral of  the  same  office,  which  position   he  held   for  four  years,  then 
resigned  owing  to  the  demands  of  his  personal   business.     For  some 
time  he  devoted  the  greater  part  of  his  attention   to  the  opening  of 
mines  in  Sonora,   Mexico.      In    1900  he  purchased  the  general  mer- 
chandise business  of  the  old  Tucson  firm  of  Norton  &  Drake,  which 
was  re-organized  and  has  since  been  known  as  the  L.   H.   Manning 
Company,  of  which   he  is  president  and   manager.      He  has  also  in- 
vested heavily  in  real  estate  and  is  one  of  the  largest  property  holders 
in  Tucson.     In   1905  he  was  elected   Mayor  of  Tucson  by  an  over- 
whelming majority  on  what  was  known  as  an  anti-gambling  ticket. 
Immediately  after  he  assumed  the  office  of  Mayor  there  began  in  the 
city  a  crusade  against  open  gambling,  for  while  the  laws  of  the  terri- 
tory at  the  time  did  not  prohibit  gambling,  the  cities  were  endowed 
with  such  powers  as  enabled  them  to  pass  ordinances  on  the  subject, 
and  the  ordinances  regulating  gambling  which  were  passed   in  Tuc- 
son during  the  administration  of   Mayor  Manning  —  and  rigidly  en- 
forced —  were  so  drastic  that  the  gambling  horses  could  not  carry  the 
load  and  were  compelled  to  get  out  of  business.     When  the  next  ter- 
ritorial legislature  convened  it  passed  laws  making  it  easier  for  cities 
to  elevate  their  standard  in  this  respect  and  other  towns  followed  the 
precedent  established   in  Tucson  during  Mayor  Manning's  adminis- 
tration two  years  previously,  which  had  resulted  in  such  eminent  sat- 
isfaction to  all  the  better  element.     Some  years  ago  he  assumed  con- 
trol of  the  old  street  car  company,  then  using  horse  cars,  and  of  the 
gas  and  electric  company,  re-organized  both  and  turned  them  over  to 
a  syndicate  which  installed  electric  power  for  the  street  car  system, 
and  later  sold   both  to  the  present  owners.     The  Santa  Rita  Hotel, 
the  most  modern  and  best  building  of  its  kind   in  the  southwest,   is 
also  a  product  of  Mr.  Manning's  foresight  and  enterprise.     In  1904, 
in  connection  wTith  Mr.  Epes  Randolph,  president  of  the  A.  E.  R.  R. 
Co.,  and  Mr.  C.  M.  Shannon,  of  the  Shannon  Copper  Company,  he 
built  and  fully  equipped  this  excellent  hostelry,  and  shortly  afterward 
they  sold  the  property  to  the  present  owner  and  proprietor,  Mr.  J.  F. 
laeger.     In  addition  to  his  many  enterprises  of  actual  importance  to 
the  city,  Mr.  Manning  has  been  deeply  interested  for  more  than  ten 
years  in  agricultural  development  in  the  Santa  Cruz  Valley,  particu- 
larly  regarding  water  supply.      He  was  the  owner  of   the   Flowing 
Wells  Ranch  which  he  recently  sold,  together  with  his  water  rights 
in  that  vicinity,  to  the  Tucson  Farms  Company.     The  Santa  Cruz 


IN       A  R  I  /  O  X  A

Reservoir  Company,  the  largest  private  enterprise  ever  attempted  in 
the  southwest,  is  but  another  evidence  of  his  wonderful  initiative. 
This  company  was  organized  by  Mr.  Manning,  Mr.  Randolph,  and 
Mr.  V.  S.  Griffith,  three  residents  of  Tucson,  for  the  purpose  of  im- 
pounding the  flood  v,  aters  of  the  counties  of  Pima  and  Santa  Cruz, 
the  territory  affected  extending  100  miles  north  from  the  Mexican 
line,  and  a  like  distance  from  ea-t  to  west,  and  covering  a  territory  of 
10,000  square  miles.  Colonel  W.  C.  Greene,  of  copper  fame,  later 
loined  the  company,  and  upon  his  death  work  was  temporarily  sus- 
pended. Mr.  Manning  is  one  of  the  most  enthusiastic  workers  and 
boosters  known  in  Tucson,  and  every  enterprise  of  any  moment  in  or 
about  the  city  for  more  than  twenty-five  years  has  been  benefitted 
largely  by  his  influence  and  financial  assistance.  He  is  a  lifelong 
Democrat,  but  with  no  aspirations  to  benefit  by  his  political  affilia- 
tions. In  1897  Mr.  Manning  was  married  to  Miss  Gussie  Lovell, 
a  native  of  San  Jose,  California,  and  daughter  of  Judge  Lovell. 
Their  home,  "Paseo  Redondo,"  somewhat  removed  from  the  heart 
of  the  city,  is,  in  point  of  architecture  and  surroundings,  one  of  the 
most  magnificent  to  be  seen  in  the  southwest,  and  is  one  of  the  many 
beautiful  things  of  which  Tucson  is  justly  boastful. 


MAJOR  A.  J.  DORAN'S  career  in  Arizona  represents  a  period  of 
thirty-seven  years  of  continuous  and  valued  constructive  effort. 
Major  Doran  was  born  in  New  Philadelphia,  Ohio,  in  1840.  At 
the  age  of  three  he  moved  with  his  family  to  Boonville,  Missouri. 
In  1847  the  family  moved  to  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa,  thence  to  Des 
Moines,  and  afterward  to  Boone  County,  where  they  resided  until 
1860.  Major  Doran  received  his  education  in  the  public  schools 
and  the  Wesleyan  University,  Mt.  Pleasant,  Iowa.  His  maternal 
grandfather.  Colonel  John  Cribbs,  served  in  the  Revolution,  and  his 
paternal  grandfather  was  a  soldier  in  the  War  of  1812.  Traveling 
West  in  1860,  Major  Doran  first  settled  in  Colorado,  where  he  en- 
gaged in  mining  and  as  delivery  clerk  in  the  express  office  of  Hinkley 
&  Company.  From  1861  to  1864  he  served  as  a  volunteer  in  the 
Fifth  California  Infantry,  and  in  1862,  as  a  soldier  in  this  regiment, 
he  first  entered  Arizona,  at  Yuma,  under  General  Carleton.  The 
regiment  marched  through  Arizona,  New  Mexico  and  Texas,  and 
was  finally  disbanded  at  Mesilla,  New  Mexico,  whereupon  Major 
Doran  moved  to  California,  and  thence  to  Canyon  City,  Oregon, 
where  he  followed  mining.  Returning  to  California  and  Nevada, 
he  engaged  as  a  bridge  builder  with  the  Central  Pacific  Railway, 
then  building  from  San  Francisco  east  to  connect  with  the  Union 
Pacific  at  Ogden,  and  was  present  when  the  last  spike  wras  driven  at 
Promontory,  Utah,  in  1869.  Since  1876  Major  Doran  has  made 
his  home  continuously  in  Arizona.  During  the  earlier  years  of  his 
residence  in  the  Territory  he  resided  in  Final  County,  devoting  much1 
of  his  time  to  mining,  largely  as  a  mill  builder.  In  1881  he  super- 


\V  H  0     S       \V  H  O 


Major   A.    J.    Doran 

intended  the  construction  of  the  reduction  works  of  the  Silver  King 
at  Final,  one  of  the  foremost  mines  of  the  Territory.  Upon  the  com- 
pletion of  this  work  he  was  made  Superintendent.  Prescott  has  been 
his  home  since  1895,  and  in  Yavapai  County  he  is  still  largely  inter- 
ested in  mining  projects,  to  which  he  has  since  given  his  undivided 
attention.  No  man  in  Arizona  has  been  more  prominently  identified 
with  its  political  history  than  Major  A.  J.  Doran.  He  was  first 
elected  to  the  llth  Territorial  Legislature  in  1880,  and  served  in 
that  year  and  in  1881  ;  was  next  elected  to  the  House  of  the  14th 
Legislature  from  Final  County;  served  two  years  as  member  of  the 
Territorial  Board  of  Equalization;  was  member  of  Council  of  16th 
and  17th  Legislatures,  and  in  the  18th  served  as  a  member  of  the 
Council  at  large,  and  was  chosen  President  of  the  upper  house  at  that 
session.  Governor  Irwin  appointed  him  Lieutenant  Colonel  First 
Regiment  National  Guard  of  Arizona,  and  he  held  that  honored 
position  for  seven  vears.  In  1904  Major  Doran  was  appointed 


I  N      A  R  I  Z  O  N  A  '° 

President  of  the  Board  of  Managers  for  Arizona  to  the  Louisiana 
Purchase  Exposition  in  St.  Louis.  He  was  elected  member  of  the 
Council  of  the  24th  Legislature,  from  Yavapai  County,  and  again 
served  as  its  President.  In  this  session  Major  Doran  introduced  the 
bill  providing  for  an  Arizona  Pioneer  Home,  at  Prescott,  which 
passed  both  houses  unanimously,  but  failed  to  receive  the  Governor's 
approval.  The  25th  Legislature,  however,  passed  the  bill,  Governor 
Kibbey  signed  it  and  appointed  Major  Doran  superintendent  of  con- 
struction, and  after  the  completion  of  the  building  he  retained  this 
office  until  1912.  He  was  Republican  candidate  for  Delegate  to 
Congress  in  1896,  but  was  defeated  owing  to  the  strong  feeling  for 
Free  Silver  then  prevalent  in  the  Territory.  Major  Doran  is  at 
present  forwarding  mining  projects,  being  owner  of  several  in  Yavapai 
County. 


DWIOHT  B.  HEARD  was  born  in  Boston,  Mass.,  in  1869,  of  an  old 
New  England  family,  his  ancestors  having  lived  as  tanners  in  the 
little  NewT  England  village  of  Wayland,  fourteen  miles  east  of  Bos- 
ton, for  over  200  years.  They  were  prominently  identified  with  the 
history  of  New  England  and  the  Revolutionary  movement ;  one  of 
them  served  as  a  member  of  the  first  Colonial  Congress  at  Salem 
and  others  were  among  the  minute  men  who  drove  the  British  back 
from  Concord.  Mr.  Heard  was  educated  in  the  schools  of  Brookline, 
Mass.,  and  at  the  age  of  seventeen  entered  the  employ  of  Hibbard, 
Spencer,  Bartlett  &  Company  of  Chicago,  with  which  firm  he  re- 
mained until  1894  when,  broken  in  health  through  overwook,  he 
came  west  to  recuperate.  At  the  time  of  leaving  the  employ  of  Hib- 
bard, Spencer,  Bartlett  &  Company  Mr.  Heard  had  full  charge  of 
all  their  northwestern  credit  business.  In  an  effort  to  regain  his 
health  Mr.  Heard  spent  some  time  on  the  large  cattle  ranch  of  the 
X  I  T  Company  in  the  Panhandle  of  Texas  and  in  1895  came  to 
the  Salt  River  Valley,  and  purchased  a  ranch  west  of  Phoenix,  where 
he  shortly  regained  perfect  health,  and  since  that  time  he  has  been 
actively  interested  in  the  development  of  Arizona.  He  has  secured 
the  investment  of  a  large  amount  of  eastern  money  in  Salt  River 
Valley  property  both  in  the  way  of  investments  and  loans  on  prop- 
erty and  in  eighteen  years  business  has  never  lost  a  dollar  placed  in 
his  hands  for  investment  by  a  client.  As  Mr.  Heard  during  this 
period  has  invested  many  millions  of  dollars  for  eastern  clients  he 
naturally  takes  considerable  pride  in  this  record.  In  addition  to  his 
business  interests,  loans  and  investments,  Mr.  Heard  has  always 
taken  a  keen  interest  in  public  affairs.  He  was  one  of  the  water 
storage  commissioners  of  Maricopa  County  who  did  all  the  prelimi- 
nary work  incidental  to  the  construction  of  the  Roosevelt  Dam  by 
the  United  States  government.  He  has  always  taken  an  active  in- 
interest  in  national  irrigation  and  has  been  officially  connected  with  the 
National  Irrigation  Congress  for  many  years.  He  was  for  a  number

of  years  president  of  the  Arizona  Cattle  Growers'  Association  and 
is  now  vice  president  of  the  American  National  Live  Stock  Associa- 
tion, and  he  has  been  active  in  formulating  and  carrying  to  a  success- 
ful conclusion  the  forestry  protection  and  range  conservation  policies 
of  the  organization.  He  also  served  as  vice  president  of  the  Phoenix 
Board  of  Trade  for  some  time  and  for  many  years  as  chairman  of 
their  finance  committee.  He  is  now  president  of  the  Maricopa 
County  Non-Partisan  Tax  Payers'  League.  He  was  one  of  the 
original  members  of  the  First  Conservation  Congress  held  at  the 
White  House  and  has  for  many  years  been  a  friend  and  supporter  of 
both  Theodore  Roosevelt  and  Gifford  Pinchot.  Mr.  Heard  was 
one  of  the  most  vigorous  opponents  of  the  proposed  joint  statehood 
with  New  Mexico  and  as  chairman  of  the  non-partisan  committee  of 
thirty  citizens  who  went  to  Washington  to  fight  this  measure  when 
before  congress,  carried  on  the  successful  fight  which  resulted  in  the 
passage  of  the  Foraker  amendment,  eventually  defeating  the  passage 
of  the  joint  statehood  bill.  He  was  one  of  the  fifty-three 
men  in  the  nation  who  signed  the  call  for  the  Progressive 
convention  at  Chicago  last  summer,  thus  establishing  the  Pro- 
gressive party  as  a  national  party  ;  is  a  strong  supporter  of 
the  Progressive  cause,  and  was  one  of  the  presidential  electors  nomi- 
nated by  the  Progressive  party  of  Arizona  in  the  campaign  of  1912. 
As  vice  president  and  general  manager  of  the  Bartlett-Heard  Land 
&  Cattle  Company  he  has  developed  what  is  believed  to  be  one  of  the 
finest  alfalfa  feeding  ranches  in  the  world,  and  through  the  recent 
purchase  by  himself  and  associates  of  the  Arizona  Republican,  is  now 
president  and  manager  of  that  paper,  which  is  run  as  an  independent 
Progressive  journal  and  is  the  only  paper  in  Arizona  published  every 
day  in  the  year.  Mr.  Heard  is  a  member  of  the  Sons  of  the  Ameri- 
can Revolution,  and  is  actively  interested  in  athletics  and  an  ardent 
fisherman.  In  1894  he  married  Maie  P.  Bartlett  of  Chicago,  who  is 
equally  interested  with  him  in  various  public  spirited  works.  They 
have  one  child,  Bartlett  Bradford  Heard,  now  fourteen  years  of  age. 
They  reside  just  north  of  the  city  of  Phoenix  where  their  love  for 
growing  things  is  shown  in  the  attractive  grounds  surrounding  their 
home. 


BURT  DUXLAP,  a  resident  of  Arizona  the  past  thirty-one  years, 
during  which  he  has  dealt  extensively  and  with  corresponding  success 
in  cattle  and  stock  raising,  mining  and  ranching,  is  one  of  the  best 
known  business  men  in  the  State.  Mr.  Dunlap  was  born  in  Niles, 
Ohio,  in  1858,  attended  the  public  schools  of  that  city,  and  at  the 
age  of  sixteen  entered  Thiel  College,  Greenville,  Pennsylvania,  from 
which  he  was  graduated  in  1879  with  the  degree  of  A.  B.,  and  later 
received  the  degree  of  A.  M.  He  then  began  the  study  of  law  in 
Greenville,  but  after  a  time  decided  to  map  for  himself  a  different 
future,  and  in  January,  1882,  came  to  Arizona,  and  first  engaged

Burt  Dunlap

in  cattle  raising  near  Fort  Grant,  in  the  Aravaipa  Valley.  In  this 
he  was  very  successful  from  a  financial  viewpoint,  as  well  as  having 
earned  a  reputation  for  thorough  knowledge  of  the  business.  Mr. 
Dunlap  was  one  of  the  many  stock  men  who  lost  heavily  through 
Apache  depredations,  and  on  one  occasion  his  foreman  and  another 
man  in  his  employ  were  killed  by  the  Apaches.  He  was  for  a  time 
government  contractor,  furnishing  supplies  to  the  various  military 
posts  in  Southern  Arizona,  and  later  made  his  home  successively  in 
Willcox  and  Tucson.  For  some  time  he  was  deeply  interested  in  the 
development  of  a  mine  in  Cochise  County,  which  produced  in  paying 
quantities  copper,  lead  and  silver,  and  owned  a  number  of  claims  in 
the  same  locality  in  the  Dragoon  Mountains.  In  political  matters 
Mr.  Dunlap  is  a  progressive  Republican,  and  at  the  hands  of  his 
party  he  has  been  the  recipient  of  many  positions  of  trust  and  honor, 
in  all  of  which  he  has  an  excellent  record.  In  Graham  County  he 
was  twice  elected  member  of  the  Territorial  Council  and  County 
Commissioner,  and  Probate  Judge  in  Yuma  County.  During  his 
legislative  service  he  stood  uncompromisingly  for  woman  suffrage, 
and  in  the  18th  legislature  his  vote  defeated  the  effort  to  abolish  the 
office  of  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  for  the  Territorv. 
During  both  sessions  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Educa- 
tion, and  was  particularly  active  in  his  efforts  toward  the  founding 
and  upbuilding  of  the  University  of  Arizona.  He  was  also  Chair- 
man of  the  Live  Stock  Sanitary  Board  during  Governor  Murphy's 
administration.  In  1896  he  was  delegate  to  the  convention  at  St. 
Louis  that  nominated  William  McKinley  for  President,  and  his  many 
friends  in  Arizona  were  disappointed  that  he  was  not  appointed  Ter- 
ritorial Governor  in  the  place  of  Governor  McCord.  Mr.  Dunlap 
has  recently  joined  forces  with  the  Progressive  party,  but  is  no  longer 
so  actively  interested  in  political  affairs  as  formerly,  his  entire  atten- 
tion being  required  in  his  personal  business,  consisting  of  cattle,  land, 
irrigation  and  mining.  He  has  always  been  found  in  the  first  column 
of  progressive  movements  as  a  State  builder,  and  made  a  record  which 
is  part  of  the  history  of  the  Territory  and  State  of  Arizona.  He 
makes  his  home  on  the  famous  "Dunlap  Ranch,"  known  throughout 
the  country  because  of  its  portrayal  by  Augustus  Thomas  in  his  popu- 
lar play,  "Arizona,"  which  was  written  in  the  immediate  vicinity  of 
the  ranch,  and  the  scenes  of  three  acts  of  \vhich  are  laid  at  the  "Dun- 
lap  Ranch,"  situated  just  thirty-two  miles  from  Fort  Grant. 

Mr.  Dunlap  was  married  August  4,  1896,  to  Miss  Jessie  Ballance, 
of  Peoria,  Illinois.  Mrs.  Dunlap  is  the  daughter  of  Charles  and 
Fannie  Greene  Ballance,  and  a  descendant  of  a  long  line  of  patriotic 
ancestors,  among  whom  are  General  Nathaniel  Greene,  and  General 
John  Ballance,  an  uncle.  The  latter  was  an  officer  in  the  regular 
army  for  many  years,  and  distinguished  himself  in  the  Indian  wars. 
In  recognition  of  illustrious  services  in  the  Philippines,  General  Bal- 
lance was  commissioned  Brigadier  General  and  appointed  Governor 


WHO      S      WHO 


of  the  northern  provinces  of  Lu/.on.  Her  grandfather,  Judge 
Charles  Ballance,  raised  the  first  regiment  of  Peoria  volunteers  for 
the  Civil  War,  and  at  the  same  time  her  father  resigned  as  navnl 
cadet  to  enter  the  army.  Her  grandfather  also  assisted  in  the  forma- 
tion of  the  Republican  party,  and  was  for  years  a  close  personal  friend 
of  Abraham  Lincoln.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Dunlap  have  two  sons,  Gordon 
Hallance  and  Stuart  Burt,  now  high  school  students  and  in  prepara- 
tion for  a  University  course. 


CHARLES  E.  HEATH,  Official  Photographer  of  "WHO'S  WHO  iv 
ARIZONA."  though  established  in  the  State  less  than  a  year,  has 
probably  as  wide  a  business  acquaintance  as  the  oldest  inhabitant, 
and  is,  beyond  question,  one  of  Arizona's  most  sincere  and  ardent 

boosters.  Mr.  Heath 
has  studios  in  Phoenix 
and  Tucson,  between 
which  his  time  is  about 
equally  divided,  and  by 
means  of  which  he  has 
tendered  to  the  people 
of  Arizona  an  opportu- 
nity of  securing  at 
home  a  quality  of  pho- 
tographic workmanship 
which,  from  an  artistic 
or  mechanical  point  of 
view,  cannot  be  ex- 
celled in  the  most 
widely  known  or  ad- 
vertised studios  of  the 
East.  And  the  people 
of  Arizona  have  been 
keen  to  appreciate  this 
fact  and  quick  to  avail 
themselves  of  the 
chance  to  obtain  a 
grade  of  photography 
never  before  possible  in 
the  Southwest.  Mr. 

Heath  was  born  August  10,  1872,  in  Boston,  within  half  a  dozen 
blocks  of  Bunker  Hill  monument.  He  was  educated  in  Boston,  and 
there  took  up  the  study  of  photography,  and  while  endowed  by  nature 
wTith  the  basic  requisites  for  his  work,  an  artistic  temperament  and 
taste,  he  has  had  also  the  advantages  of  the  best  possible  training  and 
environment  in  which  to  develop  his  talent,  and  the  good  judgment 
to  make  the  most  of  the  opportunity  afforded  him  to  mount  to  the 


I  N      A  R  I  Z  O  N  A  '"' 

summit  of  his  art.  In  1890,  after  having  gained  merely  a  prelimin- 
ary knowledge  of  the  work,  Mr.  Heath  secured  employment  in  the 
studio  of  C.  W.  Hearn,  Boston,  then  one  of  the  leading  photograph- 
ers on  the  Atlantic  Coast,  an  authority  on  the  subject,  and  later 
President  of  the  National  Photographers'  Association.  Mr.  Heath 
was  afterward  employed  in  the  Dana  studio,  Brookline,  under  the 
celebrated  George  P.  Roberts,  then  generally  recognized  as  the  great- 
est photographer  the  country  had  ever  produced,  and  in  the  five  years 
spent  in  these  studios  he  gained  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  best  in 
photography,  as  did  many  more  of  the  finest  operators  in  the  country. 
In  1895  Mr.  Heath  went  to  Grand  Rapids,  Michigan,  and  started  in 
business  on  his  own  account,  in  what  was  then  the  finest  studio  in  the 
western  part  of  the  State ;  in  the  fall  went  to  the  State  Fair  and  took 
all  the  first  prizes,  and  the  following  winter  at  the  Association  meet- 
ing in  Michigan  took  50  per  cent  of  the  medals  offered  in  a  competi- 
tion in  which  the  entire  State  was  represented.  His  work  done  in  an 
independent  way  had,  therefore,  proven  in  the  beginning  successful  in 
the  extreme,  a  success  which  succeeding  years  have  duplicated  and 
even  increased.  After  more  than  ten  years  passed  in  his  first  field, 
Mr.  Heath,  desiring  a  less  severe  climate,  removed  to  California, 
where  for  several  years  he  met  with  a  similar  degree  of  success,  but 
seeing  a  practically  unclaimed  field  and  more  desirable  climate  in 
Arizona,  which  he  selected  as  the  most  attractive  spot  he  knew,  he 
removed  to  Phoenix  in  October,  1912,  was  soon  established,  and  the 
name  "HEATH"  apparently  a  familiar  one.  Having  been  so  gra- 
ciously received  in  the  Capital  City,  and  indications  seeming  to  war- 
rant a  like  success  in  Arizona's  next  greatest  center,  within  a  few 
months  he  had  opened  his  Tucson  studio.  Mr.  Heath  is  a  member 
of  the  Photographers'  Association  of  America,  and  at  the  last  con- 
vention was  one  of  the  judges.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  Blue 
Lodge  Masons,  a  Chapter  Mason,  Knight  Templar  and  member  of 
the  Mystic  Shrine  and  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.  He  was  married  in 
Grand  Rapids  to  Miss  Ida  A.  Van  Dugteren.  They  have  one  son, 
David  Kendall,  and  have  made  their  permanent  home  in  Phoenix. 


J.  A.  R.  IRVIXE,  member  of  the  House  from  Maricopa  County, 
was  born  in  Woodstock,  New  Brunswick,  November  2,  1859,  but  has 
lived  in  the  United  States  since  he  was  nine  years  old,  having  navi- 
gated to  California  with  his  father,  Edward  Irvine,  in  the  fall  of  1868. 
He  remembers  the  taking  of  a  straw  vote  during  this  voyage  by  the 
passengers  to  learn  whether  the  choice  for  President  of  those  on  board 
was  U.  S.  Grant  or  Horatio  Seymour.  Mr.  Irvine  was  educated  in 
the  public  schools  of  California,  and  later  attended  Heald's  Business 
College  in  San  Francisco.  Mr.  Irvine  has  been  a  resident  of  Arizona 
since  1872,  when  he  located  in  Phoenix;  he  has  been  identified  with 
the  growth  of  the  city  almost  from  its  beginning.  For  about  five  years 
he  was  associated  with  his  father  in  general  merchandise  business.

but  this  having  been  sold  out  in  1882  he  engaged  in  grocery  business 
on  his  own  account.  Mr.  Irvine  is  a  Christian  and  a  Democrat;  is 
a  member  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  South,  and  in  politics 
an  ardent  progressive,  believing  in  a  government  of  the  people,  by  the 
people  and  for  the  people.  As  a  member  of  the  First  State  Legisla- 
ture he  has  worked  hard  for  all  measures  designed  to  benefit  the 
people  at  large ;  he  also  introduced  and  \vas  largely  instrumental  in

He  was  married  September  11,  1878,  to  Miss  Nancy  Gregg.  They 
have  five  sons  and  five  daughters,  as  folows:  Mrs.  F.  W.  Tompkins 
of  San  Diego,  Mrs.  A.  H.  McLellan  and  Mrs.  J.  J.  Mclntosh  of

FRANCIS  ASBURY  JONES,  of  the  Corporation  Commission,  though 
a  resident  of  Arizona  only  since  1905,  has  attained  to  prominence  in 
political  and  official  life.  He  was  one  of  the  Maricopa  delegation  to 
the  Constituional  Convention,  in  which  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Public  Ser- 
vice Corporations.  Mr. 
Jones  was  born  Janu- 
ary 5,  1863,  at  La- 
fayette, Illinois,  was 
educated  in  the  public 
schools  of  that  city, 
Academy  of  Kewau- 
nee,  the  State  Normal 
School  at  Dixon,  and 
took  a  business  course 
in  the  latter  city.  He 
also  learned  telegraphy 
and  entered  the  rail- 
road service  as  opera- 
tor and  station  agent, 
and  later  as  cashier  in 
a  freight  office  in  Illi- 
nois. In  1885  and 
1886  he  was  employed 
by  the  Santa  Fe  Rail- 
road in  the  auditor's 
office  at  Topeka,  Kan- 
sas, and  in  the  latter 
year  removed  to  Cali- 
fornia, where  he  was 
in  their  employ  at 
Santa  Ana,  Los  An- 
geles, Santa  Barbara 
and  Fresno,  serving  as 
station  agent,  travel- 
ing agent,  and  general 
agent.  During  his 
residence  in  California 
he  was  President  of 
Chamber  of  Commerce 
at  Fresno.  During  his 
first  two  years'  resi- 
dence in  Arizona  he  was  general  freight  and  passenger  agent  for  the 
Santa  Fe  at  Prescott,  then  removed  to  Maricopa  County,  and  from 
1907  until  his  election  as  Corporation  Commissioner  in  1911,  he  was 
traffic  manager  of  the  Maricopa  County  Commercial  Club.  Mr. 
Jones  established  the  Arizona  State  Press,  in  Phoenix,  and  served  as

President  of  the  company  for  a  time.  Apart  from  his  regular  occu- 
pation in  the  above  capacities,  he  has  been  variously  interested,  in 
banking,  insurance  and  mining,  and  is  Vice  President  of  the  Final 
Bank  &  Trust  Company,  and  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  West- 
ern Mines  Development  Company.  The  diversity  of  experience 
which  Mr.  Jones  has  had  in  various  States  has  enabled  him  to  form 
a  wise  conception  of  the  possibilities  of  his  position,  and  his  judgment 
in  matters  of  importance  carries  considerable  weight.  Mr.  Jones  is  a 
popular  member  of  the  Masons,  and  Mystic  Shrine,  as  well  as  of  the 
B.  P.  O.  E.  He  married  Miss  Florence  Croff  on  February  23, 
1900,  and  one  son,  Lloyd  F.  Jones,  has  been  born  to  them. 


MICHAEL  GLEN  CUNXIFF,  President  of  the  First  Arizona  State 
Senate,  was  born  in  Boston,  February  7,  1875.  His  father,  Bernard 
Cunniff,  was  one  of  the  well  known  men  of  Boston,  and  his  uncle, 
M.  M.  Cunniff,  was  for  ten  years  Democratic  leader  of  that  city  and 
a  member  of  the  Governor's  Council  of  Massachusetts  during  1888 
and  1889.  Senator  Cunniff  took  A.  B.  and  A.  M.  degrees  from 
Harvard,  and  later  taught  in  that  University  and  the  University  of 
Wisconsin.  He  has  also  been  managing  editor  of  'The  World's 
Work,"  of  New  York.  Mr.  Cunniff  has  made  a  special  study  of 
legal  phraseology.  In  the  Constitutional  Convention  he  was  chosen 
Chairman  of  the  Style,  Revision  and  Compilation  Committee,  and 
throughout  the  State  is  given  much  credit  for  the  clearness  and  terse- 
ness of  this  document,  which  has  gained  for  Arizona  an  enviable  repu- 
tation. Mr.  Cunniff  not  only  did  much  of  the  compiling,  but  revised 
and  edited  the  manuscript  and  incorporated  into  it  ideas  that  have  at- 
tracted favorable  comment  from  the  press  of  the  country.  In  the 
Senate,  Mr.  Cunniff  is  an  indefatigable  worker,  and  in  addition  to 
the  duties  of  his  office  as  President,  he  does  as  much  in  the  committees 
as  any  other  member.  He  is  an  advanced  type  of  progressive  Democ- 
racy, and  no  man  in  Arizona  w7ields  a  greater  or  better  influence  in 
party  workings.  He  is  one  of  the  early  and  ardent  admirers  of 
President  Wilson,  and  has  been  frequently  spoken  of  as  the  Woodrow 
Wilson  of  Arizona.  In  1900  he  was  delegate  to  the  National  Demo- 
cratic Convention,  and  took  a  prominent  part  in  the  deliberations  of 
that  body.  When  he  came  to  Arizona  seven  years  ago,  it  was  said 
that  he  dropped  the  pen  for  the  pick,  and  while  he  continues  to  act  as 
special  writer  for  magazines,  he  has  had  considerable  mining  experi- 
ence during  the  past  seven  years,  having  been  engaged  with  his  brother, 
Bernard,  at  Crown  King.  He  is  President  of  the  Commonwealth 
Exploration  Company,  and  holds  an  interest  in  the  Savoy  Mining 
Company,  a  close  corporation,  and  his  mining  interests  bid  fair  to 
give  him  the  prominence  in  this  particular  that  he  has  attained  in  the 
literary  world.  Cultured,  courteous  and  deliberate,  having  a  wide 
range  of  valuable  experience  and  an  admirable  self-control,  a  man 
more  ideallv  fitted  than  Mr.  Cunniff  to  be  President  of  the  State

Senate  could  hardly  have  been  selected,  and  on  the  convening  of  the 
special  session  of  the  Legislature  early  in  1913  he  was  again  chosen 
for  this  position,  the  choice  having  been  unanimous.  Mr.  Cunniff 
was  married  in  1903  to  Miss  Everesta  Spink,  of  Indianapolis,  a  charm- 
ing woman  and  musician  of  ability.  They  have  two  children,  Hilda 
and  Bernard. 


GEORGE  H.  CHASE,  Senator  from  Greenlee  County,  is  a  veteran 
of  the  Civil  War,  an  absolutely  reliable  business  man,  an  all  around 
booster,  and  one  of  the  most  gentlemanly  and  substantial  citizens  of 
Arizona.  He  \vas  born  in  New  York  in  1843,  and  has  been  a  resi- 
dent of  this  State  since  1898..  While  Senator  Chase  can  hardly  be 
classified  as  a  pioneer,  he  comes  of  a  line  of  pioneers  and  statesmen. 
His  father,  Samuel  P.  Chase,  was  a  well  known  pioneer  of  that  sec- 
tion of  New  York  in  which  the  Senator  was  born,  and  like  his  dis- 
tinguished relative  Salmon  P.  Chase,  of  national  reputation,  was 
known  as  a  progressive,  wide-awake  citizen  whose  word  was  as  good 
as  his  bond.  Since  coming  to  Arizona,  Senator  Chase  has  been  ac- 
tively engaged  in  its  upbuilding,  and  when  Arizona  was  ready  for 
admission  to  the  Lnion,  the  people  of  his  county  united  in  choosing 
him  their  first  representative  in  the  State  Senate,  regardless  of  their 
political  belief,  for,  although  they  knew  him  to  be  a  progressive  Demo- 
crat, they  also  knew  what  manner  of  man  he  is.  George  H.  Chase 
is  a  fighter  and  builder,  and  he  has  aided  in  many  of  the  important 
building  enterprises  of  the  State,  especially  mining  buildings  of  Clifton- 
Morenci  district,  which  bear  the  stamp  of  approval  of  competent 
judges.  Senator  Chase  is  a  Blue  Lodge  Mason  of  more  than  forty 
years'  standing,  and  is  a  member  of  Winnebago  Lodge  No.  33,  of 
Portage,  Wisconsin.  During  the  Civil  War  he  served  three  years 
as  cavalryman  and  was  wounded  three  times,  and  left  the  service  a 
Sergeant-Major  with  two  commissions  in  his  pocket,  neither  of  which 
he  accepted.  Like  his  military  record,  his  record  since  has  been  with- 
out blemish,  the  credit  for  which  he  is  perfectly  willing  to  share  with 
Mrs.  Chase,  who  is  known  throughout  the  Gila  Valley  as  "Aunt 
Maggie,"  where  she  numbers  her  friends  by  her  acquaintances,  and 
her  delight  is  in  doing  good.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Chase  are  a  splendid  and 
interesting  old  couple,  though  George  H.  denies  being  old.  They 
have  two  daughters  and  one  son.  At  the  first  session  of  the  Legislature 
Senator  Chase  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Mines  and  Mining 
and  member  of  five  other  committees,  and  at  the  special  session  was 
Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Education  and  Public  Institutions 
and  member  of  Enrolling  and  Engrossing,  Labor,  Mines  and  Mining, 
Constitutional  Amendments  and  Referendum,  and  Corporations  Com- 
mittees. When  the  First  Legislature  of  Arizona  has  completed  irs 
work,  there  is  no  man  whose  record  as  a  member  will  more  readilv 
prove  up  under  the  searchlight  than  the  "Gentleman  from  Greenlee," 
one  of  the  staunch  sort,  of  whom  the  State  may  well  be  proud.

JAMES  FRAXKLIX  DUXCAX,  Representative  from  Cochise  County, 
and  Commander  of  the  Department  of  Arizona,  G.  A.  R.,  was  born 
in  Philadelphia,  June  15,  1839.  His  father,  John  Duncan,  was  of 
Scotch  descent.  His  mother  was  of  Holland  Dutch  descent,  and  a 
native  of  Pennsylvania.  "Judge"  Duncan,  as  he  is  familiarly  known, 
was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Pennsylvania,  and  also  had  a 
course  in  a  large  Pittsburgh  mercantile  college.  He  later  served  an 
apprenticeship  as  blacksmith,  and  worked  at  the  trade  until  the  Civil 
War  broke  out,  when  he  enlisted  in  Company  A,  46th  Regiment 
Pennsylvania  Volunteers,  served  almost  four  years  and  participated  in 
the  battles  of  Cedar  Mountain,  second  battle  of  Bull  Run,  Antietam, 
Chancellorsville  and  Gettysburg.  In  May,  1864.  he  started  on  the 
Atlanta  campaign  with  General  Sherman,  and  participated  in  every 
battle  of  the  campaign  until  the  fall  of  Atlanta,  September  2,  1864. 
November  15th  the  corps  started  for  Savannah,  arrived  December 
22nd,  and  presented  President  Lincoln  with  that  city  as  a  Yuleide 
gift.  In  January  they  crossed  the  Savannah  to  Pittsburgh  Landing, 
were  at  Raleigh  when  Johnson  surrendered  to  Sherman.  They  then 
started  to  Washington  by  way  of  Richmond,  arrived  in  time  to  parti- 
pate  in  the  grand  review,  and  were  soon  after  discharged.  After  the 
war  he  engaged  in  the  oil  business  in  Clarion  County,  Pennsylvania, 
for  twelve  years.  Mr.  Duncan  came  to  Arizona  in  1879  and  located 
at  Mule  Gulch,  Pima  County,  the  next  year  was  appointed  the  first 
Justice  of  the  Peace,  before  the  city  of  Bisbee  was  located,  and  the 
next  year  was  elected  to  that  office,  which  he  filled  for  eleven  years. 
At  one  time  he  held  eleven  offices  in  the  county,  the  duties  of  all  of 
which  were  conscientiously  performed.  Mr.  Duncan  is  serving  his 
second  term  in  the  Legislature.  He  is  a  progressive  Democrat  and 
has  been  active  in  the  First  State  Legislature  on  various  committees. 
In  the  special  session  he  is  member  of  the  Committee  on  Public  Health 
and  Statistics,  Militia  and  Public  Defense,  and  Suffrage  and  Elections. 
His  appointment  as  Commander  of  the  Arizona  Deparment,  G.  A.  R., 
was  a  complete  surprise  to  Mr.  Duncan,  and  caused  him  for  the 
moment  to  be  nonplussed,  but  his  has  been  an  excellent  administration. 


ALFRED  KIXXEY,  Senator  from  Gila  County,  who  was  also  one 
of  that  County's  representatives  in  the  Constitutional  Convention, 
was  born  in  Greene  County,  Ohio,  January  5,  1856.  He  was  edu- 
cated in  the  public  schols  of  Ohio  and  Iowa,  the  family  having 
removed  to  the  latter  State  in  1866.  Senator  Kinney  has  also  lived 
in  Colorado  and  New  Mexico,  and  came  to  Arizona  in  1881. 
Shortly  after  his  coming  he  erected  a  sawmill  in  the  Pinal  Mountains, 
near  Globe,  and  engaged  in  the  manufacture  of  lumber  and  building. 
He  is  also  owner  of  important  mining  enterprises  in  the  State.  Sen- 
ator Kinney  is  a  progressive  Democrat,  and  though  of  rather  quiet 
demeanor,  has  become  one  of  the  best  known  men  in  the  State,  and 
one  of  its  most  highly  esteemed  citizens.  His  majority  when  elected

Senator  in  the  First  State  Legislature  is  the  most  direct  tribute  his 
fellow  dti/.ens  in  Gila  could  have  shown  him.  He  has  been  active 
in  political  affairs  for  many  years,  has  been  one  of  the  Board  of  Super- 
visors, and  Mayor  of  the  City  of  Globe.  As  member  of  the  first 
session  of  the  Legislature  he  gained  a  reputation  as  a  thorough  worker, 
and  in  that  session  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Constitu- 
tional Amendments  and  member  of  various  others.  In  the  special 
session  Senator  Kinney  is  member  of  the  Appropriation?,  Finance,

HARRY  AUSTIN  DAVIS,  one  of  Maricopa's  representatives  in  the 
First  State  Senate,  is  a  native  of  Nebraska,  and  was  born  November 
23,  1879.  He  is  the  youngest  member  of  the  Senate.  His  father. 
Charles  H.  Davis,  traces  his  ancestry  back  to  the  Pilgrim  Fathers,  and 
his  mother,  formerly  Miss  Angie  Nettie  Friend,  is  also  a  member  of 
a  family  of  pioneers  on  the  Atlantic  Coast.  In  the  early  eighties 
Senator  Davis'  father  met  with  financial  reverses,  and  the  children 
were  therefore  taught  the  rugged  lesson  of  life  in  early  youth.  Harry 
Davis  worked  for  his  education,  and  when  only  fifteen  wTas  graduated 
from  the  Franklin  High  School.  When  quite  young  he  came  to 
Colorado,  where  he  worked  at  prospecting  and  mining  for  three  years, 
but,  having  literary  inclinations,  he  began  writing  special  articles,  and 
was  soon  engaged  regularly  in  newspaper  work.  He  was  editor  of  a 
paper  at  Norton,  Kansas,  and  the  following  year  editor  of  the  Herald, 
Salina,  Kansas.  He  has  also  held  other  positions,  some  of  them  with 
large  Southern  publications,  both  in  the  capacity  of  editor  and  business 
manager.  Senator  Davis  has  an  extremely  analytical  mind,  a  splen- 
did grasp  of  things,  and  wields  a  trenchant  pen  or  makes  a  strong 
speech.  Before  coming  to  Arizona  he  was  well  known  in  political 
life  in  Texas,  Louisiana  and  Arkansas,  as  an  uncompromising  advocate 
of  clean,  progressive  Democratic  politics,  and  though  a  resident  of  this 
State  but  a  few  years,  he  has  been  an  active  wTorker  in  his  party's 
interests,  and  especially  so  in  the  interest  of  Woman  Suffrage,  a  cause 
which  he  did  much  to  further  throughout  the  State,  both  by  working 
and  speaking.  Until  elected  to  his  present  office,  however,  he  was 
not  a  candidate  for  office.  As  Chairman  of  the  Public  Land  Com- 
mittee of  the  Senate,  he  has  influenced  to  a  great  extent  the  legilsation 
relating  thereto.  His  first  position  in  the  State  was  with  the  Bisbee 
Review,  but  he  shortly  removed  to  Phoenix,  where  he  located  perma- 
nently, and  engaged  in  the  publishing  and  printing  business.  Senator 
Davis  was  married  in  December,  1902,  to  Miss  Alice  Greenhalgh,  a 
teacher  and  popular  young  lady  of  Oskaloosa,

to  Silver  City,  where  he  spent  two  years,  and  in  1882  came  to  Globe. 
There  in  a  commercial  and  political  way  he  soon  made  a  place  for

J.  LORENZO  HUBBELL,  Senator  from  Apache  County,  was  born 
November  27,  1853,  in  Pajarrito,  New  Mexico,  while  Arizona  was 
yet  a  portion  of  that  Territory.  Being  a  born  and  bred  Westerner, 
the  freedom  of  the  pioneer  life  on  the  plains  could  not  but  appeal 
to  the  boy,  in  whose  veins  coursed  the  blood  of  the  Vikings,  for 
Senator  Hbubell  is  a  lineal  descendant  of  one  of  the  virile  Danes  who 
centuries  ago  wrested  part  of  England  from  Alfred  the  Great.  His 
maternal  ancestors  came  from  Toledo,  Spain,  three  generations  ago, 
and  settled  in  New  Mexico.  Lorenzo  Hubbell  is  a  true  disciple  of 
his  illustrious  forbears,  strong  and  vigorous  of  body,  manly  and  indi- 
vidual in  character,  quick  and  keen  of  mind,  and  just  and  generous 
of  soul.  Practically  his  whole  life  has  been  spent  in  Arizona;  her 
interests  are  his  interests,  a  fact  that  has  evidently  been  appreciated 
by  his  fellow  citizens  in  Apache,  since  they  have  on  various  occasions 
made  him  their  choice  for  official  position's.  Twice  they  have  elected 
him  to  the  office  of  Sheriff,  and  in  1893  to  the  Council  of  the  Terri- 
torial Legislature,  and  in  1912  made  him  their  Senator  in  the  First 
State  Legislature.  He  has  also  been  Chairman  of  the  State  Repub- 
lican Central  Committee.  Senator  Hubbell  is  a  notable  example  of 
the  successful,  self-made,  self-educated  man,  and  although  his  early 
education  consisted  of  only  nineteen  months'  schooling,  there  are  few 
more  generally  well  informed  in  literature  or  current  events  than 
Senator  Hubbell;  few  who  have  a  better  command  of  language,  or 
a  keener  insight  into  the  problems  of  the  day,  and  it  is  his  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  trend  of  affairs  that  has  made  him  a  valuable  mem- 
ber of  the  State  Legislature.  He  is  a  leading  merchant  and  Indian 
trader  in  Apache,  and  a  prominent  and  life  member  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E. 
throughout  the  nation.  He  was  married  in  June,  1879,  to  Miss 
Lina  Rubic,  and,  together  with  their  four  children,  Adela,  Barbara, 
Lorenzo  and  Roman,  they  occupy  one  of  the  finest  houses  in  Arizona, 
a  model  of  good  taste, which  contains  a  carefully  selected  library  and 
rare  paintings,  some  of  which  were  brought  by  Senator  Hubbell's 
mother  from  Spain.  And  at  all  times  is  this  home  thrown  open  to 
Senator  Hubbell's  friends,  who  are  attracted  thither  by  his  genial  per- 
sonality. He  is  a  Republican  in  politics  and  member  of  the  minority

FRED  S.  BREEX,  Senator  from  Coconino  County  in  the  First  State 
Legislature,  was  born  March  20,  1869,  at  Manteno,  Illinois.  He 
received  his  early  education  in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  State, 
and  lived  there  until  1898.  He  served  as  Private  Secretary  to  the 
Speaker  of  the  Illinois  House  of  Representative,  and  as  business  man- 
ager of  the  Eastern  Illinois  Hospital  for  the  Insane  at  Kankakee  dur- 
ing the  years  1896  and  1897.  On  coming  to  Arizona  he  settled  in 
Flagstaff  and  for  ten  years,  1898  to  1908,  held  the  position  of  United 
States  Forest  Supervisor,  in  charge  of  all  the  national  forests  of  im- 
portance in  northern  Arizona.  Senator  Breen  was  elected  to  repre- 
sent his  county  in  the  Twenty-fifth  Territorial  Legislature  as  member 
of  the  Council,  but  held  no  other  political  office  in  the  State  until  his 
election  in  the  fall  of  1911  to  the  First  State  Senate.  He  is  a  member 
of  the  Code,  Muncipal  Corporation,  State  Accounting  and  Methods 
of  Business  Committees,  and  a  hard  and  capable  committee  worker. 
Senator  Breen  is  a  journalist  by  profession,  and  is  owner  of  the 
"Coconino  Sun,"  of  Flagstaff.  He  is  a  man  whose  merits  are  gener- 
ally recognized  both  in  business  and  politics,  and  one  of  Coconino's 
leading  citizens.  He  is  Lieutenant  Colonel  of  the  First  Regular 
Arizona  Infantry.  In  June,  1906,  Senator  Breen  was  married  at

WILLIAM  WHIPPLE,  member  of  the  First  State  Legislature,  was 
born  in  Provo  City,  Utah,  March  12,  1854,  and  is  son  of  Edson  and 
Mary  Ann  Yeager  Whipple,  pioneers  of  Utah.  His  ancestry  for 
generations  is  distinctly  American,  the  first  members  of  the  family  in 
this  country  having  come  from  England  in  1630  and  settled  in  the 
Massachusetts  Bay  Colony.  William  Whipple,  signer  of  the  Declara- 
tion of  Independence,  who  also  commanded  Continental  troops  at  the 
Battle  of  Saratoga,  belonged  to  this  family,  as  did  Bishop 
\Vhipple,  who  was  Bishop  of  the  Episcopal  Church  in  Minnesota 
for  many  years.  Fort  Whipple,  Arizona,  was  named  after  another 
member  who  was  adjutant  general  in  the  Mexican  War.  Though 
the  ground  work  of  Mr.  Whipple's  education  was  received  in  the 
schools  of  Provo,  and  '  he  spent  some  time  in  the  University 
of  Provo,  he  has  been  largely  self-educated  by  diligent  reading 
and  study.  Like  all  men  of  the  West  in  early  days,  he  was  a  man 
of  many  parts,  whose  thorough  development  has  been  the  result  of 
pioneer  hardships.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1876,  first  located  on  the 
Little  Colorado,  and  in  1883  settled  in  Graham  County,  where  for 
ten  years  he  taught  in  the  public  schools,  most  of  the  time  in 
Pima.  He  then  removed  to  Clifton,  his  present  home,  where  he

conducted  a  dairy  for  twelve  years  with  much  success,  later  extended 
his  interests  and  developed  a  farm  near  Pima,  where  he  now  owns 
240  acres  of  excellent  land,  150  of  which  are  under  cultiva- 
tion. The  Crystal  Water  Company  of  Clifton  is  another 
of  his  business  enterprises.  Mr .  Whipple  has  also  met  with 
much  success  in  the  mining  industry.  Until  elected  to  the  House  he 
held  no  political  office  other  than  Justice  of  the  Peace  and  School 
Trustee,  but  his  progressive  and  reform  principles  are  well  known, 
and  he  is  a  recognized  factor  in  political  life.  In  the  special  session 
held  in  1913  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Public  Health 
and  Statistics,  and  member  of  the  Good  Roads,  Education,  and  Suf- 
frage and  Election  Committees.  He  was  married  in  1876  to  Miss 
Polly  A.  Carter,  and  of  the  nine  children  born  to  them  but  three, 
William  D.,  Flossie  and  Violet,  are  now  living. 


GEORGE  DE  Los  CRAIG,  D.  D.  S.,  and  member  of  the  House  from 
Cochise  County,  is  a  native  of  California,  and  a  descendant  of  pioneers 
of  that  State.  His  ancestors  on  both  sides  crossed  the  plains  in  the 
early  days,  and  were  prominent  in  the  development  of  the  new  West. 
His  father,  W.  P.  Craig,  is  a  prominent  mining  man  of  California. 
Dr.  Craig  is  a  practicing  dentist  in  Bisbee.  He  is  also  interested  in 
mining.  In  the  present  session  of  the  Legislature  he  is  Chairman  of 
the  Committee  on  Banking  and  Insurance,  and  serving  on  the  Judi- 
ciary, Style,  Revision  and  Compilation,  and  State  Institutions  and 
Expenditures  Committees. 


J.  FRED  BROWN,  Senator  from  Final  County,  was  born  on  a  farm 
at  Hartland,  New  York,  June  8,  1875.  He  was  educated  in  the 
public  schools  of  that  State,  spent  two  years  in  High  School,  and  then 
took  a  complete  business  course.  He  taught  school  for  three  years, 
then  entered  the  employ  of  the  New  York  Central  Railroad  at  Gas- 
port,  and  went  from  there  to  Niagara,  where  he  worked  in  the  joint 
yards  of  several  companies.  Mr.  Brown  came  west  by  way  of  Col- 
orado, Wyoming  and  Utah,  working  in  each  State  at  his  regular 
occupation,  railroading,  and  arrived  in  Arizona  August  22,  1901. 
Here  he  entered  the  service  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad  Com- 
pany. He  has  taken  a  prominent  part  in  the  development  of  the  San 
Carlos  or  Casa  Grande  project.  It  is  through  the  efforts  of  a  num- 
ber of  citizens  of  that  vicinity,  of  whom  Senator  Brown  has  been  the 
leader,  that  the  valley  is  soon  to  have  a  dam  similar  to  the  Roosevelt 
dam,  the  work  being  financed  by  private  capital.  Senator  Brown 
was  elected  to  the  First  State  Legislature  by  a  sound  majority,  and 
during  its  session  took  an  active  interest  in  the  labor,  irrigation  and 
land  bills,  and  though  a  member  of  the  minority,  his  influence  in  at- 
taining results  was  of  great  strength.  He  ranks  as  one  of  the  ablest 
men  of  the  Senate  in  committee  work,  and  at  the  special  session  was 
appointed  on  the  following  committees:  Mines  and  Mining,  Public

a  man  of  much  foresight,  and  while  one  of  the  younger  members  of  the

JOHN  HEXRY  WILLIS,  Senator  from  Navajo  County,  is  the  son 
of  John  Henry  Willis,  a  pioneer  of  Utah  and  Arizona,  and  wTas  born 
in  the  latter  State  May  15,  1858.  His  mother  is  a  native  of  England. 
His  grandfather,  William  Wesley  Willis,  served  in  the  United  States 
Army  during  the  War  with  Mexico  as  Lieutenant  in  the  Mormon 
Battalion,  with  whom  he  went  from  the  Missouri  River  to  New 
Mexico.  In  1847  he  was  honorably  discharged,  and,  returning  to 
his  home  in  Illinois,  he  removed  his  family  to  Utah.  Senator  Willis 
was  educated  in  Utah  and  remained  there  until  1878,  when  he  came 
to  Arizona  with  his  father  in  January,  but  later  returned  to  Utah 
and  in  November  of  that  year  he  was  married  to  Miss  Fanny  Jane 
Rourdy,  whose  father  was  a  member  of  the  Utah  Legislature.  The

next  year  they  came  to  Arizona  and  made  their  home  at  Snow-flake, 
then  Apache  County,  where  he  has  since  resided  and  has  been  variously 
engaged  in  farming,  stock  raising  and  mercantile  affairs.  He  has 
also  been  United  States  mail  and  transportation  contractor  from 
Holbrook  to  Fort  Apache,  and  hay  and  grain  contractor  at  Fort 
Apache.  He  was  nominated  for  Probate  Judge  of  Apache,  but 
defeated  at  the  election,  and  in  1894  was  elected  Supervisor.  The 
next  year  the  county  was  divided,  and  Snowflake,  his  home,  incorpor- 
ated in  the  new  Navajo  County,  and  the  same  year  Governor  L.  C. 
Hughes  appointed  him  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  in  the 
new  county.  He  was  afterwards  elected  to  this  office  for  the  follow- 
ing two  terms.  In  1908  he  was  nominated  for  member  of  the  Assem- 
bly in  the  Territorial  Legislature,  but  declined  to  run  for  the  office 
because  his  business  affairs  demanded  his  presence.  His  friends 
again  nominated  him  as  theii  representative  in  the  First  State  Senate 
of  Arizona,  and  he  was  elected  by  a  majority  which  showed  beyond 
question  that  he  was  the  man  for  this  honor,  and  his  record  in  the 
Senate  has  demonstrated  his  fitness  in  this  respect.  In  the  special 
session  he  was  member  of  the  committees  on  Counties  and  County 
Affairs,  Municipal  Corporations,  Labor,  Educational  and  Public  In- 
stitutions, and  Suffrage  and  Elections.  Senator  Willis  is  the  father 
of  eleven  children,  all  born  in  Arizona,  and  ten  of  whom  are  still 
living  here,  five  sons  and  five  daughters.  He  also  has  eight  grand- 
children, all  of  whom  are  natives  of  this  State. 


SAM  BLAIN  BRADNER.  of  Cochise  County,  Speaker  of  the 
House  during  the  regular  session  of  the  First  State  Legislature,  was 
born  in  Wanvick,  New  V  )rk,  June  28,  1869.  He  was  educated  in 
the  public  schools  and  at  Warwick  Institute.  His  first  job  was  as 
printer's  devil  on  the  Warwick  Valley  Dispatch.  This  he  soon  left, 
however,  to  go  into  the  dry  goods  business,  but  owing  to  ill  health 
he  was  obliged  to  seek  outdoor  employment,  and  he  secured  work  as 
brakeman.  Mr.  Bradner  spent  some  time  in  the  army  during  the 
Spanish-American  War,  in  the  Sixth  Massachusetts  Volunteers,  and 
saw  active  service  in  Porto  Rico.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1905,  and 
was  first  employed  by  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad.  All  his  life  a 
consistent  Democrat,  and  a  party  worker,  he  first  attained  prominence 
in  Arizona  in  August,  1910,  when  he  was  nominated  by  the  Cochise 
County  Convention  as  delegate  to  the  Constitutional  Convention,  and 
the  fact  that  his  opponent  was  a  wealthy  mining  and  cattle  man  did 
not  seem  to  have  any  bearing  on  the  vote,  as  Mr.  Bradner  secured 
the  nomination.  His  next  political  honor  was  in  the  fall  ot  1911, 
when  he  was  elected  one  of  Cochise  County's  representatives  in  the 
First  State  Legislature,  and  by  the  House  was  chosen  its  Speaker.  At 
the  special  session  in  the  spring  of  1913  he  wras  defeated  for  the  Speak-- 
ership  by  but  one  vote.  Mr.  Bradner  is  a  descendant  of  John  Brad-

in  the  Revolution,  while  on  his  father's  side  he  is  a  descendant  of 
Major  Howe,  who  gained  distinction  during  the  War  of  1812.  Mrs. 
Bradner,  formerly  Miss  Bessie  L.  Gay,  is  also  a  native  of  Massachu- 
setts, and  a  descendant  of  an  old  Puritan  family.  They  were  married 
at  Franklin,  Massachusetts,  March  28,  1901.  Mr.  Bradner  as  a

placing  Maricopa  in  the  Democratic  column  in  the  election  of  the 
first  State  officials  and  lawmakers  and  in  sending  an  undivided  delega 
tion  to  the  First  State  Legislature.  Mr.  Babbitt  has  been  a  resident

son  of  James  and  Anna  Martin  Kane.  In  1873  his  parents  removed 
to  Nebraska,  then  very  sparsely  settled,  and  there  his  childhood  was 
spent  with  only  Sioux  Indians  for  playmates.  From  them  he  thor-

SIDNEY  F.  MASHBIR,  Chief  Draughtsman  of  the  City  Engineering 
Department,  was  born  in  New  York  City  September  12,  1891. 
He  is  the  son  of  E.  S.  Mashbir,  a  native  of  Russia,  who  was  educated 
and  studied  law  in  his  native  country,  and  was  the  first  Russian- 
speaking  attorney  admitted  to  practice  in  New  York  City.  A  man  of 
scholarly  attainments,  and  possessing  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the 
law,  at  the  age  of  twenty-seven  he  held  a  chair  in  the  University  of 
Moscow,  the  second  largest  university  in  Russia.  On  coming  to 
this  country  he  held  the  chair  of  languages  in  the  University  of  South 
Dakota,  the  first  one  to  occupy  that  position.  In  New  York  he 
soon  built  up  an  extensive  practice  in  law,  especially  among  the  people 
of  his  own  nationality,  but  as  a  result  of  overwork  his  system  became 
entirely  broken  down,  and  with  the  hope  of  restoring  his  health,  the 
family  removed  to  Arizona  in  1899  and  located  in  Safford,  which  is 
still  their  home.  There  Sidney  attended  the  public  schools,  and  com- 
pleted the  course  at  the  age  of  twelve.  He  has  since  attended  the 
University  of  Arizona,  where  he  studied  engineering  and  took  special 
work,  but  attended  school  only  six  months  each  year,  the  remaining 
six  having  been  devoted  to  the  practical  part  of  engineering  and  the 
accumulation  of  funds  to  defray  expenses.  Although  only  in  his 
twenty-second  year,  Mr.  Mashbir  is  one  of  the  most  enterprising, 
thorough  and  alert  business  men  to  be  found,  and  in  addition  to  his 
duties  on  the  City  Engineering  force,  with  which  he  has  been  con- 
nected for  tAvo  years,  has  had  professional  connections  with  various 
railroads  in  New  Mexico,  Colorado  and  Arizona,  was  draftsman  for 
the  Tucson  Farms  Company,  engineer  in  charge  of  reconnoissance 
for  the  G.  V^.  E.  L.  &  W.  P.  company,  and  has  directed  work  on 
various  engineering  projects  in  Southern  Arizona.  He  is  particularly 
interested  in  military  matters,  was  First  Lieutenant  and  Adjutant  of 
the  University  Battalion,  and  is  now  an  officer  in  Company  K, 
National  Guard  of  Arizona.  He  is  also  a  musician  of  unusual  talent. 
Mr.  Mashbir  will  be  married  in  Los  Angeles  September  12th  to  Miss 
Blanche  Beckwith,  daughter  of  C.  L.  Beckwith,  formerly  Chief  En

THE  SAGINAW  &  MANISTEE  LUMBER  COMPANY,  of  Williams,  is 
one  of  the  most  important  manufacturing  concerns  in  the  State,  and 
their  large  pay  roll  adds  materially  to  the  prosperity  of  the  northern 
section  of  the  State.  The  trees  from  the  forest  are  taken  to  the  great 
mill  at  Williams,  and  here  lumber  and  timbers  are  manufactured 
from  the  bodies  of  the  trees  while  the  by  products  of  the  mill,  made 
from  the  scraps,  are  also  an  important  feature.  Box  shocks  and  lath 
are  the  most  important  of  the  by  products.  Besides  the  lumber  and 
timber,  the  mill  turns  out  large  quantities  of  the  finest  quality  of 
siding,  ceiling,  flooring,  moulding,  stulls,  lagging,  piling,  mining  tim-

GEORGE  E.  TRUMAX,  Assessor  of  Final  County  and  Vice-President 
of  the  State  Assessors'  Association,  is  a  native  of  the  Empire  State, 

having  been  born  in  Sauquoit,  N.  Y. 
His  parents  were  also  natives  of 
New  York  State,  and  his  ancestors 
residents  of  that  section  for  several 
generations,  having  been  among  the 
pioneers  who  took  an  important  part 
in  the  early  development  of  the 
State.  George  Truman  attended 
the  public  schools  of  his  home  town 
and  was  graduated  from  Sauquoit 
Academy.  Since  coming  to  Arizona 
Mr.  Truman  has  been  interested  in 
mining  and  was  one  of  the  pioneers 
of  the  Final  mining  district.  He  is 
also  interested  in  irrigation,  and  has 
done  much  toward  getting  water  for 
the  fertile  acres  about  Florence. 
Always  a  consistent  Democrat  he 
has  been  a  factor  in  the  party, 
though  he  took  but  little  part  in  the 
official  life  of  the  State  until  he  was 
nominated  for  the  office  of  County 
Assessor,  and  the  number  of  votes 
he  received  in  competition  with  one 
of  the  strongest  candidates  on  the 
Republican  county  ticket,  shows  his 
standing  among  his  fellow  citizens.  Mr.  Truman  was  a  member  of 
Troop  B,  First  Vol.  Cav.,  three  troops  of  said  calvary,  A,  B,  and  C, 
being  from  Arizona,  the  regiment  being  more  commonly  known  as  the 
Rough  Rider  Regiment.  Previous  to  the  return  of  the  troops  the 
newspapers  in  the  Territory  claimed  the  distinction  for  Arizona  that 
Truman  of  B  Troop  was  the  first  American  soldier  on  the  Heights  of 
San  Juan.  On  the  return  of  the  troops  this  statement  was  verified  by 
Middleton,  Owens  and  Sergeant  Norton  of  B  Troop,  wTho  were  along 
with,  and  close  to,  Truman  at  the  time  the  ascent  was  made.

essee. Mr.  Pirtle  was  born  in  Clarkesville,  was  educated  in  the 
public  schools,  and,  having  been  graduated  from  the  High  School, 
entered  Vanderbilt  University.  He  came  west  in  1885,  and  on  his 
way  to  California  stopped  in  Tucson.  He  spent  some  years  in  Cali- 
fornia, and  in  1901  returned  to  Arizona  and  was  one  of  the  pioneers 
of  the  City  of  Douglas,  the  population  of  which  was  less  than  one 
hundred  when  he  located  there,  and  there  were  only  thirteen  houses.

Soon  engaging  in  business,  Mr.  Pirtle  met  with  success,  and  his  busi- 
ness has  continued  to  increase,  keeping  pace  with  the  growth  of  the 
town,  and  he  now  is  owner  of  the  leading  real  estate  business  in 
the  city.  Mr.  Pirtle  was  the  first  United  States  Commissioner  at 
Douglas.  He  was  a  member  of  the  Fair  Commission  during  Governor 
Sloan's  administration,  and  tendered  his  resignation  in  this  capacity 
before  the  expiration  of  the  term,  owing  to  the  demands  of  his  personal 
affairs,  but  the  Governor  declined  to  accept  it.  Mr.  Pirtle  was 
married  in  1896  at  Florence,  Alabama,  to  Miss  Fannie  Irvine,  daugh- 
ter of  Judge  Irvine.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Masons  and  B.  P.  O.  E.

afforded  the  traveling  public  making  a  visit  to  that  city,  and  for  the 
especial  convenience  of  employes  of  the  Copper  Queen  Company. 


Copper  Queen  Hotel 

The  hotel  is  situated  in  the  central  part  of  Bisbee,  convenient  to  all 
sections.  It  is  conducted  on  the  European  plan,  and  has  about  seventy- 
five  rooms,  twenty  of  which  have  private  baths.  The  structure  is  of 
a  noble  type  of  hotel  architecture,  the  original  cost  of  which  was  about 
$175,000.  In  1906  an  additional  $25,000  was  spent  in  improvements, 
and  it  now  ranks  in  every  way  with  the  very  best  hotels  to  be  found 
in  the  Southwest.  In  the  cafe  which  is  run  in  connection  with 
the  hotel,  the  art  of  catering  to  the  public  reaches  its  climax,  as  the 
service  is  beyond  reproach,  and  in  the  food  served  quality  is  never 
sacrificed  to  cost,  while  the  dining  room  itself  is  most  attractive,  both

in  its  location  and  the  manner  of  its  keeping.  A  first-class  buffet  and 
billiard  room  of  the  highest  standing  are  also  conducted  in  its  spacious 
quarters.  Henry  Poppen,  the  manager  of  the  Copper  Queen,  took 
charge  of  the  hotel  in  1909,  having  come  from  the  Hotel  Wellington, 
Chicago.  Mr.  Poppen  is  thoroughly  familiar  with  the  art  of  enter- 
taining the  public,  and  affording  them  comfort  and  courtesy.  He  is 
a  most  genial  host,  and  is  surrounded  by  a  corps  of  well  trained  pro- 
fessional hotel  employes,  some  of  whom  have  been  in  the  service  for  a 
number  of  years,  and  all  of  whom  work  in  harmony  with  the  policy 
of  the  Copper  Queen. 


R.  G.  ARTHUR,  General  Manager  of  the  Douglas  Investment 
Company,  was  born  in  Columbus,  Ohio,  April  18,  1870,  and  was 
educated  in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  State.  Mr.  Arthur  came 
to  Arizona  and  located  in  Clifton,  where  he  remained  for  two 

vear=,  and  the  next  year  he  spent 
in  Bisbee.  He  then  removed  to 
the  newer  city  of  Douglas  and  ac- 
cepted a  position  as  Cashier  of 
"he  Douglas  Improvement  Com- 
pany, and  was  later  promoted  to 
the  position  of  Manager  of  the 
rame  Company,  in  which  capacity 
he  served  until  the  consolidation 
of  the  various  utility  companies 
into  the  present  corporation 
known  as  the  Douglas  Invest- 
ment Company,  when  he  was 
appointed  to  his  present  position. 
This  company  controls  the  Gads- 
den  Hotel,  the  Douglas  Electric 
Light  and  Power  Company,  Ice 
and  Cold  Storage  plant  and  the 
original  Towrnsite  Company. 
They  were  also  the  prime  factor 
in  organizing,  and  for  some  years, 
until  the  same  was  purchased  by 
the  city  authorities,  controlled  the 
water  supply  system.  The  tele- 
phone system,  too,  was  installed  by  them  and  operated  with  excellent 
results  until  recently  sold  to  the  Mountain  States  Telephone  and  Tele- 
graph Company.  As  General  Manager  of  the  Company  furnishing  to 
the  city  the  necessary  commodities,  Mr.  Arthur  holds  a  responsible 
position,  and  is  one  of  the  most  prominent  men  in  Douglas.  He  is 
well  known,  too,  as  a  member  of  the  Blue  Lodge  Masons.  He  married 
Miss  Florence  Bryant,  and  they  have  one  daughter,  Eleanos  Louise.

JAMES  BLAIR  BOURNE,  Treasurer  of  Final  County  and  manager 
of  the  Mammouth  mine  property  in  Final  County,  was  born  in  Can- 
ton, Lewis  County,  Missouri,  June  19,  1872.  He  is  the  son  of  John 
P.  and  Elizabeth  Blair  Bourne,  both  descendants  of  pioneer  Kentucky 

families  and  still 
living  in  Missou- 
ri. Mr.  Bourne 
first  attended  the 
public  schools  of 
Missouri,  and 
then  had  a  short 
college  course. 
For  the  past 
twelve  years  he 
has  been  in  his 
present  position 
as  mine  manager, 
and  for  three 
years  previously 
was  employed  by 
the  company.  He 
is  also  owner  of 
some  valuable 
mining  claims  in 
the  State.  Mr. 
Bourne  comes  of 
a  long  line  of 
Kentucky  Demo- 
crats, on  both 
sides,  and  is  a 
strict  adherent  of 
Democracy.  He  is 

also  a  direct  descendant  of  the  Honorable  James  G.  Blair, 
who  was  elected  to  Congress  on  an  independent  ticket  inmme- 
diately  after  the  War,  and  was  a  close  friend  of  President 
Lincoln.  Mr.  Bourne  was  elected  Treasurer  on  the  Democratic 
ticket  and  in  the  last  Territorial  Assembly  was  one  of  Final's  repre- 
sentatives. During  the  session  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Corporations 
Committee  and  member  of  some  of  the  other  important  ones,  among 
which  were  the  Judiciary,  Ways  and  Means,  and  Good  Roads.  He 
was  one  of  the  most  intense  committee  workers  in  the  matter  of  se- 
curing sufficient  appropriations  for  the  University,  Tempe  and  Flag- 
staff Normals,  and  the  Industrial  School,  who  held  out  on  the  night  of 
adjournment  until  they  had  the  gratification  of  knowing  their  efforts 
in  this  behalf  were  successful.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Blue  Lodge 
Masons  and  Moose.  November  15,  1904,  Mr.  Bourne  was  married

Douglas,  Arizona,  has  two  points  of  interest  that  overtop  every- 
thing else — its  huge,  gigantean  smelters  and  its  beautiful  hotel.  A 
writer  of  note,  motoring  through  there,  a  few  years  ago,  thus  ex- 
pressed his  views  of  this  magnificent  hostelry: 

"Like  a  rock  in  a  weary  land,  like  a  bubbling  fountain  in  a  sun 
parched  desert  to  a  foot-sore  and  thirst-crazed  wranderer,  like  a 
Utopian  dream,  does  this  magnificent  and  luxurious  hotel  appear  to 
the  worn  and  tired  traveller  who,  after  days  and  nights  of  monotonous 
journeying  across  the  cactus-studded,  dust-plagued  plains  of  the 
Great  Southwest,  becomes  its  guest. 

"The  Hotel  Gadsden,  of  Douglas,  Arizona,  named  after  the  man 
who  made  the  famous  Gadsden  purchase,  scarcely  has  a  superior  and 
but  few  equals  among  the  hotels  of  the  Southwest.  The  building  and 
every  detail  of  its  equipment  and  furnishing  are  thoroughly  modern, 
and  the  effect  as  a  whole  represents  the  latest  and  most  complete  de- 
vices for  the  entertainment  of  the  travelling  public.  It  is  a  monu- 
ment to  the  taste,  enterprise  and  public  spirit  of  the  town  which  it 
adorns,  and  reflexively  shows  the  visiting  guest  at  once  and  convinc- 
ingly that  Douglas  is  not  merely  a  town  of  smelters,  but  a  city  whose 
citizenship  is  composed  of  Easterners  of  the  highest  culture,  refinement 
and  education. 

"The  chaste,  striking  and  beautiful  style  of  architecture  dominating 
this  magnificent  hotel  never  fails  of  impressing  the  beholder.  TJ/e 
more  closely  the  decorative  scheme  is  studied,  the  more  impressive  it 
becomes.  The  architects,  men  now  of  national  renown,  are  reported 
to  have  said  that  their  chief  ambition  is  to  create  something  more  beau- 
tiful and  more  truly  artistic  than  the  Gadsden  lobby;  and  they  despair 
of  being  able  to  do  so. 

"The  symmetry  of  this  lobby,  with  its  massive  marble  pillars,  mag- 
nificent, broad,  sweeping  central  stairway,  sculptured  capitals,  bas- 
reliefs  and  friezes,  ornamented  with  a  skill  and  genius  that  make  one 
think  he  is  in  Rome  or  Naples,  is  at  once  the  delight  and  the  marvel  of 
the  transient  guest.  'This  in  the  desert?'  say  they.  'What  kind  of  a 
town  can  it  be?'  is  their  query.  A  trip  through  its  beautiful  streets 
and  its  more  beautiful  homes,  shows  them  that  this  magnificent  hotel 
is  but  in  keeping  with  the  whole  scheme  of  the  city  of  Douglas,  which 
means  that  visitors  should,  through  the  decorations  of  their  principal 
hotel,  symbollically  become  apprised  of  the  character  and  spirit  of  the 
little  'Gem  City  of  the  Desert'." 

D.  C.  O'Neil,  a  hotel  man  of  long  and  varied  experience,  is  the 
manager  of  this  paragon  of  Arizona  hotels;  and  his  every  aim  and 
interest  is  to  see  that  the  guest  under  his  roof  goes  away,  not  merely 
satisfied,  but  delighted,  and  a  booster  for  the  town  and  caravansary  in 
which  Mr.  O'Neil  takes  the  very  deepest  possible  interest  and  pride.

T.  E.  POLLOCK,  President  of  the  Arizona  Central  Hank  of  Flag- 
staff, which  has  branches  at  Williams  and  Kinsman,  is  one  of  the 
ablest  financiers  in  the  Southwest,  and  one  of  the  most  noted  citizens 
of  Arizona.  He  has  made  his  place  in  Arizona,  has  acquired  promi- 
nence and  wealth  by  dint  of  hard  work  and  sound  business  judgment, 
and  is  one  of  the  State's  most  enthusiastic  boosters  at  home  and 
abroad.  All  of  the  financial  institutions  of  which  he  is  head  are 
conducted  in  a  careful  and  business-like  manner,  which  has  been  the 
basis  of  his  success.  In  addition  to  these  interests,  Mr.  Pollock  is 
an  extensive  wool  grower  and  cattle  man,  and  has  various  other 
holdings  throughout  this  section.  He  is  a  director  of  the  Phoenix 
National  Bank  and  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Douglas,  and 
variously  interested  in  other  important  industries.  He  is  also  Vice 
President  of  the  Red  River  Land  Si  Cattle  Company,  and  President  of 
the  Diamond  Coal  Company,  both  of  New  Mexico.  Mr.  Pollock  is 
a  close  personal  friend  and  associate  of  many  of  the  prominent  men  of 
the  State,  takes  an  active  part  in  all  matters  of  State  advancement,  and 
has  been  originator  of  many  progressive  movements.  He  is  deeply 
interested  in  the  subject  of  good  roads  for  Arizona,  being  one  of  the 
early  advocates  of  the  transcontinental  highway,  and  is  a  member  of 
the  Northern  Arizona  Good  Roads  Association.  Mr.  Pollock  was 
born  near  Lake  Geneva,  Wisconsin,  in  1868,  but  has  been  in  Arizona 
since  quite  a  young  man.  While  interested  in  City,  County  and 
State  politics,  he  has  never  been  actively  so,  and  his  duties  in  other 
capacities  have  never  admitted  of  his  seeking  any  political  office.  He 
is  a  member  of  the  Masonic  order,  in  which  he  has  attained  the  32nd 
degree. 


Bank  of  Safford 

THE  BANK  OF  SAFFORD,  located  in  the  town  after  which  it  is 
named,  has  been  the  training  school  of  more  prominent  bankers  and 
financiers  than  any  other  bank  in  the  State.  The  present  Board  of 
Directors  includes  many  men  of  prominence  in  the  financial  life  of 
the  Southwest.  This  bank  was  organized  in  1899  by  W.  F.  Holt  of 
the  Imperial  Valley,  who  later  sold  it  to  J.  N.  Porter  and  his  associ- 
ates, and  it  was  controlled  by  the  latter  until  taken  over  by  the  present 
management  in  1908.  The  following  year  the  Graham  County  State 
Bank  was  purchased  and  the  two  were  consolidated.  The  officers  and 
directors  are  among  the  most  prominent  business  and  professional  men 
of  the  State,  and  its  management  is  in  the  hands  of  capable  bankers. 
The  capital  stock  of  the  Bank  is  $33,000,  its  surplus  $10,000,  and  the 
aggregate  of  its  deposits  more  than  $280,000,  according  to  its  last 
statement.  A  general  banking  business  is  conducted  by  the  Bank  of 
Safford,  and  for  years  it  has  ably  aided  in  the  financing  of  the  impor-

tant  industries  of  that  section,  including  farming,,  ranching,  cattle 
raising  and  mining,  all  of  which  have  been  thus  greatly  benefited.  Its 
stockholders  are  largely  interested  in  the  Arizona  National  Bank  of 
Tucson,  and  while  the  two  banks  are  separate  and  distinct,  their  in- 
terests are  close,  and  they  work  in  the  closest  harmony,  giving  the 
Bank  of  Safford  the  benefit  of  a  strong  ally  in  the  larger  City.  D. 
W.  Wickersham,  one  of  the  best  knowyn  financiers  of  the  Southwest, 
who  is  active  in  the  commercial  life  of  California  and  Arizona,  is 
president;  E.  W.  Clayton,  a  director  in  the  Arizona  National  Bank  at 
Tucson,  is  cashier,  while  I.  E.  Solomon  and  J.  R.  Welker,  the  vice 
presidents,  are  among  the  most  successful  and  prominent  merchants  in 
the  State.  The  directors  besides  the  above  are  John  J.  Birdno,  re- 
ceiver of  the  Phoenix  Land  Office;  Charles  F.  Solomon,  president  of 
the  Arizona  National  Bank  of  Tucson ;  Ph.  Freudenthal,  director  of 
the  same  bank;  Z.  C.  Prina,  a  well  known  manufacturer  of  Safford, 
and  W.  T.  Webb,  one  of  the  most  prominent  citizens  of  the  State, 
who  is  well  known  in  commercial  and  political  affairs. 


DAVID  WILMOT  WICKERSHAM,  President  of  the  Bank  of  Safford,  is 
a  native  of  Pennsylvania,  but  came  to  Arizona  forty  years  ago.  For 
years  he  has  been  closely  identified  with  the  commercial,  financial  and 
industrial  life  of  this  State.  Mr.  Wickersham  began  his  career  in 
Arizona  as  a  teacher  in  Mammoth  and  the  Gila  Valley,  then  started 
in  as  clerk  in  the  store  of  I.  E.  Solomon,  one  of  the  pioneer  merchants 
of  Arizona.  In  that  position  Mr.  Wickersham  proved  so  valuable  an 
assistant  that  he  was  made  a  partner  in  the  business  under  the  firm 
name  of  Solomon,  Wickersham  &  Co.  The  new  firm  opened  a  large 
mercantile  establishment  at  Bowie,  which  was  one  of  the  largest  sup- 
ply stations  in  the  Territory  in  the  early  days.  The  firm  was  reor- 
ganized and  known  as  Solomon  &  Wickersham,  and  a  store  estab- 
lished at  Solomonville.  In  1906  another  change  was  made  and  Mr. 
Wickersham  became  the  head  of  a  new  corporation,  The  Solomon 
Wickersham  Company.  Mr.  Wickersham  has  been  successful  in  his 
mercantile  ventures,  and  has  invested  much  of  his  capital  in  the  State. 
He  was  the  organizer  and  first  president  of  the  Gila  Valley  Bank  & 
Trust  Co.,  which  controls  one  of  the  strongest  strings  of  banks  in  the 
Southwest.  He  is  president  of  the  Solomon  Commercial  Company, 
and  although  he  has  reached  an  age  when  most  men  retire  he  is  active- 
ly interested  in  a  number  of  important  enterprises  in  California  and 
Arizona  in  addition  to  those  enumerated.  Mr.  Wickersham  spends 
his  winters  in  Arizona  and  his  summers  on  the  coast.  He  was  one  of 
the  heavy  stockholders  of  the  oil  company  which  developed  the  Lake 
View  gusher,  one  of  the  famous  oil  wells  of  the  age,  and  has  large 
realty  holdings  in  California.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Wickersham  are  parents 
of  six  children,  Ernest  S.,  Florence,  Mabel  (Mrs.  Herman  Heizman), 
Wilmot,  Harry  and  Maude.

ERNEST  W.  CLAYTON,  Cashier  and  Director  of  the  Bank  of  Saf- 
ford  and  Director  of  the  Arizona  National  Bank,  Tucson,  was  born 
in  Fort  Worth,  Texas,  in  1877.  His  father,  one  of  the  pioneer  mer- 
chants of  Texas,  is  now  a  resident  of  Southern  California,  where  the 
family  moved  when  Mr.  Clayton  was  but  a  child.  His  mother  died 
at  Fresno  shortly  afterward.  Mr.  Clayton  completed  the  public 
school  course  of  Fresno,  after  which  he  finished  a  commercial  course 
in  San  Francisco.  He  took  a  job  as  agent  and  operator  on  the 
Tucson  division  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad,  under  Colonel 
Epes  Randolph,  worked  for  this  company  seven  years,  and  resigned 
to  take  a  position  with  the  Gila  Valley  Bank  and  Trust  Company  at 
Globe,  as  Assistant  Cashier.  He  remained  there  three  years,  then 
having  been  elected  Cashier  and  Director  of  the  Bank  of  Safford,  he 
removed  to  Safford  and  has  since  held  that  position.  When  the  re- 
organization of  the  Arizona  National  Bank  was  brought  about  by 
the  purchase  of  a  controlling  interest  by  the  present  management,  Mr. 
Clayton  became  a  stockholder  and  director.  Mr.  Clayton  is  inter- 
ested in  the  improvement  of  conditions  in  the  State,  and  has  done 
much  toward  advertising  Graham  County  to  the  outside  world.  He 
was  President  of  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  before  its  work  was 
taken  over  by  the  county  organization,  and  he  is  at  present  County 
Immigration  Commissioner.  He  is  a  Republican,  and  has  been 
active  in  politics  and  was  for  some  time  Chairman  of  the  Republican 
County  Central  Committee.  He  is  a  32nd  degree  Mason,  and  mem- 
ber of  the  Tucson  Lodge,  and  of  the  Mystic  Shrine,  is  a  member  of 
the  Elks'  Lodge  at  Globe,  and  also  of  the  Knights  of  Pythias.  He 
married  Miss  Elsie  Hall,  a  well  known  California  girl. 


J.  R.  WELKER,  merchant  and  Director  of  the  Bank  of  Safford,  was 
born  in  Bloomington,  Bear  Lake  County,  Idaho,  January  25,  1866. 
He  is  the  son  of  Adam  and  Agnes  Dock  Welker,  the  latter  a  native 
of  Scotland.  Until  seventeen  years  of  age  he  lived  in  his  native 
town,  and  there  received  his  education  in  the  public  schools.  In  1882 
the  family  came  to  Arizona  and  located  in  Graham  County,  where 
his  father  and  himself  bought  a  quarter  section  of  land  near  the 
present  town  of  Safford.  For  seven  years  he  was  employed  in  the 
improvement  of  this  land,  which  was  later  sold.  He  then  engaged 
in  business  at  Lay  ton,  and  for  the  past  twenty-five  years  has  been 
increasing  his  mercantile  interests  in  Graham  County.  He  is  also 
interested  in  various  other  enterprises,  prominent  among  which  is 
the  Mt.  Graham  Lumber  Company,  which  he  aided  in  organizing. 
He  was  also  a  stockholder  and  Cashier  of  the  Graham  County  State 
Bank  until  its  consolidation  with  the  Bank  of  Safford.  In  partner- 
ship with  Mr.  Moody,  of  the  Land  Commission,  he  is  owner  of  a 
splendid  ranch  of  640  acres  in  the  Gila  Valley.  Mr.  Welker  is  a 
member  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of  Latter  Day  Saints,  and  a

great  worker  in  its  interests,  having  spent  three  years  in  missionary 
work  in  the  Samoan  and  Friendly  Islands.  After  his  return  he-  u  as 
appointed  Bishop  of  the  Layton  Ward,  and  faithfully  served  his 
church  in  that  capacity.  He  is  an  active  Republican,  but  except  as 
member  of  the  County  Central  Committee,  he  has  never  held  an 
office.  Mr.  Welker  married  Miss  Louise  Peel,  of  Utah,  in  1886, 
and  they  have  five  children,  Chloe — Mrs.  Eugene  Evans  of  Safford— 
Willard  J.,  Lawrence,  Ruby  and  Steven. 


I.  E.  SOLOMON,  prominent  for  many  years  in  the  business  life  of 
Arizona,  was  born  in  Germany  in  1844,  and  in  that  country  was  edu- 
cated and  learned  the  mercantile  business.  When  but  sixteen  years 
of  age,  in  company  with  his  eldest  sister,  he  landed  in  New  York,  and 

from  there  proceeded  to 
Bradford  County,  Penn- 
sylvania, where  he  secured 
employment  with  his 
uncle  for  several  years. 
He  then  engaged  in  liv- 
ery7, staging,  etc.,  on  his 
own  account  in  Towanda, 
in  which  he  continued  un- 
til 1876.  He  next  went 
to  New  Mexico,  intend- 
ing to  make  that  his  fu- 
ture home,  but  seeing 
greater  possibilities  in 
Arizona's  future,  in  the 
summer  of  the  same  year 
he  settled  on  the  site  of 
the  present  town  of  Solo- 
monville  and  located  forty 
acres.  The  vicinity  then 
boasted  of  but  half  a 
dozen  white  families,  but 
Mr.  Solomon  opened  a 
store,  which,  for  a  few 
years,  was  necessarily  con- 
ducted in  rather  a  crude 
way,  but  which  gradually 
improved  with  conditions,  and  was  doing  a  flourishing  business  in 
course  of  time.  About  1878  the  town  of  Solomonville  was  named 
in  honor  of  Mr.  Solomon,  to  whom  is  largely  due  the  credit  of  form- 
ing the  settlement  and  building  up  the  town.  In  1880  the  postoffice 
was  established,  he  was  appointed  postmaster,  and  for  sixteen  con- 
secutive years  he  held  that  position.  Governor  Fremont  appointed 
him  Treasurer  of  Graham  County  for  one  term,  and  sc  general  was

the  satisfaction  that  was  felt  at  the  conduct  of  his  office  that  before 
the  expiration  of  the  term  he  was  elected  to  the  position  and  served 
in  all  four  years.  Mr.  Solomon  was  also  engaged  in  sheep  raising 
on  a  large  scale,  and  during  his  early  years  in  the  Territory,  being 
near  the  Apache  Reservation,  had  some  thrilling  experiences  with  the 
Indians.  On  one  occasion  a  number  of  the  sheep  herders  in  his 
employ  were  murdered  by  Indians,  one  man  having  been  tied  to  a 
tree  and  stoned  to  death,  the  remaining  ones  shot,  and  about  five 
hundred  sheep  killed.  He  has  also  had  some  startling  experiences 
in  traveling,  when  attacked  by  Indians  and  road  agents,  but  has 
always  been  especially  fortunate.  Mr.  Solomon  has  ever  been  active, 
industrious  and  progressive,  and  has  large  holdings  of  land  in  and 
about  Solomonville.  He  is  interested  in  irrigation  projects,  in 
addition  to  his  mercantile  interests  in  various  corporations  and  his 
interests  in  banking  institutions  in  different  sections.  No  man  who 
has  ever  lived  in  Arizona  has  done  more  for  the  general  good  and 
development  of  the  State,  and  especially  for  his  own  county,  than 
I.  E.  Solomon.  In  politics  he  is  Republican,  but  has  never  sought 
office.  On  the  contrary,  he  has  resolutely  declined  some  very  flatter- 
ing propositions  by  the  leaders  of  the  party  in  Graham  County.  In 
1872  Mr.  Solomon  returned  to  Germany  and  there  was  married  to 
Miss  Anna  Freudenthal.  Their  oldest  son,  Charles  Solomon,  is 
President  of  the  Arizona  National  Bank,  Tucson,  and  one  of  the 
leading  financiers  and  business  men  of  the  State,  while  Mr.  I.  E.  Solo- 
mon is  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  this  institution. 


PH.  FREUDENTHAL,  Vice  President  of  The  Arizona  National 
Bank,  and  General  Manager  of  the  Solomon  Commercial  Company, 
which  he  helped  to  organize  in  1900,  was  born  July  22,  1854,  in 
Hohensalza,  Province  of  Posen,  Germany,  and  is  the  son  of  Louis  and 
Rosalia  Wolff  Freudenthal.  He  left  his  home  when  quite  a  young 
boy  and  came  to  this  country,  first  locating  in  New  York  with  his 
uncle.  Being  ambitious  and  capable,  however,  he  remained  there  but 
a  short  time,  then  started  for  the  West,  and  arrived  in  Las  Cruces, 
N.  M.,  in  May,  1869.  He  secured  employment  there  with  the  firm 
of  Lesinsky  &  Co.,  then  the  largest  mercantile  establishment  in  the 
West,  soon  became  one  of  their  trusted  employees,  and  made  that  his 
home  for  a  number  of  years.  He  was  later  placed  in  charge  of  the 
company's  business  at  Clifton,  Arizona,  where  they  bought  and 
developed  mines  afterward  sold  to  a  Scottish  syndicate,  now  known 
as  the  Arizona  Copper  Company.  He  also  held  an  interest  in  the 
firm's  business  in  El  Paso,  which  had  been  established  about  that 
time.  When  Lesinsky  &  Co.  sold  all  their  holdings  in  the  West, 
Mr.  Freudenthal  engaged  in  business  for  himself  in  Las  Cruces,  for 
he  had  grown  to  love  the  West  and  had  intimately  identified  himself 
writh  its  interests.  He  was  one  of  the  pioneers  of  New  Mexico,  and 
did  much  to  aid  in  the  development  of  its  wonderful  resources.  For

a  number  of  years  he  served  as  Treasurer  of  Dona  Ana  County,  New 
Mexico.  In  1900  Mr.  Freudenthal  moved  to  Solomonville,  Ari- 
zona, which  has  since  been  his  home,  and  in  Graham  County,  as 
previously,  he  has  been  associated  with  matters  of  progress  and 
success,  being  one  of  the  organizers  of  the  Gila  Valley  Bank  &  Trust 
Co.,  his  interests  having  been  mainly  in  that  county  until  his  recent 
affiliation  with  The  Arizona  National  Bank  of  Tucson.  For  years

he  has  been  a  Director  of  the  Bank  of  Safford.  Mr.  Freudenthal  is 
a  very  active  worker  in  the  Republican  party,  and  in  1912  was  one  of 
Arizona's  six  delegates  to  the  National  Republican  Convention, 
Chicago.  He  is  considered  the  head  of  the  Freudenthal  family  in 
this  country,  whose  interests  he  has  looked  after  more  carefully  than 
his  personal  ones,  being  a  man  of  strong  character  and  high  integrity. 
Mr.  Freudenthal  was  married  in  1896  to  Miss  Amalia  Lewy  of  New 
York  City.  They  have  two  sons,  Louis  and  Bernard.

JOSEPH  W.  SMITH,  cashier  of  the  Bank  of  Northern  Arizona,  is 
the  eldest  son  of  Jesse  N.  Smith,  a  prominent  citizen  and  leading 
"Mormon"  pioneer  in  Southern  Utah  and  Northern  Arizona,  who 
was  a  member  of  the  Assembly  in  the  19th  Legislature.  Mr.  Smith 

was  born  in  Minersville, 
Utah,  September  6,  1859, 
and  his  early  life  was  spent 
in  Parowan,  Utah,  where  he 
worked  on  his  father's  farm 
in  the  summer  time,  and  aft- 
er hauling  wood  for  his  tui- 
tion, attended  the  district 
school  for  about  three 
months  during  the  winter. 
In  1879  he  married  Miss 
Nellie  Marsden  and  immedi- 
ately removed  to  Arizona,  lo- 
cating in  Snow-flake,  where  he 
still  resides.  He  commenced 
life  as  a  farmer,  and  by  close 
application  to  study  became  a 
school  teacher,  which  profes- 
sion he  followed  successfully 
for  twelve  years,  from  1888 
to  1902.  He  had  the  gov- 
ernment contract  for  carrying 
the  mail  from  Holbrook  to 
Fort  Apache,  and  spent  two 
years  as  salesman  in  a  gen- 
eral store.  This  institution 

owes  its  existence  mainly  to  his  efforts  and  substantial  support.  He 
has  also  held  the  office  of  Justice  of  the  Peace,  Notary  Public,  and 
some  minor  offices,  and  although  prominent  in  the  councils  of  the  Re- 
publican party,  has  never  sought  office  for  the  sake  of  the  spoils.  Mr. 
Smith  has  ever  been  a  friend  to  good  schools  and  good  roads,  and 
every  business  venture  looking  to  the  well  being  and  uplift  of  the  com- 
munity has  found  in  him  a  strong  supporter.  For  many  years  he  has 
been  a  director  in  the  Arizona  Cooperative  Mercantile  Institution, 
the  leading  organization  of  its  kind  in  Navajo  and  Apache  counties, 
and  he  is  at  present  its  secretary.  He  has  also  been  much  help  to  his 
neighbors  in  the  matter  of  land  titles,  and  his  judgment  is  considered 
very  sound  on  both  financial  and  social  questions.  In  addition,  Mr. 
Smith  has  given  much  time  to  the  religious  side  of  life.  He  is  a  mem- 
ber of  the  "Mormon"  Church,  is  religious  and  devoted  to  his  faith. 
He  has  for  a  number  of  years  served  as  Stake  Superintendent  of  the 
Young  Men's  Mutual  Improvement  Association,  has  held  several  oth-

ei  responsible  church  positions,  and  spent  two  years  traveling  in  Eng- 
land and  Ireland  as  a  missionary.  He  has  a  large  family,  two  of 
whom,  his  eldest  daughter  and  eldest  son,  are  graduates  of  Flagstaff 
Normal  School,  where  the  third  child  is  now  finishing  the  course. 


The  Citizens  Bank  of  Thatcher 

THE  CITIZENS  BANK  OF  THATCHER,  in  Graham  County,  was 
promoted  and  organized  by  its  present  Cashier,  Le  Roi  C.  Snow, 
formerly  of  Salt  Lake  City,  Utah.  The  bank  opened  its  doors  May 
16th,  1^10,  with  a  capital  of  $12,000.  It  now  has  a  paid-in  capital 
of  $17,500,  surplus  of  $8,000  and  undivided  profits  of  nearly  $3,000. 
This  is  a  remarkable  growth  in  three  years  time.  The  loans  are 
$65,000,  deposits  $90,000,  total  resources  about  $1 10,000,  and  reserve 
of  cash  and  exchange  nearly  $35,000.  The  officers  of  the  bank  are: 
Frank  Tyler,  President;  H.  J.  Anderson,  Vice  President,  and  Le  Roi 
C.  Snow,  Cashier.  These,  with  E.  W.  Layton,  J.  M.  Allred,  John 
W.  Mattice  and  W.  A.  Lines  are  the  directors.  These  people  are 
among  the  strongest  business  leaders  in  the  Gila  Valley,  and  together 
with  the  business  and  growth  of  the  bank  make  it  one  of  the  strongest 
of  the  smaller  institutions  in  the  State.  The  Citizens  Bank  recently 
opened  a  branch  office  in  the  Lines  Brothers'  mercantile  store  in  Pima, 
which  is  doing  a  nice  business.  The  bank  has  a  beautiful  two-story 
cement  brick  building  in  Thatcher,  which  is  a  credit  to  the  valley. 


LE  Roi  C.  SNOW,  Cashier  of  the  Citizens  Bank  of  Thatcher,  was 
born  in  Brigham  City,  Utah,  August  26,  1876,  and  is  a  direct  descend- 
ant of  the  Puritans,  one  of  his  forefathers  having  come  to  Massachu- 
setts the  year  of  the  arrival  of  the  Mayflower,  and  several  having 
been  prominent  in  the  Revolution.  Mr.  Snow's  mother,  Minnie 
Jensen  Snow,  was  especially  active  in  the  interests  of  women,  and  was 
delegate  from  Utah  to  many  national  and  international  gatherings, 
in  all  of  which  she  took  a  prominent  part.  His  father  was  Lorenzo 
Snow,  late  President  of  the  Mormon  Church.  Through  his  unusual 
financial  acumen,  President  Snow  reorganized  the  affairs  of  his 
Church  and  established  a  system  which  put  it  on  a  sound  financial 
basis,  and  in  every  way  was  one  of  the  ablest  and  heartiest  workers 
the  Church  has  known.  In  the  business  world  also  he  was  recog- 
nized as  a  power  and  financial  leader,  having  served  as  President  of 
nearly  a  score  of  the  strongest  corporations  in  Utah.  Le  Roi  C. 
Snow  prepared  for  a  business  life  while  very  young,  having  at  the 
age  of  eighteen  taken  the  gold  medal  in  shorthand  and  typewriting 
in  the  Salt  Lake  Business  College.  His  regular  education  was  com-

pleted  at  the  Latter  Day  Saints  College  and  State  University,  Utah, 
and  he  served  three  years  as  librarian  at  the  Temple,  Salt  Lake  City. 
In  his  nineteenth  year  he  was  sent  on  a  mission  for  his  church,  on 
which  he  spent  nearly  three  years  in  Germany,  and  had  attained  to  the 
position  of  President  of  the  Dresden  Conference  when  he  was  honor- 
ably released.  Before  returning  to  this  country  he  spent  almost  an 
entire  year  studying  and  traveling  through  Great  Britain  and  many 
of  the  continental  countries.  On  his  return  from  Europe  Mr.  Snow 
became  private  secretary  to  his  honored  father,  and  Church  Tithing 
Clerk,  which  positions  he  held  until  President  Snow's  death.  He  was 
then  elected  instructor  in  German  and  French  in  the  L.  D.  S.  Uni- 
versity, Utah,  and  had  charge  of  the  night  school  of  the  L.  D.  S.  Busi- 
ness College.  Mr.  Sno\v  is  a  member  of  the  General  Board  of  the 
Young  Men's  Mutual  Improvement  Association,  which  has  a  mem- 
bership of  nearly  50,000  throughout  the  world.  In  1900  he  suggested 
to  the  General  Board  that  a  bureau  of  information  be  established  for 
tourists  visiting  Salt  Lake  City.  Mr.  SnowT  was  appointed  Chairman 
of  a  committee,  including  Apostles  Rudgar  Clawson  and  Reed  Smoot, 
now  United  States  Senator.  As  a  result,  the  present  Bureau  of 
Information  within  the  Temple  grounds  in  Salt  Lake  was  established, 
and  there  thousands  of  tourists  are  entertained  yearly  and  receive 
such  courteous  treatment  and  reliable  information  that  their  visit  is 
never  forgotten.  Mr.  Snow  spent  two  years  in  the  Zion  Savings  Bank 
&  Trust  Company,  one  of  the  largest  banks  in  Utah,  and  since  sever- 
ing his  connection  with  that  institution,  has  been  in  business  for 
himself.  His  first  independent  venture  was  as  automobile  dealer, 
one  of  the  pioneers  in  the  business  in  the  State,  and  for  several  years 
he  did  an  extensive  business  in  this  line,  but  in  1908,  immediately 
following  his  mother's  death,  he  came  to  Arizona  and  for  one  year 
was  engaged  in  the  sheep  business  in  the  northern  part  of  the  State. 
He  then  removed  to  Thatcher,  soon  became  identified  prominently 
with  its  best  interests  in  every  particular,  and  was  the  leading  spirit 
in  the  promotion  and  organization  of  the  Citizens  Bank,  having  fur- 
nished one-half  the  original  capital,  and  since  its  opening  served  as 
Cashier.  The  balance  of  the  capital  was  furnished  by  some  of  the 
most  prominent  people  in  the  Gila  Valley,  who  are  among  its  officers 
and  directors.  As  a  location  for  the  bank,  Mr.  Snow  secured  the 
most  prominent  corner  in  Thatcher,  on  which  was  erected,  under  his 
supervision,  a  beautiful  bank  building,  which  would  do  credit  to  a 
much  larger  city.  In  the  few  years  it  has  been  in  operation,  The 
Citizens  Bank  has  had  a  remarkable  growth  in  both  strength  and 
profits,  and  being  the  first  bank  organized  in  the  immediate  vicinity 
of  Thatcher,  has  been  of  particular  value  to  the  business  of  the  dis- 
trict, its  liberal,  though  sound,  business  policies  having  been  directed 
mainly  by  Mr.  Snowr  in  his  present  capacity.  In  1912  Mr.  Snow 
married  a  charming  Thatcher  girl.  Few  young  ladies  in  the  Gila 
Vallev  have  more  friends  than  Mrs.  Snow.

FRANK  N.  TYLER,  President  of  the  Citizens  Bank  of  Thatcher, 
and  Bishop  of  Thatcher  Ward  of  the  Church  of  Jesus  Christ  of 
Latter  Day  Saints,  is  a  native  of  Utah,  and  was  born  in  Washington, 
Washington  County,  August  26,  1860.  There,  too,  he  was  edu- 
cated and  lived  until  he  was  twenty-two  years  of  age,  when  he  married 
Miss  Mary  Adelia  Pace,  and  immediately  left  for  Arizona  to  take  up 
their  permanent  home.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Tyler  made  the  trip  with  a 
small  party  overland,  and  during  the  six  weeks  they  were  on  the 
way  they  came  in  contact  with  severe  Indian  troubles.  They 
crossed  the  Colorado  at  Pierce's  Ferry,  proceeded  through  the  Salt 
River  Valley  to  the  Gila  Valley,  and  located  at  Thatcher,  which  at 
that  time  was  unnamed  and  nothing  resembling  a  town  had  yet  been 
formed  there,  only  three  families  living  on  the  present  site  of  the 
town  of  Thatcher.  They  are,  therefore,  the  true  pioneers  of  that 
section,  and  for  more  than  thirty  years  have  watched  and  aided  its 
development,  have  nobly  borne  the  privations  of  frontier  life,  for 
many  years  met  and  coped  with  attacks  of  Indians  and  cattle  thieves, 
and  through  it  all  have  displayed  the  patience,  persistence  and  power 
of  endurance  so  necessary  to  the  pioneer.  The  first  work  of  Mr. 
Tyler  in  the  new  home  was  to  clear  the  land  he  had  taken  up,  in  order 
that  he  might  engage  in  farming,  which  was  his  sole  occupation  until 
1893,  when  conditions  made  it  seem  practicable,  and  he  opened  a 
small  general  store.  This  was  a  success  from  the  beginning,  and 
formed  a  nucleus  for  the  "Big  6,"  which  was  organized  in  1901, 
and  is  now  the  largest  mercantile  establishment  in  Thatcher.  With 
his  natural  enterprise,  Mr.  Tyler  has  since  been  prominent  in  the 
promoting  and  building  up  several  other  large  organizations,  among 
which  are  The  Nevada  Flour  Mills,  Mt.  Graham  Lumber  Com- 
pany, and  The  Citizens  Bank  of  Thatcher,  of  which  he  is  President. 
Each  of  these  has  proved  not  only  a  financial  success,  but  has  merited 
the  highest  esteem  of  the  public  in  all  its  dealings.  In  laboring  for 
the  interest  of  his  church,  too,  Bishop  Tyler  has  been  most  active,  as 
he  filled  a  mission  in  the  Southern  States,  principally  in  Georgia  and 
Florida,  after  which  he  returned  to  his  home  town.  In  June,  1909, 
he  wras  appointed  Bishop  of  the  Thatcher  Ward,  in  which  capacity 
he  presides  over  about  1,200  souls,  and  is  truly  a  father  to  his  people, 
who  dearly  love  him  for  his  integrity,  devotion  to  their  interests, 
and  clean,  honorable  character,  the  attributes  which  have  contributed 
so  largely  to  his  material  success  in  Arizona. 


HAKAN  J.  AXDERSOX,  Vice  President  of  the  Citizens  Bank  of 
Thatcher,  was  born  in  Denmark,  September  4th,  1858.  When  four 
years  old  his  parents  came  to  America  and  located  in  Millard  County, 
Utah,  where  Mr.  Anderson  lived  until  he  was  thirty  years  old.  He 
married  in  Utah.  Before  leaving  that  State  he  was  interested  in 
farming  and  the  sheep  business.  In  1888  Mr.  Anderson  came  to 
Arizona,  and  after  living  in  Solomonville  one  year  moved  to  Pima,

where  he  homesteaded  and  made  his  permanent  home.  For  eight 
years  previous  to  the  building  of  the  railroad  through  the  Gila 
Valley  Mr.  Anderson  ran  a  large  freight  outfit  between  Willcox  and 
Globe,  and  since  that  time  he  has  devoted  his  time  to  farming  and 
dairying,  having  started  and  owned  dairies  in  Clifton,  Morenci  and 
Globe ;  he  still  owns  two  dairies  in  Globe.  Mr.  Anderson  owns 
nearly  six  hundred  acres  of  the  finest  farm  land  in  the  Gila  Valley, 
is  President  of  the  Union  Extension  Canal  company  and  officer  or 
director  in  s-everal  other  canal  companies.  Mr.  Anderson's  clean, 
honorable  life  has  won  the  respect  of  all  who  know  him.  In  selecting 
this  gentleman  as  its  Vice  President,  the  Citizens  Bank  has  one  of  the 
strongest  and  most  influential  men  in  the  entire  community. 


The  Bank  of  Arizona 

THE  BANK  OF  ARIZONA,  Prescott,  is  the  pioneer  banking  house  of 
Arizona,  having  been  organized  in  1877  by  Messrs.  Lewis  and  Kales, 
San  Francisco  capitalists,  and  has  ever  been  conducted  in  a  most 
sound  and  conservative  manner.  It  has  also  taken  an  active  part  in 
the  promotion  of  the  leading  industries  of  the  section.  The  author- 
ized capital  of  the  Bank  of  Arizona  is  $100,000,  and  its  original 
paid-up  capital  $25,000,  which  has  since  been  increased  to  $50,000. 
Its  total  resources  amount  to  more  than  $1,500,000,  deposits  $1,100,- 
000,  and  its  surplus  and  undivided  profits  about  $210,000.  In  addi- 
tion to  the  regular  banking  business,  this  house  issues  commercial 
letters  of  credit  available  in  all  parts  of  the  world,  and  buys  and  sells 
foreign  exchange.  To  Prescott  and  vicinity  this  bank  has  been  of 
inestimable  value.  The  course  pursued  by  its  management  has 
inspired  confidence  and  furnished  useful  lessons,  its  policy  having  been 
to  protect  first  its  depositors,  then  its  shareholders,  and  to  aid  in  a 
liberal  yet  conservative  way  the  business  of  the  surrounding  territory. 
The  business  of  the  institution  is  conducted  in  its  own  building,  a 
massive  two-story  one  of  ornamental  brick  and  Arizona  tufa  and 
granite,  the  entire  lower  floor  of  which  is  used  for  banking  purposes. 
Its  equipment  includes  all  modern  devices,  for  both  safety  and  con- 
venience, known  to  bankers,  while  its  officers  and  directors  are  recog- 
nized financiers  of  ability.  The  President,  Judge  E.  W.  Wells, 
has  been  identified  closely  with  every  prominent  movement  in  Arizona 
for  years;  the  Vice  President,  M.  B.  Hazeltine,  directed  the  policy 
of  this  bank  for  many  years  as  Cashier  before  being  chosen  for  his 
present  position ;  the  Cashier,  C.  A.  Peter,  has  also  been  in  the 
employ  of  the  bank  for  many  years,  and  is  one  of  its  Directors;  and 
William  H.  Doyle  is  Assistant  Cashier.  The  Board  of  Directors 
consists  of  Messrs.  Wells,  Hazeltine,  Peter,  and  W.  E.  Hazeltine,  of 
San  Jose,  California,  and  Mrs.  Hugo  Richards,  wife  of  Hugo  Rich- 
ards, who  was  President  of  the  Bank  of  Arizona  many  years,  until  the 


768

time  of  his  death.  This  bank,  having  practically  made  Prescott  the 
important  distributing  center  it  is  today,  and  merited  the  heartiest 
endorsement  of  the  public,  seems  assured  of  an  abundantly  successful 
future. 


HUGO  RICHARDS,  a  prominent  citizen  of  Arizona  for  many  years, 
and  one  of  her  leading  pioneers  in  financial  and  industrial  affairs, 
was  born  in  St.  Louis  November  6,  1838.  His  father,  Hugh  Rich- 
ards, was  a  native  of  Wales,  who  came  to  this  country  early  in  the 
nineteenth  century  and  settled  in  St.  Louis  in  the  year  1820.  His 
mother  was  Alary  Venderberg,  a  native  of  Indiana.  In  St.  Louis 
the  young  Hugo  was  reared  and  educated,  and  there  began  his  business 
career  while  still  a  boy,  by  becoming  a  bookkeeper  in  a  wholesale 
grocery  store,  but  seized  with  the  spirit  of  the  day  to  go  West,  he  went 
to  Denver,  Colorado,  in  1860,  where  he  was  the  special  agent  of  the 
Ben  Holliday  Stage  &  Express  Company,  plying  between  that  city 
and  Missouri  River  points,  before  the  Union  Pacific  Railroad  was 
built.  In  1863  he  moved  to  Virginia  City,  Montana,  where  he  was 
engaged  in  mining  for  a  year  or  so,  but  returned  to  Denver  in  about 
1865.  In  1868  he  went  to  California,  and  was  with  the  Wells- 
Fargo  Express  Company  in  San  Francisco,  remaining  on  the  coast  for 
several  years.  In  1872  Mr.  Richards  came  to  Prescott  and  immedi- 
ately engaged  in  business  with  George  Bowers,  in  assuming  charge  of 
the  post  trader's  store  at  Camp  Verde.  Later,  he  was  tendered  a 
similar  business  at  Fort  Whipple,  and  again,  in  1875,  with  Louis  B. 
St.  James  as  a  partner,  he  opened  a  post  trader's  store  at  Camp 
Apache.  In  the  meantime,  Mr.  Richards  was  energetically  occupied 
in  mining  pursuits  throughout  northern  Arizona,  and  was  also  largely 
interested  in  ranching,  owning  a  cattle  ranch  on  Date  Creek,  in  Yava- 
pai  County.  A  pleasing  feature  of  his  wide  investments  was  that 
success  followed  his  ventures  in  nearly  every  instance.  As  a  financier, 
he  was  recognized  as  capable  and  trustworthy,  and  with  this  qualifica- 
tion, backed  with  a  keen  knowledge  of  conditions  in  this  field,  in  the 
year  1888,  he  assumed  the  Presidency  of  the  Bank  of  Arizona,  and 
retained  that  office  until  the  hour  of  his  death,  having  previously  been 
a  director  of  this  banking  house.  A  few  years  before  engaging  in 
banking,  Mr.  Richards,  with  George  Bowers,  became  identified  with 
the  now  famous  United  Verde  Mine,  which  was  then  only  a  prospect, 
with  favorable  indications,  however,  showing  on  the  surface.  They 
performed  limited  development,  reaching  shallow  depth  with  primitive 
appliances.  A  few  years  later  the  property  was  sold  to  the  late  ex- 
Governor  F.  A.  Tritle  and  Leonard  Jerome  &  Brothers,  of  New  York 
City,  the  sum  paid  being  less  than  $35,000.  In  early  days  Mr. 
Richards  was  recognized  as  a  man  of  political  prominence,  and  was 
honored  by  being  elected  a  member  of  the  upper  house  of  the  Legisla- 
ture in  1875.  In  this  important  office,  he  rendered  efficient  service 
to  his  constituency,  and  figured  as  one  of  the  leaders  in  the  bitter

contest  that  prevailed  when  the  Capital  was  removed  from  Tucson  to 
Prescott  during  the  session.  Politically  a  staunch  Democrat,  he  was 
a  firm  believer  in  Arizona,  and  at  all  times  was  steadfast  in  advocating 
and  assisting  in  bettering  its  industrial  conditions.  For  many  years  a 
member  of  the  Masonic  fraternity,  Mr.  Richards  was  one  of  the  early 
members  of  Aztlan  Lodge  No.  1,  of  Prescott,  and  also  belonged  to 
Ivanhoe  Commandery,  Knights  Templar,  as  well  as  to  the  Mystic 
Shrine  of  Los  Angeles.  In  1890  Mr.  Richards  was  married  to  Miss 
Emma  Towne  of  East  Orange,  New  Jersey,  to  whom  he  was  always 
attached  with  a  courtesy  and  devotion  which  made  his  home  life  one 
of  singular  beauty  and  happiness.  His  death,  on  July  19,  1911, 
removed  one  of  Arizona's  leading  pioneers.  Honored  and  respected 
by  all,  he  was  an  upright  man,  conscientious  in  the  smallest  transac- 
tion, and  in  every  respect  a  good  citizen  and  a  builder  of  the  country. 
By  his  own  request,  expressed  at  a  recent  visit  to  his  father's  grave,  he 
was  buried  by  his  father's  side  in  Bellefontaine  Cemetery,  St.  Louis. 


EDMUND  W.  WELLS  was  born  on  a  farm  near  Lancaster,  Ohio, 
in  1847,  and  despite  his  sixty-five  years,  is  one  of  the  most  active  men, 
vitally  interested  in  all  public  questions  affecting  Arizona,  and  busied 
daily  with  the  details  of  his  large  business  interests.  Judge  Wells  is 
recognized  as  one  of  the  early  residents  of  Arizona,  having  come  here 
from  Colorado  in  1864,  and  located  in  the  vicinity  of  th,e  San  Fran- 
cisco mountains,  where  he  did  prospecting.  After  a  time,  however, 
he  removed  to  Prescott,  while  that  town  was  surrounded  by  the 
hostile  Apache,  and  his  occupations  of  mining  and  stock  raising  were 
hazardous  in  the  extreme.  About  that  time  the  Government  estab- 
lished Fort  Whipple,  and  Judge  Wells  entered  their  employ  in  the 
quartermaster  and  commissary  departments.  From  there  he  was 
transferred  to  Camp  Lincoln,  on  the  Verde,  but  soon  tiring  of  the 
strenuous  service  in  this  capacity,  he  enageged  in  ranching  at  Clear 
Creek,  and  after  two  years  quit  ranching  and  took  a  clerical  position. 
In  1867  he  was  appointed  Clerk  of  the  District  Court  at  Prescott, 
which  position  he  held  until  1874.  In  1875  was  admitted  to  the  bar, 
having  studied  law  during  his  leisure  hours  under  Chief  Justice 
William  F.  Turner.  He  then  formed  a  partnership  with  John  A. 
Rush,  with  whom  he  was  associated  thirteen  years.  Shortly  after- 
ward he  was  elected  District  Attorney  of  Yavapai  County,  and  at  the 
expiration  of  his  term  was  re-elected.  He  has  also  served  as  Assistant 
United  States  Attorney  for  Arizona,  has  twice  represented  his  county 
in  the  Territorial  Council,  and  in  1887  was  a  member  of  the  com- 
mission appointed  to  revise  and  codify  the  Territorial  Statutes.  In 
1883  he  retired  from  the  practice  of  law,  but  in  1891  accepted  an 
appointment  from  President  Harrison  as  United  States  District 
Judge.  During  Governor  Brodie's  administration  Judge  Wells  was 
Attorney  General  for  the  Territory,  and  in  1910  was  one  of  the  few 
Republicans  chosen  as  delegates  to  the  Constitutional  Convention.  In

1882,  in  partnership  with  the  late  Hugo  Richards,  he  became  inter- 
ested in  the  Bank  of  Arizona  at  Prescott,  and  is  now  its  President. 
He  has  also  large  property  interests  in  that  city  and  in  Phoenix,  and 
heavy  mining  interests,  especially  in  the  Hillside  District  of  Yavapai 
County.  Throughout  his  life,  Judge  Wells's  conduct  has  ever  been 
notable  for  fidelity  to  public  trusts  vested  in  him,  which  has  won  for 
him  the  highest  esteem  wherever  known.  He  was  the  choice  of  the 
Republican  party  for  first  governor  of  the  State,  but  with  his  party 
met  defeat  at  the  polls.  He  is  a  32°  Mason,  Knights  Templar  and 
member  of  the  Mystic  Shrine.  Judge  Wells  was  married  in  1869  to 
Miss  Rosalind  Banghart,  a  native  of  London,  Ontario,  and  daughter 
of  George  Banghart,  one  of  the  well  known  pioneers  of  Arizona.

MOSES  B.  HAZELTIXE,  one  of  the  most  prominent  figures  in  the 
banking  world  of  the  Southwest,  and  Vice  President  of  the  pioneer 
bank  of  the  State,  the  Bank  of  Arizona,  is  a  native  of  Ohio.  He  was 
born  in  Foster,  in  1865.  His  parents,  Moses  B.  and  Katherine  Sher- 
man Hazeltine,  both  NewT  Englanders,  were  pioneers  of  the  Buckeye 
State,  having  come  to  Ohio  when  it  was  little  more  than  a  wilderness. 
Born  in  an  atmosphere  of  development,  Mr.  Hazeltine  had  a  natural 
inclination  for  pioneering  the  West.  For  nearly  a  generation  Mr. 
Hazeltine  has  been  in  the  forefront  of  civic,  religious,  and  business 
affairs  of  the  Mile  High  City,  and  no  man  stands  higher  among  his 
fellow  citizens  and  neighbors.  Many  years  of  experience  as  a  banker 
places  him  among  the  leaders  as  a  financier,  and  under  his  manage- 
ment the  Bank  of  Arizona  has  become  one  of  the  strongest  financial 
institutions  in  the  Southwest.  He  was  cashier  of  the  institution  for 
fourteen  years  and  in  1912  he  became  vice  president,  this  position  car- 
rying with  it  practically  the  entire  management,  as  the  president, 
Edmund  W.  Wells,  has  so  many  private  interests  he  gives  little  time 
tc  the  bank.  Mr.  Hazeltine  is  president  of  the  Yavapai  County  Sav- 
ings Bank,  an  institution  which  has  the  best  record  of  any  institution 
of  its  kind  in  the  United  States.  He  is  secretary-treasurer  of  a  brick 
manufacturing  plant,  the  only  large  factory  in  Yavapai  County,  sec- 
retary of  the  Yavapai  Water  Company,  and  one  of  the  partners  of  the 
large  cattle  firm  of  Fain,  Heath  &  Co.  Despite  his  many  interests  in 
the  commercial  and  industrial  life  of  the  state,  he  finds  time  to  take 
an  active  interest  in  the  Chamber  of  Commerce,  of  which  he  is  a  di- 
rector and  active  worker,  to  the  Prescott  Auto  Club  of  wThich  he  is 
president,  and  to  the  Congregational  Church  of  which  he  is  an  officer. 
He  is  the  founder  and  director  of  the  Apollo  Club,  a  choir  of  men's 
voices,  which  has  been  very  successful.  Mr.  Hazeltine  married  Miss 
Anna  M.  Criley,  daughter  of  a  pioneer  physician  of  Prescott,  and 
they  have  three  fine  sons,  John,  M.  Bonsall  and  Sherman. 


C.  A.  PETER,  Cashier  of  the  Bank  of  Arizona,  Prescott,  is  the  son 
of  William  A.  and  Diana  Freeman  Peter,  of  Illinois.  His  father  was 
a  California  Forty-niner,  who  removed  to  that  State  and  engaged  in 
mining  in  Yuba  County.  In  that  county  C.  A.  Peter  was  born  in 
1857,  but  the  family  returned  to  Illinois  four  years  later  and  there  he 
grew  to  manhood  and  was  educated.  His  first  business  association 
was  in  Edinburg,  Illinois,  and  he  was  later  employed  in  a  bank  in 
Central,  that  State,  where  he  held  several  positions,  and  secured  his 
first  experience  in  the  financial  world.  He  came  to  Arizona  in  1882 
and  has  since  made  his  home  in  Prescott,  with  the  exception  of  several 
years  spent  in  other  sections  for  the  benefit  of  Mrs.  Peter's  health. 
During  all  the  years  of  his  residence  here  he  has  been  in  the  employ  of 
The  Bank  of  Arizona,  having  served  for  many  years  as  Assistant 
Cashier,  and  two  years  ago  he  was  promoted  to  the  post  of  Cashier.

MEL  GREENLEAF,  Sheriff  of  Yuma  County,  is  one  of  the  best 
known  peace  officers  in  Arizona,  and  has  been  identified  with  the 
official  life  of  the  Territory  for  many  years,  his  present  term  being  the 
fourth  he  has  served  as  sheriff.  He  was  well  fitted  for  this  position 
when  he  was  first  elected  in  1893,  but  since  that  time  has  had  a  va- 
riety of  experience  which  has  made  him  even  better  qualified  to  act 
as  the  executive  head  of  one  of  the  largest  counties  in  Arizona.  While 
he  is  best  known  as  a  cattleman,  he  has  been  active  in  railroad  circles, 
having  held  a  position  as  yardmaster  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Company 
in  Yuma  for  some  time.  He  was  also  engaged  in  farming,  teaming 
and  other  enterprises  necessary  in  the  upbuilding  of  a  new  country,  and

has  spent  large  sums  of  money  in  the  development  of  different  mining 
properties.  Mel  Greenleaf  is  a  native  of  Missouri,  where  his  parents, 
E.  F.  Greenleaf  and  Lucy  Ann  Sweet  Greenleaf,  were  among  the 
pioneers.  His  father  was  a  prominent  physician,  and  was  identified 
with  the  political,  social  and  fraternal  life  of  Missouri  and  of  Cali- 
fornia, having  moved  to  the  latter  state  when  the  present  Sheriff  was 
but  a  lad.  During  the  early  days  Mel  Greenleaf  was  one  of  thi 
best  known  Sheriffs  in  the  State,  and  many  noted  criminals  were 
brought  to  justice  through  the  efforts  of  himself  and  his  deputies, 
especially  the  cattle  rustlers  who  had  made  their  headquarters  in  that 
section  before  he  was  elected.  Sheriff  Greenleaf  takes  a  prominent  part 
in  the  political  life  of  the  State,  and  is  one  of  the  strong  factors  of 
the  Democratic  party.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Elks,  Moose  and  the 
Spanish-American  Alliance,  and  takes  an  active  part  in  the  different 
organizations  with  which  he  was  affiliated.  Mrs.  Greenleaf,  who 
wras  formerly  Miss  Braxton,  has  on  various  occasions  been  deputized 
by  her  husband  to  officially  take  charge  of  wromen  prisoners,  and  has 
disposed  of  her  charge  in  a  highly  capable  manner. 


J.  W.  BOGAN,  Assessor  of  Pima  County,  is  the  oldest  Assessor  in 
point  of  service  in  the  State  and  is  now  serving  his  third  term  in  the 
office.  He  has  been  identified  with  the  county  offices  for  a  number 
of  years.  He  was  chosen  Assessor  for  the  first  time  because  of  the 
variety  of  his  experience,  which  embraces  mining,  cattle  raising,  rail- 
roading, engineering  and  bridge  building,  and  gives  him  a  knowledge 
of  land  values.  He  was  re-elected  Assessor,  then  sent  to  the  Treas- 
urer's office,  where  he  again  served  the  voters  in  an  admirable  man- 
ner. When  statehood  was  an  assured  fact  it  was  thought  best  to 
secure  the  very  best  man  obtainable  to  pass  on  the  values  in  Pima, 
and  none  received  more  favorable  mention  than  J.  W.  Bogan.  He 
was  nominated  and  elected  by  a  large  majority.  Mr.  Bogan's  parents 
were  pioneers  of  California,  his  father  having  been  a  forty-niner. 
J.  W.  Bogan  was  born  in  California  in  1855,  of  John  and  Anna 
Byrne  Bogan.  After  having  had  a  few  years  in  the  mountain  district 
schools,  when  not  busy  helping  till  the  soil  or  work  about  the  mines, 
he  went  to  Sierra  county,  thence  to  San  Diego  at  the  age  of  eighteen, 
\\here  he  worked  at  th?  blacksmith  trade  two  years.  HP  then  joined 
the  engineering  corps  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Railroad  Company,  with 
whom  he  remained  until  they  reached  Yuma,  and  there  with  George 
Norton,  now  a  resident  of  Yuma,  had  charge  of  the  building  of  the 
first  bridge  across  the  Yuma  River.  In  1878  he  moved  to  Tucson, 
which  has  since  been  his  home.  He  was  united  in  marriage  to  Miss 
Katherine  Stuart,  and  to  the  union  have  been  born  two  boys,  Ivo  and 
Stuart.  The  former  holds  a  position  with  the  Southern  Pacific  Rail- 
road company,  while  Stuart  is  in  the  office  with  his  father.  J.  W.

Kansas,  and  graduated  from  the  High  School.  He  later  attended  the 
Normal  School  in  Salina,  and  then  took  a  complete  business  course  in 
the  same  city.  For  some  years  he  conducted  a  grain  elevator  at 
Niles,  Kansas,  but  seeing  better  prospects  of  success  in  the  bright 
future  which  seemed  inevitable  for  Arizona,  he  came  to  Phoenix  in 
1900  and  located  there.  His  first  occupation  there  was  in  the  employ 
of  the  S.  J.  Tribbolet  meat  market.  He  then  served  on  the  police 
force  of  the  city  for  three  years,  made  an  excellent  record  in  that  posi-

tion  for  efficiency  and  fidelity  to  duty,  and  for  a  time  served  in  the 
double  capacity  of  Fire  Chief  and  police  officer.  It  was  during  his 
term  of  service  in  the  dual  capacity  that  the  Adams  Hotel  was  con- 
sumed by  fire,  and  it  was  only  because  of  Mr.  Sullivan's  magnificent 
ability,  sound  judgment,  presence  of  mind  and  superb  management 
that  the  fire  was  confined  to  the  small  territory  destroyed,  as  the  out- 
look at  times  was  very  threatening  to  the  adjacent  portions  of  the 
city.  As  a  just  reward  for  ability  and  bravery  displayed  on  that 
occasion,  Mr.  Sullivan  was  shortly  afterward  appointed  Chief  of  the 
City  Fire  Department,  an  appointment  which  met  with  general  ap- 
proval. Mr.  Sullivan  is  unmarried,  but  is  owner  of  a  very  comfort- 
able home  in  Phoenix,  which  is  shared  by  his  brothers  and  sisters. 


CHARLES  ALEXANDER,  Assistant  Superintendent  of  Schools  in 
Maricopa  County,  spent  his  early  years  on  a  farm  near  Blackburn,

of  Strabane,  Ireland,  who  emi- 
grated to  this  country  in  early 
manhood,  fully  possessed  of 
Scotch-Irish  traits  of  character. 
His  mother,  Hannah  Hooper

though  advanced  in  years,  still 
live  on  the  farm  in  old  Mis- 
souri. While  still  a  boy, 
Charles  came  to  Arizona  and 
located  near  Tempe,  where  he 
took  advantage  of  the  proxim- 
ity of  the  Normal  and  entered 
the  senior  year,  graduating  in 
1903.  He  then  spent  four 
years  in  various  Universities  of 
the  country,  specializing  in  his- 
tory, philosophy  and  economics. 
In  1907  the  University  of  Ari- 
zona conferred  upon  him  the 

degree  of  Bachelor  of  Philosophy.  Upon  leaving  the  University  he  en- 
gaged for  a  time  in  newspaper  work,  and  was  for  some  time  city  editor 
of  the  Tucson  Citizen.  Upon  being  elected  principal  of  the  schools  at 
Tempe,  newspaper  work  was  abandoned,  and  he  has  since  been  em- 
ployed in  school  work.  He  takes  a  lively  interest  in  all  public  affairs,

J.  B.  GIRAND  was  born  May  20,  1873,  at  Austin,  Texas.  He  com- 
pleted the  high  school  course  in  1888  and  entered  the  Agricultural  & 
Mechanical  College  of  Texas,  as  student  in  civil  engineering,  being 
sufficiently  advanced  to  enter  the  third  class.  He  remained  there  until 
1891,  having  successively  passed  from  third  to  second,  and  from  sec- 
ond to  first  class.  He  left  during  the  last  year's  work  to  take  up  field 
work  in  Western  Texas.  On  the  organization  of  Moore  County, 
Texas,  in  1891,  he  was  elected  County  Surveyor.  In  1892,  on  the

was  appointed  to  fill  the  vacancy,  and  in  1894  was  elected  to  this  of-

fice.  During  the  time  he  was  County  Surveyor  of  Moore  County,  and 
while  District  Surveyor  of  the  Oldham  Land  District,  his  work  was 
principally  surveying  and  establishing  county  boundaries,  and  the 
usual  work  incident  to  such  an  office.  In  1895  he  resigned  the  office 
of  District  Surveyor  to  take  up  railroad  work,  and  went  with  the 
Texas  Midland  Railway,  under  M.  Duval,  Chief  Engineer,  as  topo-

J.  KNOX  CORBETT,  one  of  Arizona's  influential  and  prosperous  busi- 
ness men,  who  has  sturdily  pressed  his  way  forward  to  the  leading 
ranks  from  a  small  beginning,  was  born  June  20,  1861,  at  Sumter, 
S.  C.,  of  Scotch-French  extraction.  His  paternal  grandfather  was  a 
native  of  Scotland,  but  his  maternal  ancestors  have  been  in  America 
for  several  generations,  and  some  of  them  fought  for  our  independ- 
ence in  the  Revolution.  Mr.  Corbett  began  learning  the  lumber 
business  when  but  a  boy,  in  the  employ  of  Samuel  Graham  in  his  home 
town,  with  whom  he  remained  four  years.  He  first  came  to  Arizona 
in  January,  1880,  when  he  made  the  journey  from  Albuquerque  to 
Tucson  by  stage  coach.  His  first  position  there,  which  he  retained 
for  three  years,  was  as  postal  clerk,  and  after  an  interval  of  about  a 
year,  during  which  he  ran  a  stage  coach  between  Tucson  and  Silver 
Bell,  he  served  as  assistant  postmaster  for  four  years.  In  the  mean- 
time he  had  become  interested  in  the  cattle  business,  established  a 
ranch  in  the  Rincon  mountains,  and  at  the  expiration  of  his  term  in

permanent  home  in  Tucson,  and  in  1890  was  appointed  postmaster 
there.  Upon  retiring  from  office  in  1894  he  engaged  in  the  lumber 
business,  which  constantly  increased  in  its  scope  until  he  was  pro- 
prietor of  the  largest  business  in  that  line  in  Southern  Arizona.  Mr. 
Corbett  is  known  throughout  the  State  as  a  representative  business 
man  and  Republican.  He  is  a  prominent  member  of  the  Elks.  In 
1885  he  married  Miss  Lizzie  Hughes,  one  of  Tucson's  native  daugh-

the  State. 

EDWARD  P.  GRIXDELL,  former  Secretary  Chamber  of  Commerce, 
Douglas,  and  son  of  William  and  Margaret  McMurry  Grindell,  was 
born  in  Platteville,  Wisconsin,  July  3,  1873,  and  received  his  edu- 
cation in  that  State.  He  first  came  to  Arizona  with  his  brother, 

Thomas  Grindell,  in  1897, 
and  settled  in  Tempe,  his 
brother  having  been  one  of 
the  instructors  at  the  Tempe 
Normal  School.  Later,  how- 
ever, Thomas  Grindell 
joined  the  Rough  Riders 
under  Roosevelt,  and  served 
during  the  Spanish-Ameri- 
can War.  On  his  return 
to  Arizona  he  served  for  two 
years  as  Clerk  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  of  the  Terri- 
tory, then  when  on  an  explor- 
ation trip  in  Sonora,  died  of 
thirst  on  the  Tiburon  desert.

of  gentlemen  from  McDowell.  The  music  by  the  Fifth  Cavalry  Band 
was  extremely  good ;  the  supper,  at  the  Capital  house,  was  excellent ; 
dancing  wras  kept  up  all  night  and  the  whole  affair  passed  off  very 
pleasantly.  Thanks  are  due  to  Mr.  Pope  for  his  untiring  energy  in 
the  management  of  the  affair,  as  well  as  to  the  gentlemen  on  the  vari- 
ous committees,  and  to  J.  D.  Monihon  in  particular. 

During  the  night  the  bride  and  groom  attracted  much  attention. 
The  bride  and  her  sister,  dressed  in  white,  moving  in  the  giddy  mazes 
of  the  dance,  appeared  visions  of  loveliness,  and  Mr.  Kenyon,  looking 
the  picture  of  happiness,  was  pronounced  the  luckiest  man  living. 


AMANDA   M.  CHINGREN  has  been   in  the  Indian  service  for  the 
past  ten  years,  during  which  she  has  served  as  matron  and  teacher  of 

Domestic  Science  at  both  the 
Phoenix  and  Sacaton  schools. 
She  is  now  the  representative 
in  Phoenix  in  charge  of  all 
the  Indian  young  men  and 
women  who  have  been  edu- 
cated in  the  Government 
schools  and  are  employed  in 
domestic  service.  Miss  Chin- 
gren  is  intensely  interested  in 
the  welfare  of  Indian  young 
women,  her  years  of  experi- 
ence in  this  work  has  given 
her  a  thorough  knowledge  of 
the  characteristics  of  the  race, 
and  made  her  especially  qual- 
ified for  her  position.  Of  the 
several  hundred  young  wo- 
men with  whom  she  is  con- 
stantly brought  in  personal 
contact  she  can  call  each  one 
by  name,  is  fully  acquainted 
with  her  qualifications  and 
special  fitness  for  certain  po- 
sitions, and  her  intercourse 
with  each  is  dominated  by  the 
purely  personal  note  that 
proves  such  an  advantage  in 
every  case  to  both  the  girl 
and  her  employer.  Miss 
Chingren  is  a  native  of  Illi- 
nois, where  she  was  educated,  but  in  her  years  in  Arizona,  especially 
in  Phoenix  and  vicinity,  has  gained  many  firm  friends.

HINSON  THOMAS,  one    of    Globe's    most  valued  and  prominent 
citizens,  was  born  in  Mobile,  Alabama,  in  1854,  received  his  education

Arizona  he  has  lived  in  various  sec- 
tions, held  various  positions  and  be- 
come thoroughly  familiar  with  the

especially  in  mining,  as  he  has  spent 
much  time  in  prospecting  and  mining. 
Mr.  Thomas  has  held  numerous  offi-

He  was  married  in  1886  to  Miss  Ynez  Sanchez,  of  Florence.       He  is 
a  lifelong  Democrat,  and  member  of  several  fraternal  organizations. 


A.  W.  SYDNOR,  of  Globe,  Arizona,  who  has  held  the  position  of 
Immigration  Commissioner  of  Gila  County  for  several  years,  is  widely 
known  over  the  Southwest,  having  been  in  business  in  several 
localities  during  the  past  quarter  century,  and  employed  by  a 
majority  of  the  large  railroads  of  the  Southwest.  Mr.  Sydnor  was 
born  on  a  farm  in  Contra  Costa  County,  California,  in  1861.  His 
parents  were  John  B.  and  Fannie  J.  Howser  Sydnor,  the  former  being 
one  of  the  first  Superior  Court  Judges  of  that  State.  Mr.  Sydnor

settlers  to  the  Gila  Valley. 


AMOS  WILSON  COLE,  Corporation  Commissioner,  has  been  a  Mis- 
souri politician  since  early  youth,  when  he  displayed  a  strong  propen- 
sity for  this  game,  and  has  no  comprehension  of  the  word  defeat  when 
personally  applied.  In  his  native  State  it  has  been  rightfully  his 
through  the  efforts  of  none  other  than  the  illustrious  Champ  Clark, 
against  whom  he  made  a  strong  fight  when  both  were  quite  young. 
He  was  entirely  put  out  of  the  running  by  Champ,  but  later,  largely 
through  the  latter's  influence,  he  secured  a  position  with  the  State 
Legislature,  an  undisputed  evidence  that  he  is  a  good  loser  in  the 
political  game,  and  possessed  of  illimitable  perseverance.  Mr.  Cole 
was  born  in  Danville,  Missouri,  and  educated  in  the  public  schools 
and  the  University  of  Missouri.  He  has  spent  a  considerable  por- 
tion of  his  life  on  the  frontier,  and  the  past  ten  years  of  it  in  Arizona. 
He  has  been  employed  as  smelterman  in  Douglas,  and  has  the  reputa- 
tion in  mining  circles  o-f  being  one  of  the  best  known  in  the  State. 
He  was  a  member  of  the  City  Council  of  Douglas  for  two  years,  and 
served  as  Secretary  of  the  Constitutional  Convention.  At  the  first 
State  election  he  was  chosen  member  of  the  Corporation  Commission 
on  the  Democratic  ticket.  As  much  of  the  business  of  the  commission 
deals  with  mining  matters,  Mr.  Cole's  thorough  understanding  of  this 
industry  in  the  State  has  been  of  great  fundamental  value  in  their 
work.  On  February  18,  1891,  Mr.  Cole  was  married  to  Miss  Mary 
O.  Baker,  and  to  their  union  have  been  born  the  following  children : 
Lillian  F.,  Carlee  M.,  lone,  Genevieve,  Amos,  Jr.,  and  Marguerite. 


HARRY  JENNINGS,  Lowell,  son  of  Harry  and  Stella  O'Malley 
Jennings,  was  born  in  County  Mayo,  Ireland,  and  came  to  the  LTnited 
States  in  1891.  He  went  direct  to  Leadville,  Colorado,  where  he 
remained  five  years,  and  on  Christmas,  1896,  he  came  to  Arizona  and 
located  in  Bisbee,  where  for  seven  years  he  was  a  member  of  the 
police  force.  He  later  removed  to  Lowell,  his  present  home,  and 
engaged  in  business.  Air.  Jennings  is  a  firm  Democrat,  and  at 
present  a  member  of  the  Democratic  State  Central  Committee.  He 
served  as  Chairman  of  the  local  delegation  to  the  first  State  conven- 
tion. He  was  one  of  the  members  of  the  Arizona  Volunteers  for  the 
Spanish-American  war,  but  the  organization  failed  to  be  mustered  in 
for  service.  On  March  7,  1905,  Mr.  Jennings  was  married  to 
Stella  Muldoon,  and  the  issue  of  the  union  is  three  sons,  Harry, 
Hugh  and  John.

of  Mexico  when  Benito  Juarez  was  the  president.  By  profession 
Captain  Mix  is  a  consulting  engineer,  and  in  this  capacity  his  attention 
was  for  some  years  occupied  in  important  enterprises  in  Mexico, 
especially  in  the  national  capital.  He  still  has  property  interests  in 
our  sister  republic,  and  owns  considerable  real  estate  in  Nogales.  He 
is  the  proprietor  of  the  Nacional  Pharmacy  in  Nogales,  but  does  not 
actively  engage  in  its  management.  He  is  also  President  of  the 
Nogales  Electric  Light,  Ice  and  Water  Company,  and  Vice  President 
of  the  wealthy  and  influential  corporation  of  Roy  &  Titcomb,  Inc.

American  Club  in  the  City  of  Mexico,  and  also  of  the  Country  Club 
of  the  city.  In  the  capacity  of  Mayor  of  Nogales  he  does  not 
permit  his  extensive  personal  interests  to  interfere  with  his  official 
duties.  In  conjunction  with  the  military  and  civic  police 
authorities,  he  personally  did  effective  work  on  the  day  of  the 
battle  of  Nogales — March  13,  1913 — in  preserving  order  and  keeping 
people  out  of  the  danger  zone  on  the  American  side  of  the  interna- 
tional line.  The  military  officers  appreciated  highly  his  advice  and  co- 
operation. Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mix  have  five  children:  Elena — Mrs 
A.  L.  B.  Johnson — Josefine,  Beatriz,  Consuelo  and  Leandro.

Mr.  Hotchkiss  recently  resigned  his  position  to  give  his  attention  to 
his  private  business.  His  record  in  office  is  such,  that  should  he  seek 
any  other  position  in  County  or  State,  he  would  receive  liberal  support 
in  Cochise,  and  his  friends  are  already  urging  him  to  announce  his  can- 
didacy for  the  position  of  State  Treasurer.

demonstrated  his  immense  popularity.  Mr.  Hicks  has,  since  assuming 
the  office,  shown  great  skill  in  handling  the  county  funds  and  his 
methods  of  conducting  this  important  office  have  met  with  absolute

died  at  the  age  of 
88,  full  of  honors 
and  respected  by  all. 
Mr.  Johnson's  an-

teacher  on  the  plains 
of  Texas  in  1894, 
and  in  1896  he  was 
elected  County  and

THOMAS  A.  PASCOE  was  born  in  Galena,  Illinois,  in  1846,  where 
his  parents,  William  T.  and  Mary  Pascoe,  made  their  first  home 
in  the  United  States  on  corning  from  England.  When  Mr.  Pascoe 
was  but  six  years  old  the  family  removed  to  California,  and  there  he 
was  educated  in  the  public  schools  and  received  the  training  which 
fitted  him  for  the  responsibilities  of  future  life.  In  1881  he  came  to 
Arizona  and  located  in  Globe,  which  was  then  the  home  of  but  a  few 
sturdy  miners  and  prospectors,  and  for  the  next  four  years  he  became 
one  of  the  band  and  engaged  in  like  occupation.  At  that  time  his 
brother,  B.  F.  Pascoe,  was  Sheriff  of  Gila  County,  and  during  part 
of  the  time  he  served  as  under  sheriff.  In  1886  he  established  the 
Pascoe  livery  barn,  in  connection  with  which  he  conducted  a  hay  and 
grain  business.  This  proved  a  substantial  success,  but  he  disposed 
of  the  business  in  1889  to  his  brother,  and  became  interested  with 
others  in  erecting  water  works  for  Globe,  an  enterprise  which  proved 
of  immense  advantage  to  the  town.  Mr.  Pascoe  has  long  been  known 
as  promoter  of  some  of  the  most  substantial  projects  for  the  benefit  of 
Globe  and  vicinity.  Among  his  other  interests  are  farming  and 
stock  raising,  which  he  has  conducted  on  a  large  scale.  He  is  also 
Vice  President  and  Director  of  the  Gila  Vallev  Bank  &  Trust 
Company.  In  politics  he  is  a  staunch  Republican,  deeply  interested 
in  his  party's  undertakings  and  success,  but  has  never  entertained 
political  aspirations.  He  is  an  active  member  of  the  Masonic  order 
and  Knights  Templar,  and  in  the  latter  order  was  elected  Eminent 
Commander,  Globe  Commandery  No.  5,  in  1913.  In  1886  Mr. 
Pascoe  was  married  to  Mrs.  Elsie  Nichols,  a  native  of  Scotland.

he  was  elected  by  a  very  large  vote,  he  has  proven  one  of  the  strongest 
men  in  the  House,  several  of  the  bills  introduced  by  him  at  the  first 
session  having  become  laws,  among  them  being  the  Carey  Act.  At 
the  special  session  Mr.  Drennan  was  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on 
Agriculture  and  Irrigation,  and  served  on  the  Public  Lands,  Mines 
and  Mining,  Corporations,  and  Banking  and  Insurance  Committee?. 
He  is  a  member  of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.,  Lodge  No.  330,  of  Prescott ;

Louis  W.  POWELL,  of  Warren,  who  has  played  an  important  part 
in  the  development  of  the  copper  mining  industry  in  Arizona, 
was  born  in  New  Madrid,  Missouri,  May  3,  1866.  He  is  the  son  of 
John  E.  and  Virginia  Nash  Fontaine  Powell.  His  father  was  a 
planter  and  merchant  of  Missouri.  While  Mr.  Powell's  main 
interest  has  been  copper  mining  during  his  residence  in  Arizona,  he 
has  manifested  a  most  commendable  public  spirit,  and  has  been  a 
willing  and  powerful  aid  in  any  movement  that  has  meant  civic,  in- 
dustrial or  social  advancement.  Especially  has  this  been  true  in  the 
Warren  District,  where  he  was  the  prime  mover  in  the  financing  and 
building  of  the  street  railway  connecting  the  various  sections  of  this 
district.  He  wras  also  the  leading  spirit  in  the  organization  of  the 
Warren  District  Country  Club,  and  was  its  first  President.  He  is 
Vice  President  and  Director  of  the  First  National  Bank  of  Douglas, 
and  one  of  its  heaviest  stockholders;  while  in  any  event  that  promised 
to  be  of  general  interest  to  the  community,  he  has  displayed  a  keen 
disposition  to  improve  the  occasion,  even  though  not  prompted  by  a 
personal  motive.  Mr.  Powell  passed  his  early  life  in  his  native 
State,  where  he  was  educated,  partially  by  private  tutors  and  partially 
in  the  public  schools  of  St.  Louis.  He  then  entered  Washington  & 
Lee  University,  at  Lexington,  Virginia.  He  started  out,  after  having 
completed  his  education,  as  merchant  and  farmer,  later  was  engaged  in 
real  estate  business,  and  eventually  drifted  into  mining,  his  first  em- 
ployment in  this  capacity  having  been  in  the  iron  mines  of  northern 
Michigan.  When  the  $1,000,000,000  U.  S.  Steel  corporation  was 
formed,  it  took  the  best  men  obtainable  in  the  country  as  directing 
heads.  Mr.  Powell  appointed  president  of  the  Oliver  Iron  Mining 
Company,  having  charge  of  all  their  mining  interests,  and  was  vice 
president  of  their  steamship  company.  In  1906  he  resigned  and  came 
to  Bisbee  where  he  became  associated  with  the  Calumet  &  Arizona 
Company  and  their  allied  interests  in  the  capacity  of  Vice

President  and  General  Manager.  On  Mr.  Powell's  arrival  all  the 
properties  looked  promising,  but  the  management  had  exhausted  the 
available  funds  without  accomplishing  the  desired  results,  and  it  was 
essential  that  some  one  with  the  ability  to  renew  confidence  in  the  oper- 
ations should  assume  charge,  and  Mr.  Powell  was  the  man  selected 
for  that  purpose.  When  he  assumed  control  these  companies  were 
enabled  to  raise  sufficient  money  to  continue  development,  were  soon 
put  on  a  big  earning  basis  by  Mr.  Powell,  and  have  since  been  merged 
with  the  Calumet  &  Arizona.  In  addition  to  this,  to  Mr.  Powell's 
foresight  and  complete  knowledge  of  mining  conditions  in  the  region 
may  be  attributed  the  fact  that  the  Calumet  &  Arizona  holdings  now 
include  some  of  their  most  valuable  property.  He  also  remodeled  the 
old  smelter  at  Dougals,  practically  rebuilt  it,  and  doubled  its  capacity, 
and  during  the  past  decade  has  played  altogether  an  important  part 
and  become  a  prominent  factor  in  the  development  of  the  industry  in 
Arizona..  In  fraternal  life  Mr.  Powell  is  equally  wrell  known.  He 
is  a  32nd  degree  Mason  and  member  of  the  Mystic  Shrine,  B.  P.  O. 
E.  and  A.  O.  U.  W.  He  is  also  a  member  of  the  California  Club, 
Los  Angeles,  the  Kichi  Gammi  Club,  Duluth,  and  the  Chicago  Club, 
Chicago.  Mrs.  Powell,  formerly  Miss  Allie  Moore  Jewell,  of  Lex- 
ington, Virginia,  is  the  daughter  of  Major  William  T.  Jewell,  who 
was  an  officer  in  the  Confederate  Army  during  the  Civil  War.  Mr. 
Powell  has  five  children,  two  daughters  and  three  sons.

Association,  and  farmer  and  cattle  grower,  is  one  of  the  pioneers 
of  Maricopa  County,  and  has  wielded  a  wonderful  influence  along 
the  lines  of  progress  in  Arizona  for  many  years.  Mr.  Orme

in  the  Revolution  and  early  history  of  Virginia.  He  received  his 
early  education  in  the  public  schools  of  his  native  State,  and  in  1866 
entered  the  University  of  Missouri  as  student  of  civil  engineering,  at 
which  he  was  afterward  employed,  having  graduated  in  1868.  His 
first  position  was  as  resident  engineer  for  the  Texas  &  Pacific  Rail- 
road in  Southeastern  Texas.  There  he  lost  his  health,  and 
in  an  effort  to  have  it  completely  restored  he  lived  successively 
in  Baltimore,  Colorado  and  Los  Angeles,  and  finally,  in 
1877,  came  to  Arizona,  which  has  since  been  his  home.  He 
secured  a  ranch  of  800  acres,  and  engaged  in  the  development  of  the 
same  and  cattle  raising.  He  soon  became  interested  in  irrigation 
as  an  essential  to  the  development  of  the  Valley,  and  was  one  of  the 
three  men  who  constructed  the  Maricopa  canal,  which  proved  of 
incalculable  benefit  to  the  district,  and  he  served  as  Superintendent  and 
Director  of  the  Company.  A  true  Democrat,  he  was  for  years  actively 
interested  in  his  party's  affairs,  and  served  nine  years  as  Supervisor

JOHN  NELSON,  Sheriff  of  Pima  County,  has  all  of  the  qualifica-

of  Arizona  for  more  than  a  score  of  years,  and  has  been  interested  in 
those  industries  which  are  most  important  in  Pima  County — ranching, 

cattle-raising  and  mining.  He  is 
well  acquainted  in  Arizona,  but 
especially  so  in  Pima  County,  and 
this  acquaintance  has  stood  him  in 
good  stead  during  his  two  terms  as 
Sheriff.  He  had  never  held  office 
before  his  first  term  as  Sheriff,  but 
his  work  was  so  satisfactory  that  he

John  Nelson  came  to  the  United 
States  when  he  was  thirteen  years  of 
age,  and  for  some  time  lived  with  an 
uncle  on  a  ranch  in  Kansas.  When 
he  first  came  to  Arizona  he  located  in 
Cochise  County,  but  a  few  years 
later  came  to  Pima  and  bought  a 
ranch  about  twenty  miles  northwest 
of  Tucson,  and  resided  there  contin- 
uously until  elected  to  the  Sheriff's

years  ago,  and  to  the  union  were 
born  three  children.  Ina,  Myron  and 
Hannah.  Mrs.  Nelson  died  last 
summer.  John  Nelson  has  filled 
the  office  of  Sheriff  in  a  satisfactory  manner,  and  through  his  efforts 
the  county  has  been  rid  of  cattle  thieves,  rustlers  and  other  undesir- 
ables. He  has  the  entire  confidence  of  the  citizenship  of  the  county, 
and  his  administration  has  been  a  credit  to  himself  and  the  people 
who  by  their  votes  placed  him  in  office.

JOHN  ROLFING,  Chief  of  Police  of  Tucson,  one  of  the  most  popular 
and  capable  officers  in  the  State,  was  born  in  Spencer  County,  Indiana, 
May  9,  1873.  He  is  the  son  of  Henry  and  Mary  Bahn  Rolfing,  both 
natives  of  Germany,  and  both  of  whom  were  brought  to  this  country 
at  the  age  of  five  by  their  parents,  who  settled  in  Cincinnnati.  Chief 
Rolfing  attended  the  public  schools  and  at  the  age  of  fifteen  began  an 
apprenticeship  at  boilermaking,  which  he  completed,  and  at  which 
trade  he  worked  for  a  number  of  years  in  various  of  the  western  states 
as  well  as  in  Indiana,  and  for  nine  years  he  was  employed  as  boiler 
inspector  for  the  Southern  Pacific  railroad  at  Tucson.  For  years  he 
has  been  a  member  of  the  Boilermakers'  Union,  and  has  been  keenly 
interested  in  all  labor  matters.  In  1906  he  was  the  Tucson  delegate 
to  a  general  meeting  composed  of  representatives  of  all  the  crafts, 
held  in  San  Francisco  for  the  purpose  of  endeavoring  to  have  abolished 
the  personal  record  and  physical  examination  feature  of  the  system  of 
employing  men  in  the  various  departments  of  the  Southern  Pacific 
railroad.  In  this  meeting  were  representatives  of  the  various  unions 
employed  in  the  different  capacities,  and  their  purpose  was  accom- 
plished, with  the  result  that  these  features  were  abolished  over  the 
entire  Southern  Pacific  system.  Chief  Rolfing  is  a  Democrat  of  a  life- 
time, has  always  been  a  worker  in  political  affairs,  but  prior  to  his

Arizona.  He  is  best  known  for  the  work  he  has  accomplished  in 
building  different  State  highways,  and  it  is  to  him  that  a  large  part  of 
the  credit  is  due  for  the  building  of  the  first  Territorial  highways. 
Mr.  Toohey  was  not  at  all  dismayed  by  the  problems  presented  in  the 
building  of  these  long  stretches  across  the  desert,  and  his  work  was  so 
thorough  that  the  roads  built  by  him  are  among  the  best  in  Arizona

ROBERT  E.  MORRISOX,  attorney  at  law,  was  born  in  Chicago  July 
13,  1856.  He  is  the  son  of  Honorable  A.  L.  and  Jane  Clark  Morri- 
son. His  father  came  to  this  country  from  Ireland  when  but  a  lad,  and 
proceeded  to  make  his  way  in  a  most  remarkable  manner.  He  is  a 
veteran  of  the  Mexican  War,  and  is  an  active  resident  of  Santa  Fe, 
New  Mexico,  at  the  age  of  eighty-two  years.  While  other- 
wise regularly  engaged  providing  for  his  family,  he  took  up  the  study 
of  law  by  himself,  passed  the  required  examinations  and  was  admitted 
to  practice  in  Chicago  in  1868,  and  at  once  began  the  practice  of  his 
profession  in  that  city.  He  later  held  several  important  federal  ap- 
pointments, the  first  of  which  wTas  that  of  U.  S.  Marshal  of  New 
Mexico,  which  necessitated  his  removal  to  that  Territory.  Robert  E. 
Morrison  was  reared  and  educated  in  Chicago,  and  after  completing 
the  high  school  course,  entered  the  Union  College  of  Law,  from  which 
he  was  graduated  in  1877,  but  had  been  previously  admitted  to  prac- 
tice before  the  Supreme  Court.  There  he  practiced  until  the 
autumn  of  1883,  when  he  came  to  Arizona,  established  a  ranch  in 
Apache  County  and  was  engaged  there  in  cattle  business  for  three 
years.  He  was  then  elected  Judge  of  the  County,  which  position  en- 
tailed the  duties  of  ex-officio  Probate  Judge  and  Superintendent  of 
Schools.  As  County  Judge  he  aided  in  cleaning  up  Apache  County, 
which  for  several  years  had  been  the  resort  of  cattle  and  horse  thieves, 
and  under  the  control  of  dishonest  county  officials.  The  history  of 
that  county  during  these  years  reads  like  a  romance.  Resuming  his 
practice  at  the  expiration  of  his  term  he  was  located  at  St.  Johns 
until  1891,  wyhen  he  permanently  settled  in  Prescott.  The 
at  the  close  of  the  term  was  re-elected  by  a  much  larger  majority  than 
at  the  former  election.  In  1898  President  McKinley  appointed  him 
U.  S.  Attorney  for  Arizona,  in  which  capacity  he  served  most  ef- 
ficiently and  with  the  utmost  satisfaction.  In  1896  he  was  again 
elected  District  Attorney,  chiefly  to  continue  the  prosecution  of  crim- 
inal cases  against  prominent  citizens  of  his  county,  which  he  brought 
to  a  successful  conclusion.  Mr.  Morrison's  practice  has  steadily 
increased  in  volume,  and  he  is  regarded  as  one  of  the  safe 
lawyers  in  the  State  on  the  laws  pertaining  to  corporations  and 
mining  and  his  practice  extends  far  beyond  the  boundaries  of  his  own 
county.  He  is  a  member  of  the  Arizona  Bar  Association  and  the 
American  Bar  Association.  One  of  his  daughters,  Erin  R.,  is  a 
graduate  of  Trinity  College,  Washington,  D.  C.,  and  has  musical 
and  literary  talent  or  excellent  character.  Emmett,  his  son,  is  a 
student  at  Georgetown  University.  Another  son  is  one  of  the  Assist- 
ant Foresters  in  the  Forestry  Department  at  Washington.  Mrs. 
Lucy  W.  McDonnell,  a  daughter,  who  resides  with  him,  is  the  mother 
of  three  beautiful  girls,  and  Juanita,  his  daughter,  is  a  pupil  at  St. 
Joseph's  Academy,  in  Prescott.  Mr.  Morrison  is  a  well  known  mem- 
ber of  the  Knights  of  Columbus.

of  the  B.  P.  O.  E.,  is  the  Arizona  representative  of  Cooper,  Coate  & 

Casey,  wholesale  dry  goods  mer- 
chants of  California,  and  makes 
Phoenix  his  headquarters.  Mr. 
Pillion  was  born  in  St.  Louis  in 
1884,  and  is  the  son  of  Hubbard

Mr.  Pishon  was  graduated  from 
the  St.  Louis  High  School,  took 
his  first  position  in  the  stock 
room  of  a  large  dry  goods  house 
in  that  city  in  1898,  and  has 
since  been  employed  in  this  line 
in  various  capacities,  with  the 
result  that  he  is  thoroughly  con- 
versant with  all  details  of  his 
business.  He  came  to  Arizona 
in  1906,  the  year  in  which  the 
firm  now  employing  him  was 
organized,  and  has  since  been 
their  representative  in  the  State. 
He  is  well  known  and  extreme- 
ly popular  throughout  the  State

interests  of  the  State  Fair,  and  for  the  past  five  years  has  been  Super- 
intendent of  Concessions  and  Amusements.  In  this  capacity  his 
broad  knowledge  of  the  State,  its  people  and  their  tastes  has  made  his 
work  a  valuable  aid  to  the  general  success  of  the  annual  fair.

The  administration  of  the  present  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Yavapai 
has  been  marked  by  careful,  conscientious  and  business-like  methods. 
The  Board  is  composed  of  men  who  have  made  a  success  of  their  own 
business  in  widely  divergent  lines,  and  who  are,  therefore,  well  quali- 
fied to  handle  the  business  matters  of  the  county,  and  whose  acts  thus 
far  have  shown  careful  deliberation  and  knowledge  of  general  condi- 
tions. The  Chairman  of  the  Board  is  one  of  the  early  pioneers, 
one  who  has  been  identified  with  many  of  the  leading  enterprises  of 
the  State,  and  who  is  at  present  among  the  prime  movers  in  the  devel- 
opment of  one  of  the  sources  of  wealth  until  recently  unknown  in 
Arizona — oil.  The  same  may  be  said  of  both  the  other  members  of 
the  Board,  who  have,  been  associated  with  the  industrial  life  of  the 
State  for  years,  and  successful  in  their  own  affairs.  While  advo- 
cating economy,  they  believe  in  modern  business  methods,  and  have 
been  liberal  in  their  appropriations,  realizing  that  Yavapai  is  a  large, 
progressive  county,  with  need  of  a  large  budget  to  meet  the  require- 
ments of  its  rapidly  growing  schools  and  other  institutions 


WILLIAM  STEPHENS,  Chairman  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  has 
been  identified  for  many  years  with  the  interests  of  Yavapai,  having 
been  engaged  in  those  pursuits  which  greatly  enhance  the  prosperity 
of  the  State.  He  has  been  rancher,  cattleman,  and  one  of  the  pioneer 
merchants,  established  stage  lines  and  has  the  mail  contracts.  He  is 
at  present  conducting  several  stage  lines  in  the  Verde  Valley.  For 
years  he  has  lived  at  Camp  Verde  and  has  witnessed  the  gradual 
growth  of  that  remarkable  section  from  what  was  practically  a  wilder- 
ness. He  has  been  active  in  promoting  the  recently  discovered  oil 
industry  of  that  section,  and  is  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  Verde 
Valley  Oil  Company,  by  means  of  which  the  attention  of  oil  men 
throughout  the  country  has  been  attracted  to  the  oil  region  near  Camp 
Verde.  Mr.  Stephens  was  born  in  Ohio  in  1866,  and  married  in 
1892  to  Miss  Fannie  Wingfield.  They  have  four  children,  Mar- 
guerite W.,  Mabel  P.,  Mildred  S.  and  W.  Harold.  The  family  is 
at  present  living  in  Prescott,  in  order  that  the  children  may  have  the 
benefit  of  the  High  School.  Mr.  Stephens  is  a  Democrat  who  has 
been  actively  interested  in  his  party  councils  for  years,  but  never 
before  aspired  to  office. 

LON  MASON,  member  of  the  Board  from  Cottonwood,  was  born 
in  Missouri  in  1869,  and  is  the  son  of  Theophilus  Mason,  a  Confed- 
erate veteran  from  his  native  State,  Kentucky,  and  Lydia  Spiller 
Mason.  For  more  than  a  score  of  years  Mr.  Mason  has  been  actively 
identified  with  the  development  of  the  State,  especially  in  the  Verde 
Valley.  At  the  recent  election  he  was  one  of  the  strong  candidates 
of  the  ticket,  and  polled  the  highest  vote  of  the  candidates  for  Super- 
visor. He  was  formerly  a  cattle  man,  but  at  present  is  engaged  in 
farming.  Like  the  other  members  of  the  Board,  he  brings  to  the 
office  a  wealth  of  information  regarding  Yavapai  and  the  conditions

therein,  and  his  experiences  have  been  of  valuable  assistance  in  the 
direction  of  county  affairs.  He  has  been  in  Arizona  since  1889,

during  the  past  score  of  years.  He  was  born  in  California  in  1876. 
and  was  educated  in  that  State.  He  came  to  Phoenix  twenty  years 
ago  and  built  the  Phoenix  Railway,  and  for  twrelve  years  managed  the

of  the  Phoenix  Water  Company,  and  was  identified  with  a  number 
of  the  strong  financial  institutions.  On  going  to  Prescott,  he  or- 
ganized the  Yavapai  County  Savings  Bank,  and  for  two  years  was 
Treasurer  of  the  same.  He  has  also  been  actively  identified  with  the 
mining  industry,  and  at  present  is  Secretary  of  the  Lilian  Gold  &  Cop- 
per Company.  Mr.  Heap  takes  a  prominent  part  in  politics,  and  at 
present  is  City  Councilman  of  Prescott.  Being  a  Republican,  he  is 
the  minority  member  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors,  but  his  advice  and 
influence  are  always  given  full  consideration  by  his  colleagues  on  the 
Board.  Mr.  Heap  is  also  well  known  in  fraternal  circles,  being  a 
member  of  the  Masonic  and  Knights  of  Pythias  lodges.  He  married 
Miss  Helen  Wells,  daughter  of  Judge  Ed  W.  Wells,  and  they  have 
two  sons,  Wells  and  Joe.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Heap  take  a  prominent 
part  in  the  social  life  of  their  home  town.

then  went  to  Virginia  City,  Nevada,  thence 
to  Arizona  in  1879,  and  located  for  a  time 
in  Harshaw,  then  Charlestown,  and  for 
about  three  years  was  employed  at  his  trade. 
In  1884  he  returned  to  Harshaw,  and,  with 
Mr.  Richard  Farrell,  engaged  in  mining,

J.   F.   and  J.   W.   Crampton 

J.  F.  CRAMPTON,  who  was  born  in  San  Bernardino,  California, 
December  1st,  1856,  is  one  of  the  pioneers  of  Arizona  who  can  dis- 
tinctly recall  the  really  thrilling  times  experienced  by  the  residents 
of  the  then  Territory.  His  father  having  died  when  Mr.  Crampton 
was  but  two  years  old,  his  mother  married  J.  A.  Moore,  and  in  1866 
the  family  moved  to  Arizona  and  passed  through  where  the  city  of 
Phoenix  now  is.  He  has  the  distinction  of  having  been  the  first 
white  boy  in  Phoenix,  and  can  distinctly  remember  wading  in  the 
first  ditch  dug  there,  with  Jack  Swilling,  the  man  who  dug  it.  They 
proceeded  to  Fort  McDowell,  where  they  lived  for  the  next  three 
years,  having  had  an  interest  in  the  Seltzer  store,  which  they  sold  out 
in  '69.  They  then  bought  Maricopa  Wells  and  the  Overland  Mail 
Route  from  San  Diego,  California,  to  Tucson,  and  those,  Mr.  Cramp- 
ton  assures  us,  were  mighty  lively  times  with  the  Apache  Indians. 
While  riding  the  mail  route,  on  three  occasions  he  had  narrow  escapes 
from  the  Indians,  and  succeeded  in  getting  away  only  by  the  swiftness 
of  his  saddle  horse.  He  first  went  to  Globe  in  1876,  in  company 
with  the  earliest  settlers  of  the  town,  and  in  1878  he  made  that  his 
home,  which  it  has  since  been.  He  was  married  thirty  years  ago  to 
Miss  Rovilla  Snelling,  a  native  of  Indiana,  but  also  a  pioneer  of  Ari-

zona.  They  have  three  children,  J.  \V.  Crampton,  an  engineer  for 
the  Old  Dominion  Mining  Company,  Mrs.  Joe  Crowley  and  Miss 
Evelyn  Crampton.  Mr.  Crampton  has  been  at  various  times  engaged 
in  mining,  smelting  and  the  cattle  business,  but  he  has  also  served  in 
various  capacities  as  public  official.  He  was  postmaster  of  Globe 
one  term  under  President  Cleveland,  one  year  Deputy  City  Mar- 
shal and  Assessor,  and  at  present  is  filling  the  office  of  Constable. 
Mr.  Crampton  has  developed  in  the  atmosphere  of  the  pioneers,  which 
makes  for  sterling  worth  of  character,  and  is  a  fitting  example  of  what 
the  sturdy  growth  of  those  days  will  do  for  a  man.  He  is  known  far 
and  near,  and  in  him  Arizona  has  one  of  her  best  citizens  and  most 
enthusiastic  workers  and  well  wishers.  He  is  one  of  the  old  Odd 
Fellows  of  the  State,  and  a  member  of  the  Mvstic  Circle. 


HOTEL  ST.  MICHAEL.  Prescott,  as  popular  in  Prescott  as  Prescott 
is  famous  through  out  the  Southwest  as  a  summer  resort,  is  conducted 
by  Ed  Shumate,  who  is  assisted  in  his  business  interests  by  his  son, 
Harry.  The  management  of  the  hotel,  however,  is  in  charge  of 
Thomas  Nolan.  Mr.  Shumate  is  well  known  in  the  State  a>  a 
capable  and  experienced  hotel  man,  and  one  of  the  most  progressive 
citizens,  and  under  his  direction  the  St.  Michael  has  become  a  hotel 
to  which  traveling  men  look  forward  with  pleasure,  and  one  which 
makes  them  glad  to  include  Prescott  in  their  itinerary.  Visitors  to 
the  Mile  High  City  find  many  pleasing  features,  but  none  that  meets 
with  more  general  and  genuine  approval  than  the  St.  Michael,  which 
has  recently  been  renovated,  is  thoroughly  modern,  one  of  the  finest 
in  Arizona,  and  adapted  to  the  complete  comfort  of  both  summer 
and  winter  a-ue«ts.  The  management  uses  every  endeavor  to  give 
to  the  hotel  a  homelike  atmosphere,  and  by  providing  this  for  the 
traveler  Mr.  Shumate  has  overcome  what  has  for  years  been  a  detri- 
ment to  the  city — lack  of  really  comfortable  accommodations. 
Courteous  treatment  and  careful  attention  are  accorded  all  guests, 
and  the  public's  appreciation  of  the  St.  Michael  is  shown  by  its 
splendid  and  constantly  growing  patronage.  Mr.  Shumate  is  at 
present  dividing  his  time  between  this  and  a  catering  busine-s,  and 
this,  too,  is  conducted  in  a  most  superior  manner.  Mr.  Xolan, 
manager  o  fthe  hotel,  is  one  of  the  most  competent  and  popular  hotel 
men  in  the  southwest.  He  has  had  a  number  of  years'  experience 
in  Mexico,  but  left  there  owing  to  the  disturbance,  and  since  coming 
to  Prescott  has  demonstrated  his  special  fitness  for  his  position. 
Harry  Shumate  has  been  a  resident  of  the  city  for  years,  and  is  one 
of  the  leaders  in  every  way.  His  father  and  himself  are  both 
thorough  business  men  and  progressive  citizens,  always  awake  to 
the  needs  of  the  city  and  ready  to  aid  in  its  advancement,  and  the 
business  they  have  established  is  a  credit  to  Prescott — would  be,  in 
fact,  to  a  citv  tnanv  times  its  size.

H.   D.  Keppler 


H.  D.  KEPPLER,  Deputy  Sheriff  of  Greenlee  County,  was  born 
July  12,  1859,  in  San  Antonio,  Texas.  He  is  the  son  of  Jacob 
Keppler  and  Anna  Martha  Ludwich,  and  a  brother  of  Charles  B. 
Keppler,  Chief  Deputy  under  Sheriff  Patty  of  Greenlee  County.  His 
parents  are  both  natives  of  Germany,  but  were  married  in  San  An- 
tonio. Mr.  Keppler  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of  Texas, 
Tvas  first  employed  at  farm  work,  and  then  drifted  into  mining  in 
Dona  Ana  County,  New  Mexico.  He  came  to  Clifton,  Arizona, 
February  18,  1885,  and  was  first  employed  in  the  mines,  but  was 
shortly  afterward  appointed  deputy  sheriff,  his  first  appointment  hav- 
ing been  under  Billy  Burchfield,  of  Graham  County.  He  has  now 
served  more  than  twenty  years  in  this  capacity  in  Graham  and  Green- 
lee Counties.  He  was  appointed  for  the  present  term  by  Sheriff 
John  D.  Patty,  who  places  the  question  of  party  affiliation  in  a  sec- 
ondary position  to  that  of  fitness  for  the  office,  when  one's  ability  and 
unusual  qualifications  have  been  proven  beyond  a  doubt  by  years  of 
service.  Mr.  Keppler  has  also  served  about  eight  years  as  Constable 
in  Morenci.  During  all  these  years  he  has  had  some  very  exciting 


\V  H()'s      \V  H  O 

experinces  while  in  the  performance  of  his  duty.  He  was  in  com- 
pany with  the  deputies  who  were  killed  at  Eagle  Creek,  twelve  mile-; 
from  Morenci,  hut  his  horse  fell  crossing  the  river,  causing  Mr. 
Keppler  to  break  his  arm,  and  also  to  injure  his  leg.  He  was  one  of 
the  participants  in  the  fight  in  1895  when  two  hold-up  men  were 
killed  and  one  captured.  Deputy  Sheriff  Keppler  has  taken  part  in 
all  activities  of  peace  officers  since  1895.  He  was  married  April  13, 
1907,  to  Mrs.  Julia  Smith,  Their  home  is  in  Morenci. 


Careful,  sensible  management  of  the  affairs  of  Gila  County  has 
placed  the  county  in  the  best  financial  condition  ever  known  since  its 
organization,  and  while  all  the  county  officials  will  share  in  it,  to  the 
Supervisors  who  have  acted  in  the  capacity  of  business  managers  must 
be  given  the  greater  part  of  the  credit.  Never  before  has  the  county 
had  such  a  large  bank  account  and  such  a  small  indebtedness,  due  to 
economical,  judicious  expenditure  of  the  money  by  the  Board  of  Su- 
pervisors. All  the  members  are  prominent  Arizonans,  who  have 
experience  in  mining,  cattle  raising  and  farming,  the  three  industries 
to  which  the  prosperity  of  Arizona  is  due,  and  throughout  the  county 
can  be  heard  words  of  praise  for  the  way  in  which  the  officials  have 
conducted  the  affairs  of  the  office.  The  supervisors  attend  to  the 
business  affairs  of  the  county  in  the  same  manner  as  they  do  their 
own,  and  believing  that  modern  equipment  for  the  use  of  the  officials 
to  be  a  good  investment,  among  their  recent  purchases  is  an  automo- 
bile which  will  save  the  taxpayers  thousands  of  dollars  and  furnish 
most  efficient  service. 


DAVID  DEVORE,  Chairman  of  the  Board,  is  a  native  of  the  Blue 
Grass  State,  having  been  born  in  Grayson,  Kentucky,  in  1856,  but 
he  moved  with  his  parents  to  Kansas  at  an  early  age,  and  was  educated 
in  the  public  schools  of  that  State.  His  parents,  Robert  C.  and  Sarah 
Jane  Hayes  Devore,  were  pioneers  of  Kentucky.  David  Devore 
came  to  Arizona  forty  years  ago,  and,  taking  the  first  opening  which 
presented  itself,  was  employed  hauling  lumber  from  Prescott  to 
Camp  Verde  to  build  the  post  from  which  soldiers  guarded  the  pion- 
eers from  the  Apache  Indians.  In  1880  he  moved  to  Globe  and  has 
been  a  citizen  of  Gila  since.  David  Devore  has  always  taken 
a  prominent  part  in  the  political  life  of  the  State,  and  was  one  of  the 
strongest  supporters  of  Governor  Hunt  and  a  close  associate  of  the 
present  executive  for  a  number  of  years.  He  has  also  displayed  an 
interest  in  the  social  and  civic  life  of  the  community.  Mr.  Devore 
was  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Education  for  a  number  of  years, 
and  Road  Supervisor  for  eight  years.  He  has  served  nine  years 
as  supervisor,  having  been  elected  twice  previous  to  the  present  term, 
and  both  times  he  received  the  greatest  number  of  votes  and  drew  the 
long  term.  He  has  acted  as  Chairman  three  years,  and  holds  that 
place  at  present.

pany of  Globe,  and  was  working  for  this  company  when  the  super- 
visors of  the  county  induced  him  to  take  the  position  of  clerk  of  the 
board.  He  has  handled  the  affairs  of  the  office  in  a  most  creditable 
manner,  and  his  advice  has  been  much  sought  by  different  clerks  in

State.  His  father  was  one  of  the  first  to  enlist  in  the  Mexican  War, 
and  served  with  distinction  until  its  close.  He  was  also  connected 
with  the  official  life  of  New  Mexico  for  many  years,  and  wielded  a 
strong  influence  in  its  political  affairs.  After  having  received  a  com- 
mon school  education,  Mr.  Rose  came  to  Arizona  in  1874,  but  re- 
turned to  Silver  City  in  1876.  Two  years  later,  however,  he  again 
came  to  Arizona  and  settled  in  Globe,  where  he  has  since  resided. 
He  was  associated  with  his  father-in-law7,  Patrick  J.  Shanley,  in  the 
Shanley  Cattle  Company  for  a  number  of  years,  but  sold  his  interests 
to  engage  in  mercantile  business.  He  conducted  wholesale  and  retail 
meat  companies  for  some  time,  and  was  also  interested -in  real  estate 
and  other  enterprises,  having  been  a  director  and  large  stockholder  in 
the  Globe  National  Bank  until  it  was  merged  with  the  First  National 
Bank.  Mr.  Rose  was  also  one  of  the  original  owners  of  the  Miami 
Townsite  Company.  He  has  been  for  years  actively  interested  in 
mining,  and  at  the  present  time  holds  many  valuable  claims  in  the 
Globe-Miami  District.  His  record  as  supervisor  during  his  several 
terms  has  been  such  that  he  is  today  one  of  the  strongest  men  politically 
in  Gila  County.  Always  interested  in  the  civic  welfare  of  Globe,

MART  McDoNALD,  like  his  colleagues  on  the  Board,  is  a  pioneer, 
but  unlike  them,  has  never  before  been  connected  with  the  official  life 
of  the  county.  He  has  been  identified  with  the  ranching,  mining 
and  cattle  industries  of  the  State  for  nearly  thirty  years,  and  has  during 
the  entire  time  made  his  home  in  the  northern  part  of  Gila  County. 
He  was  born  in  1869,  in  San  Bernardino,  California,  where  his  par- 
ents, John  and  Sarah  G.  McDonald,  lived  for  many  years.  His  father 
was  a  rancher  and  cattleman,  who,  adapting  himself  to  conditions  on 
the  frontier,  was  at  various  times  associated  with  many  different 
enterprises.  Mr.  McDonald  was  educated  in  the  public  schools  of 
California  and  Arizona,  and  shortly  afterward  located  in  Pine — then 
a  part  of  Yavapai,  but  now  in  Gila  County — took  up  a  homestead  and 
engaged  in  cattle  business.  He  has  since  lived  in  that  vicinity,  but 
is  now  located  at  Payson,  where  he  has  a  ranch  consisting  of  three 
hundred  and  twenty  acres,  a  large  part  of  \vhich  is  under  cultivation. 
Mr.  McDonld  has  always  been  a  staunch  Democrat,  and  is  an  ardent 
advocate  of  the  progressive  principles  of  that  party.  He  wra^  united 
in  marriage  eighteen  years  ago  to  Miss  Oberia  Gladden,  and  to  this 
union  have  been  born  five  children,  John,  Sarah,  Cora,  Rose,  and  one 
son,  Mart,  Jr.
